<i>Purpose:</i> To examine the relationship between microaneurysm turnover (formation rate), using a new semi-automatic method (MA-Tracker) based on color fundus photographs, and diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression to clinically significant macular edema (CSME). <i>Methods:</i> In total, 113 patients/eyes with nonproliferative DR (NPDR) were followed up every 6 months for 2 years as controls of clinical trials, by conventional general ophthalmological care next 8...
Abstract Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) comprises a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of inherited retinal degenerations, where 20–30% patients exhibit extra-ocular manifestations (syndromic RP). Understanding the genetic profile RP has important implications for disease prognosis counseling. This study aimed to characterize syndromic in Portugal. Methods Multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Six Portuguese healthcare providers identified with clinical diagnosis available...
To compare the efficacy of 3 different artificial tears (AT) acting primarily in one tear film layers (Tears Again®, lipidic; Opticol®, aqueous; Optive®, mucin) recovering changes patients with dry eye symptoms due to external causes.A total 27 patients, associated extra hours computer or contact lenses use, were randomized 4 treatment groups: A received Tears Again®; B Optive®; C Opticol®; D no (control). Patients observed visits: day 0, 7, and 30. Tear break-up time (TBUT) Schirmer tests...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and ROS-signaling pathways activation attack the eyes. We evaluated oxidative stress (OS) effects of a daily, core nutritional supplement regimen containing antioxidants omega 3 fatty acids (A/ω3) in type 2 diabetics (T2DM). A case-control study was carried out 480 participants [287 T2DM patients with (+)/without (-) diabetic retinopathy (DR) 193 healthy controls (CG)], randomly assigned to daily pill A/ω3. Periodic evaluation through 38 months...

The neurologic examination normal. Magnetic resonance revealed no changes. A diagnostic lumbar puncture...
Abstract Purpose: To highlight the high positive predictive value of retinal pigmentary epithelium (RPE) irregularity and shallow irregular pigmented elevation (SIRE) sign in identifying nonexudative neovascular membranes underscore usefulness these signs clinical practice. Methods: Retrospective case series analysis conducted medical retina clinic one center. Results: Seven cases patients with confirmed optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging where RPE and/or SIRE had been...
Purpose With the increasing interest in choroidal changes Diabetes, we performed a pilot and prospective study to evaluate morphological findings diabetic macular edema detected with SD-OCT, compared normal or non-macular eyes. Methods Two groups of patient were selected: Diabetic patients no any stage retinopathy history ocular treatment; non-diabetic as controls. Patients other diseases surgery where not included. Complete ophthalmological exam was performed. A retinography, blood pressure...
Introduction: Idiopatic Macular Telangiectasia (IMT) are a rare group of various entities presenting with incompetence, ectasia and/or irregular dilations the juxtafoveolar capillaries one or both eyes. Case Report: A 62 year old female Glaucoma was sent to Retina Department suspected diagnosis retinal vein occlusion on left eye (LE). Her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 20/20 in right (RE) and 20/25 LE. Slit lamp examination normal; fundoscopy showed cup-to-disc relation 0.6 RE normal...
