To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes in eyes with persistent diabetic macular oedema (pDME) on chronic anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy switched to intravitreal faricimab.
In Brief Purpose: To identify fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) predictors for retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear in eyes with epithelium detachment (PED) associated neovascular age-related macular degeneration treated intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) modulating therapy. Design: Retrospective comparative case series. Methods: a single institutional center, 60 consecutive patients PED VEGF therapy (either pegaptanib, bevacizumab, or...
The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic value a new grading system for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears that developed after antivascular endo-thelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy exudative age-related macular degeneration.The authors performed retrospective review consecutive eyes an RPE tear intravitreal injection anti-VEGF agent (pegaptanib, bevacizumab, or ranibizumab) within 4.5-year period (January 2005 January 2009) at single center.

To evaluate the safety and effects of oral eplerenone in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-control study at a tertiary referral academic private practice. For diagnosis chorioretinopathy, patients must have had least 3 months clinical follow-up demonstrating persistent symptoms, subfoveal fluid on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, <50% reduction thickness. Patients were randomized 2:1 (treatment:placebo) to receive (25 mg...
To describe the incidence, timing, visual significance, and management of posterior segment complications after Boston type I keratoprosthesis implantation.A retrospective chart review was conducted all consecutive keratoprostheses implanted by a single surgeon at institution over 6-year period. Preoperative demographics, postoperative complications, acuity outcomes were analyzed.One hundred ten in 98 eyes 94 patients during period under review. A minimum 6-month follow-up available for 83...
Summary 1. As parasites can dramatically reduce the fitness of their hosts, there should be strong selection for hosts to evolve and maintain defence mechanisms against parasites. One way in which may protect themselves parasitism is through altered behaviours, but such defences have been much less studied than other forms parasite resistance. 2. We whether monarch butterflies ( Danaus plexippus L.) use behaviours offspring protozoan Ophryocystis elektroscirrha McLaughlin & Myers (1970)...
Purpose: To report the 1-year clinical outcomes of combined pars plana vitrectomy and ab externo scleral fixation an intraocular lens using Gore-Tex suture. Methods: Retrospective, interventional case series. Outcome measures were change in visual acuity occurrence intraoperative postoperative complications with minimum follow-up 1 year. Results: Eighty-four eyes 83 patients identified. The mean best available improved from 20/782 preoperatively to 20/65 postoperatively ( P < 0.001). was...
In Brief Purpose: To report the clinical features, microbial spectrum, and treatment outcomes of endophthalmitis after glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery. Methods: Records patients diagnosed with GDI surgery were reviewed. Data on course, microbiological laboratory results, analyzed. Results: Of 1,891 eyes that underwent surgery, 14 (0.7%) developed endophthalmitis. The mean time interval between diagnosis was 2.6 ± 3.2 years (median, 1.3 years; range, 11 days–11.4 years). For initial...
