Purpose. We describe in detail a relatively simple technique of fundus photography human and rabbit eyes using smartphone, an inexpensive app for the instruments that are readily available ophthalmic practice. Methods. Fundus images were captured with smartphone 20D lens or without Koeppe lens. By coaxial light source phone, this system works as indirect ophthalmoscope creates digital image fundus. The application whose software allows independent control focus, exposure, intensity during...
To report the visual outcomes and complications of scleral fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) using Gore-Tex suture.The current study is a retrospective noncomparative case series including patients who underwent fixation IOL (Akreos AO60) suture from August 2015 to March 2017 at university teaching center. Primary outcome measures were acuity last follow-up.The included 49 eyes 48 patients. Mean follow-up duration postsurgery was 6.9 months (range: 0.9-29.4 months). The indications for...
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a nonneovascular blinding disease and the leading cause for failure in surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Once formed, PVR difficult to treat. Hence, there an acute interest developing approaches prevent PVR. Of many growth factors cytokines that accumulate vitreous as develops, neutralizing vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) A has recently been found at least one animal model. The goal this study was test if Food Drug...
This manuscript reports a rare association of the development acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) after administration an influenza vaccination. A 42-year-old white female presented with 2-week history black spots and paracentral scotoma in right eye receiving seasonal Findings on multimodal imaging were classic for AMN, these findings improved but did not fully resolve 4 weeks initial presentation observation alone. Although febrile illness or use oral contraceptives is most commonly...
<h3>Background</h3> Neodymium–yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser vitreolysis has been proposed as a treatment modality for symptomatic vitreous floaters. The purpose of this paper is to report two cases cataracts associated with posterior capsular compromise, induced by Nd:YAG <h3>Method</h3> Case series. <h3>Results</h3> Two patients who underwent ND:YAG floaters, presented decline in visual acuity the treated eye after procedure. At slit-lamp biomicroscope, each patient was found have...
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) make profound contributions to both physiology pathology. While it is widely believed that direct (PDGF-mediated) activation the primary mode of activating PDGFRs, discovery they can also be activated indirectly begs question relevance indirect PDGFRs. In context a blinding eye disease, PDGFRα results in persistent signaling, which suppresses level p53 thereby promotes viability cells drive pathogenesis. Under same...
Abstract Purpose: We evaluated the clinical outcomes of Intraocular inflammation (IOI) eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) injected brolucizumab in our tertiary referral center. Methods: A retrospective case series for which records all that received intravitreal at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between December 1, 2019, and April 2021 were reviewed. Results: There 345 278 patients who 801 injections. IOI was detected 16 13 (4.6%). In those patients, baseline logMAR...
To study the utility of creating an additional side cut within old laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap using a femtosecond to reduce incidence epithelial ingrowth patients having retreatments for residual refractive errors after LASIK.Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miller School Medicine, Miami, Florida, USA.Comparative case series.On chart review all cases that had retreatment between January 2004 and April 2011, eyes which with LASIK margin was created were classified as Group 1. All...
Background and Objective: To evaluate the use of dynamic infrared (IR) imaging as a tool for objective evaluation symptomatic vitreous floaters to correlate it with patient symptomatology. Study Design/Materials Methods: Retrospective study that examined 66 eyes 44 patients asymptomatic opacities. Patients were imaged using Heidelberg Spectralis image in video mode record movements shadow artifacts within 30 degrees center macula. also asked how their from absent severe. After reviewing IR...
To determine the refractive outcomes after 4-point scleral fixation of Akreos AO60 intraocular lens with Gore-Tex suture.This was a single referral center, multi-surgeon, retrospective consecutive case series. A total 63 eyes met inclusion criteria for having received surgical implantation suture from August 2014 to December 2018. Exclusion included all ocular pathology that precluded an accurate refraction, concurrent surgery, poor corrected pre-operative visual potential, among other...
This study evaluated the efficacy and durability of faricimab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who were previously treated anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents.
The purpose of the current study is to report outcomes with evolving use regional anesthesia monitored care (RA-MAC) vs general (GA) in repair open globe injuries.
Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes with unexplained vision loss during or after silicone oil (SO) tamponade. Methods: This multicenter retrospective case series comprised patients associated SO tamponade its removal. Eyes other clear secondary identifiable causes of were excluded. Results: Twenty-nine eyes 28 (64% male) identified. The mean age was 50 ± 13 years (range, 13-78 years). duration 148 38 days. Eighteen (62%) developed while under SO; 11 (38%) had most common optical...
To report two cases of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) associated with vitreoretinal surgery.Two patients underwent surgery and were diagnosed CRAO on postoperative day one. Both had received retrobulbar anesthetic blocks, followed by pars plana vitrectomy in one patient scleral buckling the other patient. Best-corrected visual acuity at last follow-up was 20/40 20/400.CRAO is a rare but serious adverse event after surgery. The causative mechanism not known these patients.
