The present study aimed to analyze the temporal changes in prevalence, screening rate, visual impairments and treatment patterns of diabetic retinopathy Korean population over 8 years.This was a retrospective population-based national health insurance beneficiaries aged 30 years or older with type 2 diabetes, obtained from National Health Insurance Claims database 2006 2013 (n = 1,655,495 2,720,777 2013). annual prevalence rates retinopathy, dilated fundus examinations, impairment, laser...
Two patients complained of blurred vision approximately 6 months after having combined vitrectomy and phacoemulsification with implantation a C-flex 570C hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). Multiple granules were noted on the anterior surface IOLs in both patients. Intraocular exchange was performed eyes, explanted sent for histopathological analysis. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed presence cracks IOL surfaces energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy demonstrated calcium...
To determine long-term surgical findings and outcomes after vitrectomy for symptomatic lamellar macular holes.This is a retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. Sixteen patients (31 eyes) with holes central visual loss participated in the study. All underwent 3-port pars plana membranectomy and/or internal limiting membrane peeling gas tamponade under care of one author. Best-corrected acuity optical coherence tomography appearance were determined preoperatively...
Purpose: To evaluate therapeutic effects and usefulness of a combination treatment intravitreal injection triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in patients with clinically significant macular edema secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods: Visual acuity test, fundoscopy, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) were taken 20 (20 eyes) PDR.A PRP was performed 10 (10 focal or grid laser photocoaqulation the remaining eyes.The...
To assess the changes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients after bariatric surgery.Consecutive 20 with T2DM who underwent surgery and were followed for at least 12 months enrolled. The case history was reviewed retrospectively, laboratory data assessed baseline every 3 postoperatively. Two retinal specialists evaluated severity of DR dilated fundus examination preoperatively Factors associated progression assessed.During follow-up period, without mild nonproliferative...
We aimed to quantify the displacement of macular capillaries using infrared fundus photographs and image processing software (ImageJ) in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) who have undergone vitrectomy analyze correlation between vessel retinal thickness.This prospective study included 16 underwent for ERM. Ophthalmic examination optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed before 3 months after surgery. The length radial segment each area (VLA) from foveola branching...
This report provides a detailed description of the methodology for ophthalmic examinations according to Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VII VIII (from 2017 2021). The KNHANES is nationwide survey which has been performed since 1998 in representatives whole Korean population. During VIII, addition questionnaire, intraocular pressure measurement, visual field test, auto refractometry, axial length optical coherence tomography measurements were included. new...
To report the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power estimation in eyes that have undergone phacovitrectomy for retinal diseases with accompanying macular oedema.A retrospective study was conducted 23 patients at Soonchunhyang University Hospital, Seoul, Korea. The relationship between preoperative planned refraction and postoperative achieved evaluated by simple linear regression analysis. Pre- thicknesses were measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT). estimated IOL ultrasound...
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of intraocular lens (IOL) exchange in patients with an opacified ACRL-C160 using optic-only removal technique.Department Ophthalmology, Soonchunhyang University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.The study comprised eyes previous phacoemulsification and implantation a single-piece hydrophilic acrylic IOL capsular bag subsequent development severe late opacification IOL. In all eyes, optic was explanted; any haptic firm adhesions left bag. This followed by placement new...
Scleral fixation of a foldable intraocular lens (IOL) was performed in 17 eyes patients using new small incision technique with injector implantation. All were implanted hydrophobic acrylic three-piece IOL, either phacoemulsification surgery or secondarily. No cases intraoperative postoperative complications observed. The operation time required for scleral only less than 30 minutes all cases. IOLs self-sealing tunnel and minimizes hypotony related such as suprachoroidal hemorrhage....
To measure fluctuations in infusion pressure and intraocular (IOP) during vitrectomy performed using a flow-based IOP control system.Using 3 vitrectomized porcine eyes, the authors simultaneously measured vitreous cutting aspiration after extraction of operative instruments 23-gauge 25-gauge system. The measurements were with "IOP control" setting turned on or off. efficacy valved cannula built-in limit" module attenuation fluctuation was evaluated.At set 30 mmHg 60 mmHg, mean levels 43.7...
Purpose: This study compared serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration between patients given the bilateral and unilateral intravitreal injections of bevacizumab.Methods: In a prospective manner, VEGF levels in treatment-naive with age-related macular degeneration who underwent or bevacizumab were investigated.After informed consent, peripheral blood was collected from injection before 1 month after injection.Serum measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a significant threat for vision recovery from retinal detachment or ocular trauma. Currently, no approved pharmacological intervention to prevent PVR. Daunorubicin (DNR) and dexamethasone (DEX) were sequentially loaded into oxidized porous silicon (pSiO2) particles by covalent conjugation. The DNR + DEX-loaded particles, control with only DEX incubated RPE-populated collagen daily gel surface quantitation. Toxicity was monitored ophthalmic...
