PURPOSE To integrate parameters on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) based on the self-organizing map and objectively describe the macular morphologic patterns. METHODS A total of 336 consecutive eyes of 216 patients with DR for whom clear SD-OCT images were available were retrospectively reviewed. Eleven OCT parameters and the logarithm of the...

PURPOSE To determine the correlation between renal dysfunction and the morphologic changes of macular edema in diabetes. METHODS The current study included 93 patients with diabetic macular edema based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) who completed systemic condition testing one month before or after the OCT. Based on the OCT findings, patients were divided into the following five groups...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) on pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) and determine the efficacy when used preoperatively and after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Kocatepe University, School of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. METHODS One hundred seventy-nine eyes of 189 patients havin...

PURPOSE We used scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) microperimetry to evaluate scotomas in patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSME) in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS We studied 19 patients (mean age = 63 years; range, 45-78 years) (19 eyes). SLO microperimetry was performed in all eyes. We divided patients into three groups as follows: dense scotoma, relative scot...

Abstract Background To report the prevalence of ocular abnormalities and investigate visual acuity in a large cohort retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients Western China. Methods The medical records ophthalmic examination reports 2127 eyes 1065 RP at one eye hospital were retrospectively reviewed to determined relationship between best corrected (BCVA) macular abnormalities. Results Nyctalopia (58....

Purpose: To determine the rate of incidence and most common type macular complications in patients with Behcet disease. Methods: In this monocentric retrospective clinical study we examined all diagnosed disease between April 2018 2022 (150 patients). Each individual would undergo a complete ophthalmological examination, fundus retinography, OCT scan fluorescein angiography. Results: 54 150 pre...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To assess the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the evaluation and follow-up after vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 18 eyes of 12 patients affected by presumed diabetic vitreous-induced macular edema underwent biomicroscopy with a Goldmann contact lens, fluorescein angiography, and OCT. RESULTS OCT revealed two patterns of...

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is a contributing factor in some retinal diseases, hence the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a common pathway in proliferative retinopathies. Bevacizumab has been found to be effective in the treatment of these diseases. The aim of this study was to review all cases of intravitreal bevacizumab given in the retinal unit of the University College Hospi...

Purpose To report the first sequential cross-over treatment with the longest ophthalmic follow-up in a case of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) successfully treated with topical dorzolamide. Observations A healthy 34 year-old man presented with one month history of decreased visual acuity in his left eye. Funduscopy was significant for a blunted and cystoid-like foveal reflex in both ey...
