Purpose To assess the prevalence and causes of visual impairment blindness in a Central European country. The findings may have implications for planning further research development therapies order to prevent blindness. Setting Department Ophthalmology, Medical University Graz, Austria. Design Retrospective, epidemiological study. Methods database Main Confederation Austrian Social Insurances was searched patients with impairment, legal or deaf-blindness. This gathers data from all...
Purpose. Patients with diabetic retinopathy (DRP) seldom report symptoms of ocular surface irritation, but evaluations dryness are pathologic. This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between severity DRP and dry eyes. Methods. We included 144 eyes 72 patients. Severity graded according Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. The examinations for Schirmer's test, break-up time, lipid layer thickness, fluorescein rose bengal staining cornea, impression cytology, a...
In Brief Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety profile 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy system in treatment epiretinal membranes compared with standard 20-gauge vitrectomy. Methods: A retrospective case comparison and performed 167 64 eyes, respectively, by same surgeon. Intraoperative postoperative complications, duration surgery, visual acuity results were evaluated. Results: Postoperative hypotony occurred significantly more often group [9.4% (n = 6) vs. 0% 0), P...
To assess the predictive value and applicability of Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) for paediatric injuries.Retrospective case series 71 open globe injuries in children less than 18 years age with a minimum follow-up period 1 year. The variables OTS, Paediatric Penetrating OTS (POTS), lens anterior versus posterior segment were analysed their values terms visual outcome. POTS as whole then evaluated.Initial acuities, retinal detachments, wound locations (p<0.001 each), (p=0.001), (p=0.002),...
Summary Intravitreal injections have revolutionized the treatment of various sight-threatening diseases posterior segment eye. Initially explored for bacterial endophthalmitis, intravitreal rapidly expanded to combat retinal vascular disease in particular. Especially anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents emerged as a cornerstone therapy, targeting neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic edema important examples. Advances continue, with novel therapies such...
In numerous neurodegenerative disorders, neurofilaments, especially their subunits such as the Neurofilament light chain (NfL), are recognized significant biomarkers of axonal injury when increased in blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is characterized by a degeneration retinal ganglion cells leading to injury. Aim this study was evaluation serum NfL (sNfL) levels patients with DOA. sNfL concentration quantified Single Molecule Array (Simoa) SR-X analyzer. Primary aim...
Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability accomplish specific tasks and achieve goals, plays essential role achieving positive outcomes a wide range of domains. Central the measurement any form self-efficacy is assessment without bias, also case interview situation. Outpatients with macular edema, eye disease, participated this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. The study assessed using General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) German. Interviewers read questionnaires...
We did a prospective study of 49 eyes (36 patients) with coexisting cataract and glaucoma who had combined trabeculectomy, phacoemulsification, implantation folded polyHema intraocular lens through the trabeculectomy opening. Preoperatively, pressure (IOP) was controlled (< 20 mm Hg) in 13 on mean 2.2 medications uncontrolled (> 36 2.4 medications. Preoperative visual acuity ranged from 20/40 to hand movements. At end follow-up, IOP below 18 Hg all (100%), without therapy 39 (80%) reduced 8...
To report on Acanthamoeba keratitis cases in a tertiary university eye-hospital Graz, Austria, over 21-year period. Retrospective study. Parameters included demographics, diagnostics, clinical courses, medical therapies, surgical interventions, secondary complications, and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA). Patient records for 44 eyes of 42 patients were analysed; 2 bilateral infections. Mean age at presentation was 31 ± 13 (16-65) years; contact lenses used 41 (93.2%). Symptoms...
Patient activation is an emerging field in healthcare research concerning knowledge, skills, and confidence of patients managing their health. This particularly important for with chronic diseases, who often require more complex care management self-care skills. However, due to temporary or longer-lasting visual impairments, certain patient groups cannot answer a questionnaire independently. The main objective investigate the psychometric properties German Activation Measure® (PAM) survey...
To evaluate the effect of temporal clear corneal phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes that have had trabeculectomy.Department Ophthalmology, University Vienna, Austria.This retrospective study evaluated IOP 48 (35 patients) after trabeculectomy. The mean interval between trabeculectomy and was 27 months +/- 21 (SD) follow-up phacoemulsification, 23 12 months. Intraocular antiglaucoma therapy before cataract surgery at end were evaluated. For statistical analysis, paired...
