BACKGROUND The coexistence of cataract and age related macular degeneration (AMD) is not unusual, especially in the very elderly. The outcome of cataract surgery in these cases depends on the effect of AMD on vision. In this study the authors have compared the outcome of cataract patients with AMD to that of cataract patients with no vision threatening ocular comorbidity, and analysed possible ...
متن کاملGamma knife surgery for choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration.
The authors conducted a study to determine a way of overcoming the poor-quality demonstration of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) on conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies. The poor MR imaging demonstration of CNV in patients with AMD makes the use of gamma knife surgery more difficult. This difficulty, however, can be overc...
متن کاملComment on "Olfactory Function Assessment of Blind Subjects Using the Sniffin' Sticks Test".
When a patient loses visual ability, new synapses may develop in the brain to adapt to new situations and sustain life with other sensory organs. We appreciate the article titled “Olfactory Function Assessment of Blind Subjects Using the Sniffin’ Sticks Test,” written by Çomoğlu et al. In this study, olfactory functions were found to be better in blind patients than in normal individuals. Enhan...
متن کاملComment on: Vitreomacular Adhesion and Its Association With Age-Related Macular Degeneration in a Population-Based Setting: The Alienor Study
We read with interest the recent study of Gattoussi et al. investigating the association between vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) and AMD. The authors did not find any statistically significant associations of VMA with any stage of AMD. This result is in contrast to other previous studies that have found an association between VMA and exudative AMD, suggesting that VMA might be a risk factor for ch...
