To evaluate whether patients with macular pucker (epiretinal membrane [ERM]) and good preoperative visual acuity (20/50 or better) benefit from small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy peeling.Retrospective chart review of eyes undergoing for ERM. Inclusion criterion was impaired due to Exclusion criteria were 20/60 worse, previous surgery (other than uncomplicated cataract surgery), any documented evidence corneal disease that would limit potential. The main outcome measure final acuity. Secondary...
Purpose: To provide a detailed ophthalmic phenotype of two male patients with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) due to mutations in the BBS7 geneMethods: Two brothers ages 26 (Patient 1, P1) and 23 (P2) underwent comprehensive evaluations over three years. Visual function was assessed full-field electroretinograms (ffERGs), kinetic chromatic perimetry, multimodal imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) short- (SW) near-infrared (NIR) excitation...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that although intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) is expected to be more expensive, extra cost of treatment would not result in additional vision gain compared with bevacizumab (IVB) for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). PATIENTS METHODS: A retrospective chart review patients receiving IVB or ranibizumab (IVR) who were subsequently changed IVA active AMD. RESULTS: Thirty-three eyes included study. The mean number IVB, IVR, and injections...
In Brief Purpose: To report the outcomes of combined cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation when performed in conjunction transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy. Design: Retrospective interventional case series. Participants: Consecutive series 55 eyes 51 patients from April 2007 to December 2010. Methods: All underwent simultaneous small incision surgery, IOL implantation, and vitrectomy surgery. Main Outcome Measures: Postoperative visual acuity,...
Purpose: To evaluate intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) in patients with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome and choroidal neovascularization. Methods: Open-label randomized Phase I/II study of IAI syndrome–related Thirty-nine eyes from 39 were a 1:1 ratio to 2 groups. The Sustained Group (n = 19) underwent monthly for 3 months, then mandatory every months 12 (with an option PRN dosing, if needed). 20) received 1 at randomization, months. Results: (19 20 Group) randomized. Average...
To investigate the effect of serial anterior chamber (AC) paracenteses in eyes with sustained elevations intraocular pressure (IOP) setting repeated intravitreal injections (IVI) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor medications.This is a retrospective records review patients undergoing IVI medication (bevacizumab, ranubizumab, or aflibercept), who demonstrated elevation preinjection IOP and also received AC paracentesis immediately after on at least three consecutive visits. Changes...
Purpose: To report outcomes of patients who have undergone combined Trabectome and pars plana vitrectomy. Methods: Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective chart review seen at the Cincinnati Eye Institute before January 2014 undergoing vitrectomy for uncontrolled glaucoma visually significant retina pathology. Charts were reviewed to identify changes in intraocular pressure, visual acuity, change medication requirement up 1 year after surgery. Results: Four met inclusion criteria...
Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in a dramatic decrease AIDS-associated morbidity and mortality including ocular opportunistic infections.However, despite its advantages, the use of ART been associated with metabolic end organ dysfunction, complications remaining ill-defined this group.Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed an outpatient HIV clinic to include all patients receiving who had ophthalmologic evaluation between January 2006 November 2010.All CD4...
Purpose: To present a series of cases corneal chemical burns associated with the use likely improperly buffered lubricant gel, Goniovisc, during uncomplicated, posterior segment surgery. Methods: Cases postoperative complications following surgeries in which Goniovisc was used were collected from 6 retina practices across United States between January and August 2016. The preoperative diagnosis, type procedure, day 1 findings, treatment method, time to resolution irregularity recorded. pH...
