1323 Fundus controlled examination as additional tool in eyes with choroidal neovascularisation

Background and purpose: A likely explanation for the increase in lens fluorescence with aging and the acceleration of this process in patients with diabetes, is that lens proteins are altered by non-enzymatic glycosylation and the further steps of the Maillard reaction. Thus, the lens fluorescence intensity appears to represent a cumulative index of glycemia over the entire lifetime of the subj...

Serpiginous choroidopathy presenting as choroidal neovascularisation.

Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment in eyes with combined choroidal neovascularisation and vitreomacular traction syndrome.

PURPOSE To report the effect of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections (IVI) on visual acuity in eyes with choroidal neovascularisation (CNVM) and co-existent vitreomacular traction (VMT) or when VMT has developed during the course of treatment. METHODS Retrospective interventional case series of seven eyes in seven patients. VMT was monitored with serial optical cohe...

Iris neovascularisation in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

The iris vascular bed of eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome has been studied with electron microscopy. Two of the eyes suffered from painful glaucoma, whereas the third showed normal intraocular pressure. The following changes were observed: (1) deposits of pseudoexfoliation material lying adjacent to the endothelial wall; (2) thin vessel basement membrane, sometimes even interrupted; (3) ext...

Preretinal neovascularisation associated with choroidal melanoma.

BACKGROUND The rare occurrence of iris neovascularisation and choroidal (subretinal) neovascularisation in patients with choroidal melanoma has been reported. However, the occurrence of preretinal neovascularisation (NVE) fed from the retinal circulation in eyes with choroidal melanoma is far less frequently reported. METHODS Three case reports of choroidal melanoma with the very rare finding...
