We used vitreous surgery to remove idiopathic epiretinal membranes from the macular area in 70 consecutive cases. The abnormal tissue was successfully removed each case. Vision improved postoperatively 61 eyes (87%), remained unchanged six (9%), and worsened three (4%). However, at time of final examination vision only 47 (67%), primarily because occurrence or progression nuclear sclerosis, which occurred 38 60 phakic (63%). Four preoperative factors were associated with visual acuity 20/60...
To identify specific mutations causing North Carolina macular dystrophy (NCMD).Whole-genome sequencing coupled with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of gene expression in human retinal cells.A total 141 members 12 families NCMD and 261 unrelated control individuals.Genome was performed on 8 affected individuals from 3 chromosome 6-linked (MCDR1) 2 5-linked (MCDR3). Variants observed the MCDR1 locus frequencies <1% published databases were confirmed using...
The authors describe the clinical feature of ten patients with a new syndrome characterized by presence retinal vasculitis, multiple macroaneurysms, neuro-retinitis, and peripheral capillary nonperfusion.The evaluated identified to have features compatible idiopathic aneurysms neuroretinits (IRVAN). Clinical examination findings, sequential funds photographs (when available), fluorescein angiograms, systemic investigations, response therapy, visual outcomes were reviewed.Seven eyes four...
We review our experience and present an analysis of 119 consecutive cases macular pucker treated by vitrectomy removal the epiretinal tissue following treatment for acute retinal tears (16 eyes) or rhegmatogenous detachment (103 eyes). Vision improved postoperatively in 104 (87%) eyes. Final visual acuity 20/60 better was achieved 38 (75%) 51 which macula had not been detached previously 12 (24%) 52 with prior detachment. Two preoperative factors were associated a final 20/100 better: (1)...
• The level of final visual acuity results and the prognostic factors predictive were analyzed in 360 eyes that had pars plana vitrectomy for diabetic traction retinal detachment macula. Fifty-nine percent improved on examination. percentage achieved a 20/100 or better 5/200 increased from 21% to 36% 57% 72%, respectively, during study. Preoperative associated with favorable prognosis (1) better, (2) absence iris neovascularization, (3) clear crystalline lens only minimal cataract formation,...
• We analyzed the results of 105 diabetic vitrectomy cases. The vitrectomies were performed for progressive fibrovascular proliferation that caused epiretinal membranes, vitreopapillary traction, florid neovascularization, or subhyaloid hemorrhage, with without substantial preoperative visual loss. Eyes inactive retinal dense vitreous traction detachment involving macula, combined and rhegmatogenous excluded. Seventy-four eyes (70%) had improved final vision. vision was unchanged in eight...
The histopathologic and cytopathologic study of ocular fluids obtained for diagnostic purposes is presented. analysis fluid specimens with millipore filter, celloidin bag-cell block, transmission electron microscopy techniques has proved to be effective establishing confirming clinical diagnoses. Diagnostic vitrectomy can readily used evaluate such conditions as intraocular tumors, lens blood-induced glaucoma, inflammatory conditions, amyloidosis, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous...
