Grid laser photocoagulation in the treatment of serous avascular pigment epithelial detachment in age-related macular degeneration.
Purpose: Describe the outcomes of thermal laser photocoagulation in three cases of retinal pigment epithelium detachment associated to age-related macular degeneration. Methods: Three patients with avascular retinal pigment epithelium detachment were treated with green diode laser photocoagulation. Mild macular grid laser application, similar to the treatment of diabetic macular edema was perfo...
متن کاملNon-responsiveness to intravitreal aflibercept treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration: implications of serous pigment epithelial detachment
The prognosis of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been improved by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatments, including intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) treatment. However, many patients remain incurable. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated non-responsiveness to IVA monotherapy at 12 months in 133 eyes of 133 AMD patients. Sixty-two patients were initially t...
متن کاملSerous Pigment Epithelium Detachment Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Possible Treatment Approach
To evaluate the effects of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) as a monotherapy of serous Pigment Epithelial Detachment (PED) associated with AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration), this study has been performed. Seventeen patients (19 eyes) with serous PED associated with AMD were observed. All patients received 0.1ml (4mg) of intravitreal TA. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. Re-...
متن کاملTreatment of Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration Associated with Pigment Epithelial Detachment: An Update
Ali Dirani1* and Ghassan Cordahi1 1Department of Ophthalmology, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) is defined as an anatomical separation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from the underlying Bruch layer [1]. Serous and vascularized (fibrovascular) PED are commonly present in eyes with neovascular AMD. According to some studies, up...
متن کاملTreatment of retinal pigment epithelial detachment secondary to exudative age-related macular degeneration
Purpose This pilot study evaluated the combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) as a treatment in patients with a pigment epithelial detachment (PED) due to exudative age-related degeneration (AMD). Methods We analyzed seven consecutive patients between September 1, 2015 and September 1, 2017 with a PED secondary to exudative AMD who we...
