Laser photocoagulation, which is the standard treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), can have adverse events. Studies anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections suggested efficacy in ROP, but few studies directly compared them with laser treatments.To compare intravitreal aflibercept vs photocoagulation infants ROP requiring treatment.This noninferiority, phase 3, 24-week, randomized clinical trial was conducted 27 countries (64 hospital sites) throughout Asia, Europe, and...
The psychological capacity to recognize that others may hold and act on false beliefs has been proposed reflect an evolved, species-typical adaptation for social reasoning in humans; however, controversy surrounds the developmental timing universality of this trait. Cross-cultural studies using elicited-response tasks indicate age at which children begin understand ranges from 4 7 years across societies, whereas spontaneous-response with Western false-belief understanding emerges much...
Recent research suggests that infants and toddlers succeed at a wide range of non‐elicited‐response false‐belief tasks (i.e., do not require children to answer direct question about mistaken agent's likely behaviour). However, one exception this generalization comes from verbal anticipatory‐looking tasks, which have produced inconsistent findings with toddlers. One possible explanation for these is when they correctly interpret the prompt as self‐addressed utterance (making task task), but...
To evaluate the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in a patient cohort with short axial eye length to assess performance IOL schemes strong hyperopes.The study was single centre, surgeon retrospective consecutive case series at Augen- und Laserklinik, Castrop-Rauxel, Germany. Inclusion patients after uneventful cataract surgery implanting either spherical (SA60AT) or aspheric (ZCB00) IOLs. criteria were <21.5 mm and/or emmetropising >28.5 D. Lens constants optimised on...
The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations angiogenic and inflammatory markers in human eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema before during therapy intravitreal bevacizumab their association disease activity.In a prospective clinical trial, 10 consecutive patients vision loss because were compared age-matched controls. Bevacizumab administered at baseline; retreatments given monthly according activity. During follow-up 6 months, aqueous humor samples taken each time...
The aim of this study was to correlate different types retinal morphologic alterations secondary diabetic macular disease with their characteristic impact on function.In the present cross-sectional study, 26 eyes patients clinically significant edema were examined. All underwent complete standardized ophthalmologic examination, including SD-OCT and microperimetry. Microperimetric values projected over scanning laser ophthalmoscope image OCT device, allowing direct correlation functional...
Until recently, it was generally assumed that the ability to attribute false beliefs did not emerge until about 4 years of age. However, recent reports using spontaneous- as opposed elicited-response tasks have suggested this may be present much earlier. To date, researchers employed two kinds spontaneous-response false-belief tasks: violation-of-expectation been used with infants in second year life, and anticipatory-looking toddlers third life. In research, 2.5-year-old were tested...
To assess the feasibility and reliability of Laser Speckle Flowgraphy (LSFG) to measure ocular perfusion in a sample healthy white subjects elucidate age-dependence parameters obtained.This cross-sectional study included 80 eyes healthy, non-smoking Western European descent between 19 79 years age. A commercial LSFG instrument was applied blood flow at optic nerve head (ONH) three successive times before after pharmacological pupil dilation. The mean blur rate (MBR), relative velocity,...
<h3>Background/aims</h3> To investigate the impact of antiangiogenic monotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) as add-on strategy on retinal morphology, to analyse prognostic biomarkers for visual outcome retreatment frequency in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). <h3>Methods</h3> 255 patients participating MONT BLANC study were evaluated. Patients randomised receive as-needed ranibizumab or combination (verteporfin PDT ranibizumab). Outcome measures included acuity (VA),...
To assess the reactive changes of corneal epithelial thickness (ET) profile induced by small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for treatment myopia.This prospective observational study included 46 eyes 23 patients that were scheduled myopic SMILE. High-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and a custom image segmentation algorithm applied to measure ET at multiple time points within central 5-mm zone. Postoperative alterations correlated with parameters...
Purpose To assess the prevalence and causes of visual impairment blindness in a Central European country. The findings may have implications for planning further research development therapies order to prevent blindness. Setting Department Ophthalmology, Medical University Graz, Austria. Design Retrospective, epidemiological study. Methods database Main Confederation Austrian Social Insurances was searched patients with impairment, legal or deaf-blindness. This gathers data from all...
Purpose.: To image and analyze hard exudates (HEs) their precursors in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) by using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Methods.: Twenty-two eyes of 16 DME were imaged color fundus photography (CF) PS-OCT. In PS-OCT, HEs automatically detected distinct polarization-scrambling qualities. Color images manually graded for the presence two masked graders correlated corresponding PS-OCT HE maps: overlaid an identical grid 128 ×...
<h3>Aims</h3> This study has been designed to describe the functional impact of distinct pathologies within retinal layers in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) by means a point-to-point correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry. <h3>Methods</h3> Retinal morphology function 23 suffering from GA pigment epithelium (RPE) have investigated using Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering) MP1 microperimeter (Nidek Technologies). The overlay done proprietary...
Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between refractive changes in eye and biometric human crystalline lens during accommodation. Furthermore, differences these relationships young, healthy emmetropic myopic subjects were analyzed.Mean relative change anterior chamber depth (ACD), thickness (LT), segment length (ASL = ACD + LT) objective refraction simultaneously assessed near-point-induced accommodation 10 subjects. Via a beam splitter, measurements performed using partial...
In Brief Purpose: To compare different spectral domain optical coherence tomography devices regarding retinal thickness values in patients with diabetic macular edema and to correlate the results conventional time Stratus OCT data. Methods: Thirty eyes of 30 consecutive were included into a prospective study. The macula was examined by Spectralis HRA+OCT, Cirrus HD-OCT, 3D OCT-1000, OCT. procedures' sequence performed single experienced technician randomized fashion according...
<h3>Aim</h3> To quantify and correlate the morphological functional effects of recommended loading regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). <h3>Methods</h3> In a prospective, interventional clinical trial, 29 consecutive patients (29 eyes) choroidal neovascularisation secondary to AMD received three initial monthly injections ranibizumab.
