The primary objective of this study was to assess whether the topical administration two neuroprotective drugs (brimonidine and somatostatin) could prevent or arrest retinal neurodysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. For purpose, adults aged between 45 75 years a diabetes duration ≥5 an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) level ≤35 were randomly assigned one three arms: placebo, somatostatin, brimonidine. outcome change implicit time (IT) assessed by multifocal...
In Brief Purpose: To compare outcomes of eyes that did or not develop an epiretinal membrane (ERM) after repair primary pseudophakic aphakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment by pars plana vitrectomy alone. Methods: Interventional, prospective, consecutive case series. Of 312 underwent for detachment, 28 (8.97%) developed ERM during the postoperative period. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and fundus examinations were performed 1 month 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively. Results: Eyes with...
To evaluate the efficacy, effect profile, and safety of dexamethasone implant on diabetic macular edema (DME) in a real-life setting, further comparing results by DME duration, previous treatment status, control.A multicenter, retrospective cohort 340 eyes 287 patients from 25 clinical sites 8 countries.Data were analyzed 2 perspectives: per injection, which all measurements grouped baseline was defined as day thus pharmacodynamics single injections could be assessed; injection series, or...
Purpose To evaluate the long-term cumulative probability of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation with intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) when used to treat different indications: diabetic macular edema, uveitis, retinal vein occlusion. Methods 705 IDI injections (429 eyes) were assessed and Kaplan-Meier graphs generated assess: levels IOP (IOP≥21, ≥25 or ≥35 mmHg), change ≥10 mmHg, initiation IOP-lowering treatment, glaucoma surgery, repeat in eyes ocular hypertension (OHT). Results...
To assess the relationship between risk for acute endophthalmitis after cataract extraction and whether certain factors, such as surgeon qualification, numerical order, duration of surgery, operating theater, type anesthesia (topical or retrobulbar), could be modified to decrease risk.Single-center academic practice.Two epidemiological studies were performed: a case-control study retrospective cohort study. The surgical records all patients with clinically diagnosed within 30 days surgery...
<h3>Background:</h3> Eyes with high posterior choroidal melanomas are frequently enucleated because of the potential complications radiotherapy. The aim this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy endoresection at long-term follow-up. <h3>Methods:</h3> Retrospective, non-randomised, interventional case series. Thirty-eight patients underwent endoresection. For primary procedures, inclusion criteria were tumour thickness ⩾8 mm, base <15 tumours not exceeding equatorial area....
To review the surgical management and functional outcome of macular holes (MHs) developing after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. Twenty patients with MH repair were included. Pars plana vitrectomy internal limiting membrane peeling gas tamponade was performed. Macular attachment status number best-corrected visual acuity lines improvement evaluated.The fovea had been detached in all eyes at time repair. Six MHs developed...
Objective Detection of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) has significant impact on the management type 2 diabetes. We examined whether assessment diabetic retinopathy (DR) is useful for identifying patients at a higher risk having silent CVD. Research design and methods Prospective case–control study comprising 200 subjects without history clinical CVD 60 age-matched non-diabetic subjects. The presence was using two parameters: (1) calcium coronary score (CACs); (2) composite CACs...
The common adventitial sheath that surrounds the retinal venule and arteriole at crossing site plays a crucial role in branch vein occlusion (BRVO). purpose of this study was to report surgical recanalization occluded using bimanual technique recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) its effect on final visual acuity.Arteriovenous sheathotomy performed, technique, followed by fluid-air exchange injection 25 mg tPA over area vein.Intraoperative sectioning arteriovenous achieved all 40...
<h3>Aim:</h3> To report a case series in which modified technique was used to remove retained subretinal perfluorocarbon liquid. <h3>Method:</h3> In three patients with liquid, three-port pars plana vitrectomy approach perform small self-sealing retinotomy adjacent the liquid bubble. The tip of 50-G glass micropipette connected an active suction system inserted bubble, and aspirated. <h3>Results:</h3> Successful removal achieved all cases no complications. Visual acuity improved patients....
To report two highly myopic patients with silicone posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (Phakic Refractive Lens; CIBA Vision, Duluth, Ga) that luxated into the vitreous cavity without history of ocular trauma.Two (PIOLs) right eye were examined. Each underwent pars plana vitrectomy and removal PIOL under retrobulbar anesthesia.Both treated successfully. In first patient, anterior whereas in second lay on pole. No complications developed postoperatively.Luxation is a rare, but...
To report on pars plana vitrectomy with diffuse illumination, wide-angle viewing, and meticulous vitreous dissection for identifying managing retinal breaks when no were detected before surgery primary rhegmatogenous detachment.Prospective clinical study of 61 800 consecutive eyes (7.6%) (61 782 patients) seen at a university hospital during the 48-month detachment in whom break could be identified preoperatively despite thorough examinations. All patients underwent alone peripheral assisted...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the association between insulin resistance and diabetic macular oedema in type 2 diabetes. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients with diabetes who agreed to undergo blood sampling were enrolled into this cross-sectional study. had received treatment for within past 3 months those other retinal diseases excluded. The following data recorded: age, sex, time of evolution, HbA1c, ophthalmologic systemic treatment, lens status. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed...
