Quantitative Analysis of Pigment Epithelial Detachment Response to Different Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Agents in Wet Age-related Macular

چکیده
The prevalence of diabetes is growing at epidemic rates in the USA. Diabetic retinopathy develops in a large proportion of patients and is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Systemic management of diabetic retinopathy has included glycemic, hypertension, and lipid control. Local ophthalmic treatment in the form of focal/grid or panretinal laser photocoagulation has been shown to prevent vision loss in diabetic edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, respectively. The introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor for diabetic macular edema and retinopathy has provided clinicians with improved clinical outcomes with potentially less damaging effects than laser.

Association of ARMS2 genotype with response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
BACKGROUND To investigate whether genetic risk variants for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with response to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) patients. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 95 treatment-naïve patients that underwent anti-VEGF treatment for PCV for 12 months. Patients were geno...
متن کاملOne year results of anti-VEGF treatment in pigment epithelial detachment secondary to macular degeneration Resultados após um ano de tratamento anti-VEGF para o descolamento do epitélio pigmentado secundário à degeneração macular
INTRODUCTION Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a very common cause of vision loss especially in elderly patients living in developed countries. ARMD is caused by the accumulation of drusen in the macula, which is the most important part of the retina, and this process ends in serious irreversible visual impairment. Pigment epithelial detachment (PED) may be seen in all stages of ARMD a...

Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

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...

Introduction: Central serous chorio-retinopathy is self-limited in the majority of patients, who usually retain excellent vision. However, those who do not resolve spontaneously may develop permanent visual impairment because of pigment epithelial and photoreceptor damage. Most clinicians prefer to observe these patients for three months before considering any treatment options because most cas...
