The presence of visual impairment (VI) and hearing loss (HL) with may be a marker for subsequent cognitive decline over time in older people. A prospective, longitudinal population-based study the 3654 participants Blue Mountains Eye Study were assessed associations between VI HL mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores duration 10 years from 5-year (baseline this report) to 15-year follow-up visits. MMSE was at 5-, 10- ≥3 or visits indicated possible decline. defined as best-corrected...
Purpose.: We assessed the impact of visual impairment on incidence falls and fractures in older persons. Methods.: Of 3654 baseline participants, 2334, 1952, 1149 were re-examined after 5, 10, 15 years. Presenting acuity (VA) was measured at each examination. Bilateral unilateral defined as VA worse than 20/40 better eye, respectively. Incident eyes with or baseline, which subsequently developed impairment. Incidence over 12 months before visit, whereas 5 years between two visits. Discrete...
To quantify the burden and quality of life patients their caregivers in a cohort with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) an Australian clinical setting.A total 103 undergoing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for nAMD were asked to complete questionnaires relating financial time burdens nAMD.All completed questionnaires. Loss productivity due attendance appointments was 4.4±1.7 hours per month, additional lost by caregivers. Financial strain incurred...
Report 5-year outcomes of patients receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for the treatment macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO.Retrospective review eyes with RVO which initiated anti-VEGF treatment. Data including age, gender, visual acuity (VA) and injection numbers were obtained from medical records. Optical coherence tomography scans graded presence or absence central foveal thickness (CFT). Macular perfusion was assessed on fundus fluorescein...
To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of oral saffron, a natural antioxidant, in treating mild/moderate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Australia is increasing. Thus, it essential that practitioners appreciate the impending effect increasing has on patients wider community. Accordingly, this study examines humanistic burden intravitreal injections for treatment diabetic macular oedema (DMO) among several health variables.Survey data from a representative sample Australian adults undergoing DMO were examined. Respondents participated via an online survey recruited by...
<h3>Background:</h3> Computed tomography (CT) scans are commonly used to diagnose acute diverticulitis, but there overlapping features between diverticulitis and colorectal cancer (CRC) on imaging studies. Hence, colonoscopy is typically recommended after an episode of rule out underlying malignancy. Currently, 64-slice multidetector CT scanners capable providing higher-resolution images may be able distinguish malignancy from diverticular inflammation. We aimed determine the prevalence CRC...
It is unclear whether differences exist in surgical complication rates and long-term visual acuity outcomes between patients whose phacoemulsification cataract surgery was performed by ophthalmological trainees those consultants. Prospective clinical cohort study. 1851 participants of the Cataract Surgery Age-related Macular Degeneration study, aged ≥64 years, had at Westmead Hospital, Sydney. Surgical 24-month postoperative visits were compared who operated on included operative...
Purpose: To evaluate functional and anatomical outcomes after a switch from intravitreal bevacizumab to aflibercept in patients with persistent diabetic macular edema. Methods: Prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical trial of edema, despite previous treatment bevacizumab. Five loading doses were administered every 4 weeks subsequent injections 8 weeks. Patients reviewed weeks, best-corrected visual acuity central thickness recorded. Primary outcome measures included change at week 48...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To prospectively assess the safety and efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept for treatment-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This prospective, non-randomized clinical trial included 49 patients with nAMD who received 2 mg as 3 monthly loading doses, followed by injections every months over 12 months. Inclusion criteria active on fluorescein angiography at baseline...
