Corneal neovascularization may be treated with topical ranibizumab to reduce severity through decrease in the vessel caliber, according to a study. The prospective, open-label, monocentric, uncontrolled, noncomparative study included 10 eyes of nine pa…
Microincision vitrectomy with ILM peeling yields good results for myopic foveoschisis
Microincision vitrectomy surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling showed good visual and anatomical results for myopic foveoschisis in severely myopic eyes, according to a study.The retrospective, interventional case study included 33 eyes of 29…
Impaired autophagy associated with age-related macular degeneration
A new study published in the prestigious PLoS One journal changes our understanding of the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The researchers found that degenerative changes and loss of vision are caused by impaired function of the…
Axis Difference Between Corneal and Internal Astigmatism to Consider for Toric Intraocular Lenses – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To evaluate the axis difference between corneal and internal astigmatism in patients with cataract, because if the axis of corneal astigmatism is opposite to the axis of internal astigmatism, the amount of refractive astigmatism will increase …
Conjunctival Mini-flap Operation for Restrictive Strabismus After Periocular Surgery – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To investigate the effect of conjunctival mini-flap operation to treat restrictive strabismus in patients with diplopia caused by conjunctival adhesion and hyperplasia after periocular surgery.Design: Case series study.Methods: Eleven patients…
Macular Structure Parameters as an Automated Indicator of Paracentral Scotoma in Early Glaucoma – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive ability of macular parameters defined in the significance map created using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for paracentral visual field defects in early glaucoma.Design: Prospective comparative study.Methods: We studied 78 early-glaucomatous eyes of 78 patients, who underwent SD-OCT and standard automated perimetry 10-2. Macular layer parameters included the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL) + inner plexiform layer (IPL), and RNFL + GCL + IPL. The minimal distance between the area with abnormal (P < 1%) thickness and foveal center was defined as the shortest distance. A wider area of an abnormally thinned (<1%) region, (Read more...)
