Importance Aflibercept, 8 mg, may have greater therapeutic benefits compared with aflibercept, 2 in patients neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), including potentially improved outcomes and decreased treatment burden. Objective To assess safety efficacy of nAMD. Design, Setting, Participants The CANDELA trial was a phase 2, randomized, single-masked, open-label, 44-week clinical conducted the US. Treatment-naive active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to nAMD...

Purpose: To report 1-year follow-up of a phase 1/2a clinical trial testing composite subretinal implant having polarized human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells on an ultrathin parylene substrate in subjects with advanced non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NNAMD) Methods: The included 16 two cohorts. main endpoint was safety assessed at 365 days using ophthalmic and systemic exams. Pseudophakic geographic atrophy (GA) severe vision loss...
To report the end-of-study results from Ladder clinical trial of Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) for treatment neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Multicenter, randomized, active treatment–controlled phase 2 trial. Patients diagnosed nAMD a documented response to anti–vascular endothelial growth factor who received study (N = 220). were randomized 3:3:3:2 PDS filled 10-mg/ml, 40-mg/ml, and 100-mg/ml formulations or monthly intravitreal 0.5-mg injections....
Cell-based therapies face challenges, including poor cell survival, immune rejection, and integration into pathologic tissue. We conducted an open-label phase 1/2a clinical trial to assess the safety preliminary efficacy of a subretinal implant consisting polarized monolayer allogeneic human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells in subjects with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary dry age-related macular degeneration. Postmortem histology from one subject very...
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and injection frequency of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonists in treatment macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) clinical practice.A multicenter retrospective study medical records 165 patients (95 branch RVO, 70 central RVO) treated with at least three anti-VEGF injections eye was conducted. Available data collected for 6 months after first included Snellen best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), thickness (CRT) by...
To educate ophthalmologists on the potential dangers of periocular acupuncture and to describe an unusual mechanism retinal injury.A 42-year-old woman who presented with blurred central vision loss peripheral vision. Her medical history was significant for hemifacial spasms related a facial nerve injury, which she had sought treatment. Clinical examination showed vertically oriented subretinal track measuring 12 mm in length, contiguous macula, normal optic appearance foveal reflexes....
In Brief Purpose: To describe the atypical intraoperative positioning of a kyphosis patient resulting in successful retinal detachment repair. Methods: Case report. Results: A 66-year-old man presented with bilateral vision loss, and pars plana lensectomy repair were planned for left eye. Innovative surgical was required patient's severe ankylosing spondylitis–related kyphosis, fixed 90° curvature his cervical spine. With straps, orthopedic padding tape, he securely placed head-down on...
Abstract Background The purpose of this report is to describe the occurrence a retinal tear, pre-retinal and vitreous hemorrhages after completing session whole-body vibration training. Though our patient third documented case hemorrhage following training, he first show close association tear with Case presentation This describes 59-year-old male who had acute onset floaters shadows in left eye. results examination revealed temporal inferior hemorrhage, mild hemorrhage. He was successfully...
Diamond dust particles were identified within patients’ eyes both during vitrectomy procedures using diamond-dusted membrane scrapers and in postoperative clinical examinations. The had no impact on the vision caused apparent sequelae. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed average particle size to be 23.4 μm an unequal surface area for adhesion onto soft tip. It was determined that diamond can dislodge from silicone tip of Tano insertion into valve trocars throughout operations...
