Age-related differences in vitreoretinal adhesion were investigated 59 human eyes from donors aged 33 weeks of gestation to 94 years with the use dark-field and electron microscopy whole vitreous. In all individuals 21 or older, dissection retina off vitreous resulted cleavage between cortex internal limiting lamina. However, six (40%) 15 20 younger, lamina remained adherent an area that encompassed macula, temporal arcades, peripapillary posterior pole. Ultrastructural studies revealed...
<h3>Objectives</h3> Vitreoschisis is a possible pathogenic mechanism in macular diseases. Thus, the vitreoretinal interface was evaluated monkey eyes and patients with various diseases search of vitreoschisis. It hypothesised that vitreoschisis present holes (MH) pucker (MP), but not other maculopathies. <h3>Methods</h3> Histopathology studied 14 vitrectomy specimen patient pucker. Optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (OCT/SLO) performed 239 eyes: 45 MH, MP, 51 dry...
Floaters impact vision but the mechanism is unknown. We hypothesize that floaters reduce contrast sensitivity function, which can be normalized by vitrectomy, and minimally invasive vitrectomy will have lower incidences of retinal tears (reported at 30%) cataracts (50-76%).Seventy-six eyes (34 phakic) with were evaluated in 2 separate studies. Floater etiologies primarily posterior vitreous detachment 61 76 (80%) myopic vitreopathy 24 (32%). Minimally 25G was performed without induction,...
Purpose.: Clinical evaluation of floaters lacks quantitative assessment vitreous structure. This study used ultrasound (QUS) to measure opacities. Since reduce contrast sensitivity (CS) and quality life (Visual Function Questionnaire [VFQ]), it is hypothesized that QUS will correlate with CS VFQ in patients floaters. Methods.: Twenty-two eyes (22 subjects; age = 57 ± 19 years) were evaluated Freiburg acuity testing (FrACT; %Weber) VFQ. Ultrasonography a customized probe (15-MHz center...
• Vitreous changes in diabetes can exacerbate proliferative diabetic retinopathy. These may be due to the effects of on vitreous collagen. samples from 19 patients with retinopathy and 23 without were analyzed for collagen crosslinks, as well early glycation products, glucitolyllysine glucitolylhydroxylysine. Fluorometry was performed measure advanced end products. derived found have significantly higher levels crosslink dihydroxylysinonorleucine (3.15 vs 1.24 mol/mol collagen,P
