To study the subbasal corneal plexus (SCP) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) treated or nontreated panretinal Argon laser photocoagulation (ALP).Fifty consecutive DR and 50 age- sex-matched normal control subjects were examined retinal tomography by a masked evaluator. The following nerves parameters considered: number per frame, tortuosity, reflectivity. Diabetic divided into two groups, according to presence of proliferative versus nonproliferative retinopathy, Early Treatment...

Involutional entropion is a common lower lid malposition. Addressing both the horizontal and vertical eyelid laxity in patients with involutional seems to have more long-lasting effect on maintaining stability; however, there some disagreement as which approach best surgical intervention. The aim of this study was determine differences outcome Jones retractor plication (JRP) alone versus lateral tarsal strip (JRP + LTS) for treatment entropion.A retrospective case series comparison 118...

Currently, the gold standard of diabetic macular edema (DME) treatment is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections, although a percentage patients do not respond optimally. Vitrectomy with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling well-established for DME cases tractional component while its role nontractional unclear. The aim this study to evaluate vitrectomy ILM in refractory DME.We performed retrospective review twenty-eight eyes treated at San Giuseppe...

We describe in our study a modified standard enucleation, using sclera harvested from the enucleated eye to cover prosthesis order insert large porous implant and reduce postoperative complication rates phthisis globe.We perform initially enucleation. The (Bioceramic) is then covered only partially by patient's sclera. inserted posterior Tenon's space with scleral covering looking at front. All patients were followed least for twelve months (average followup 16 months).We performed nineteen...

To describe macular pucker contraction patterns with en face optical coherence tomography (OCT), to provide a correlation metamorphopsia scores, and discuss the protective role of Henle fiber layer (HFL) against tangential traction.

Purpose . To compare the ocular hypotensive effect of tafluprost with prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) in glaucoma patients. Methods 89 primary open-angle patients treated bimatoprost, latanoprost, or travoprost for at least 3 months complaining discomfort were switched to tafluprost. IOP was assessed baseline and after switching therapy by daily curve. Primary outcome mean PGAs. Results The was<mml:math...

ABSTRACT Purpose: Analyze the peripheral vitreo-retinal interface with widefield optical coherence tomography (WF-OCT). Methods: Retrospective chart analysis and WF-OCT in 120 consecutive cases of rhegmatogenous pathology. Results: There were 166 lesions eyes, including 106 horseshoe tears, 22 operculated (OH), 30 non-operculated (NOH) holes, 6 giant 2 lamellar defects followed for 6.1±1.2 months. Posterior vitreous detachment was present all eyes (101/101, 100%) tears OHs, but only 5/19...

Abstract Background Corticosteroids are widely used in medicine. Few cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) have been reported following topical corticosteroid administration. We describe the first case pediatric CSC related to Case presentation A 14-year-old boy presented with decreased vision, pigment epithelial detachments, and retinal detachments right eye after starting treatment for atopic dermatitis Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% ointment. His condition resolved 2 weeks...

To evaluate the diagnostic assessment of optic nerve heads (ONH) by stereophotography (SP) and Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).This study involved 53 consecutive RP 24 controls who underwent ONH examination SP HRT. On basis appearance at SP, were divided normal-colored (24/53) pale (29/53). The measurements vertical diameter cup/disc ratio (VCDR) HRT compared between groups means t test Bland-Altman plots. Diagnosis, pallor size, image quality...

To compare the four-petal evisceration technique and standard technique.In this retrospective, comparative case series study, sixteen charts of patients fulfilled inclusion criteria were reviewed. Orbital implant exposition complication rates between two surgical techniques evaluated.A total 16 eye included in analysis (eight four petal group eight group).During postoperative follow-up there no cases exposure or migration (25%) group.Exposed orbital implants dimension both mm eviscerated for...

To test the hypothesis that optical coherence tomography (OCT) choroidal hypertransmission width (CHW) is a prognostic biomarker in idiopathic macular hole (MH) surgery METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing successful pars plana vitrectomy for MH. We collected demographic, clinical, and OCT variables at preoperative last available visits. Two investigators assessed following parameters: MH minimum diameter, base CHW, ellipsoid zone, external limiting membrane...

To describe and report the anatomical functional outcomes of a novel sutureless peripheral intravascular catheter (PIVC)-assisted scleral fixation three-piece IOL.

Purpose: To describe the case of a young boy affected by rhegmatogenous retinal redetachment in whom use peripheral optical coherence tomography led vitreoretinal surgeon to treat patient with an additional surgery instead “watchful waiting” strategy. Methods: A 13-year-old was referred Vitreoretinal Department study institution macula-off his right eye secondary second blunt trauma. Three months before, he treated episcleral and cryopexy as result first traumatic detachment. Once presented...
