The second single (Ozurdex). Patients followed for 6 months. main outcomes best-corrected visual acuity...

Background. To evaluate the correlation of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in patients various posterior uveitis disorders. Methods . Interventional case series including 23 eyes 15 diagnosis a specific type retinochoroiditis, such as acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), serpiginous-like choroiditis, choroiditis (MFC), Harada disease, and syphilitic retinochoroiditis. Also, some cases undefined retinochoroiditis were included. FAF...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate standardized automated segmentation procedures spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in imaging age-related macular degeneration.Twenty-nine eyes 29 patients with neovascular degeneration were included. Three groups assigned, according the predominant localization extravasated fluid intra-, subretinal, and subretinal pigment epithelium (RPE) compartment. Automated evaluated B scans 512 × 128 1024 200 scan patterns using SD-OCT...

Purpose: To evaluate the combined use of optical coherence tomography and angiography (OCT-A) for imaging choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).Materials Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from May 2015 April 2017. Included in were 54 patients (n = 63 eyes), all whom had CNV nAMD been examined by OCT-A. Angioscans (3x3 6 × 6) conventional B-scan OCT scans obtained at baseline various times during 24-month...

Introduction: Iris retraction syndrome (IRS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by backbowing of the iris positioned on lens with complete pupillary block. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are new class immunomodulating agents used in cancer therapy, and although they have high response rates, ophthalmic-related side effects been reported. We report case bilateral IRS hypotony after therapy nivolumab. Case Presentation: present hypotony, 3 mm Hg OD 5 OS, The patient presented...

Aims: To report the anatomic and functional outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab in idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasia (IPT). Material methods: Four eyes three patients were included this interventional case series. One patient (two eyes) had bilateral IPT (type 2) two unilateral 1) IPT. Retreatment was scheduled leakage persistence combination with visual acuity (VA) deterioration. Fluorescein angiography optical coherence tomography performed together a full ophthalmic examination at...

Background: Single-dose azithromycin (AZT) has been proved efficient in treating various human Chlamydia infections. However, it not thoroughly tested patients with adult inclusion conjunctivitis (AIC). It is the aim of this study to perform a comparative evaluation efficacy and safety one-day AZT long-term doxycycline (DOX) regimens AIC present clinical profile regression course disease.Materials: Eighty-three consecutive adults, symptoms signs chronic positive Polymerase Chain Reaction...

To report a case of bilateral recurrent posterior uveitis caused by human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) in immunodeficiency virus-positive individual.Comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including imaging with optical coherence tomography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, adequate laboratory tests were performed. A patient without any AIDS defining condition, history referred to us the diagnosis retinal detachment.Vitreous polymerase chain reaction detected an aberrant band for...

Purpose: To describe a case of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) response to intravitreal therapy with aflibercept (Eylea). Methods: Retrospective report. Results: A 36-year-old woman sudden visual impairment and central scotoma was found have UAIM in her left eye. Three weeks after continuous worsening acuity scotoma, the patient treated injections aflibercept. The increased macula lesion regressed, causing scarring 2 injections. Conclusions: Intravitreal could be option...

To present functional and anatomic outcomes of combination therapy with ranibizumab photodynamic (PDT) in a series retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) cases.A total 17 eyes patients RAP were included.
