Pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) is associated with superior visual acuity and reduced vertical metamorphopsia compared pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). It important to determine postoperative photoreceptor integrity both surgical techniques.To compare on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) between PnR PPV at 12 months postoperatively.Post hoc analysis of the Retinopexy Versus Vitrectomy Management Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal...
Purpose: To present a new technique, macular hole hydrodissection, that increases the likelihood of closure for challenging holes (MHs) with multiple risk factors. Methods: A retrospective review all consecutive eyes idiopathic Stage 3 and 4 MHs were either persistent (failed previous vitrectomy surgery), chronic (symptoms central vision loss ≥2 years or clinical diagnosis ≥1 year), and/or large (aperture diameter ≥400 μ m), having undergone hydrodissection surgical technique between January...
Purpose: This study introduces the Cloverleaf Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) flap technique for managing challenging macular holes, aiming to enhance ILM placement and improve functional anatomical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review of cases undergoing was conducted at a single center. involves creating multiple flaps in cloverleaf configuration order stability coverage hole. Clinical characteristics, surgical details, outcomes were analyzed. Visual acuity measurements converted...
To investigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on case volumes and wait-times for ophthalmic surgery in Ontario, Canada.
Although rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair techniques have high anatomical reattachment rates, there may be differences in various aspects of postoperative vision-related quality life (VRQoL).To explore the VRQoL between pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) following RRD repair.Post hoc exploratory analysis Pneumatic Retinopexy vs Vitrectomy for Management Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Outcomes randomized clinical trial conducted August 2012 May...
To the Editor: Limited studies are available on long-term efficacy and safety of dupilumab for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) beyond 52-week follow-up. A recent publication by our group showed favorable outcomes with no new signals in patients AD over 52-weeks treatment.1Jo C.E. Georgakopoulos J.R. Ladda M. et al.Evaluation efficacy, safety, reasons discontinuation moderate to severe clinical practice: a retrospective cohort study.J Am Acad Dermatol. 2020; 82: 1530-1532Abstract...
Charles Bonnet syndrome is characterized by formed visual hallucinations in individuals with vision loss. It reported that one five older adults loss suffer from and the suspected lack of awareness amongst family physicians may lead to misdiagnosis inappropriate treatment.To assess Canadian physicians' syndrome.We conducted a national perception practices survey across Canada (i) level physicians; (ii) frequency encounters patients (iii) management strategies referral patterns for presenting...
To characterise the baseline prevalence of subretinal fluid (SRF) and its effects on anatomical visual acuity (VA) outcomes in diabetic macular oedema (DME) retinal vein occlusion (RVO) following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).This is a retrospective cohort study 122 DME 54 RVO patients who were initiated anti-VEGF therapy with real-world variable dosing. The cohorts subclassified based presence SRF at presentation. Snellen VA was measured converted to logarithm minimum angle...
Exercise-based interventions have shown promise in slowing cognitive decline, however there is limited evidence for scalability. Our previous research has linked a novel visuospatial memory exercise intervention, incorporating patterned walking or square-stepping (SSE) with significant improvements executive function and among older adults normal cognition as well those subjective complaints (SCC) mild impairment (MCI). The aim of the current study was to determine feasibility utility...
<h3>Background:</h3> Jurisdictions worldwide ramped down ophthalmic surgeries to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, creating a global surgical backlog. We sought predict long-term impact COVID-19 on timely delivery non-emergent ophthalmology sub-specialty care in Ontario. <h3>Methods:</h3> This is microsimulation modelling study. used provincial population-based administrative data from Wait Time Information System database Ontario for January 2019 May 2021 and facility-level March 2018...
