BACKGROUND We evaluated the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab on diabetic macular edema with subfoveal and perifoveal hard exudates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven eyes (11 patients) exhibiting diabetic macular edema with subfoveal and perifoveal hard exudates were included in this prospective, nonrandomized interventional pilot study. All patients were treated with monthly scheduled intravi...

PURPOSE To investigate macular thickness and visual acuity changes after 1 intravitreal injection of 0.5-mg ranibizumab during phacoemulsification cataract surgery in eyes with diabetic macular edema refractory to laser treatment. METHODS Eleven eyes of 11 patients with diabetic macular edema refractory to modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study laser therapy received intravitreal...

METHODS: A total of 50 eyes from 50 patients were included. Group 1 (n = 25) was implanted with the TECNIS® 1 ZLB +3.25 and group 2 (n = 25) with the TECNIS® 1 ZKB +2.75. Patients were assessed at 24 hours, 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. At surgical discharge, corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), near visual acuity (VA) at 25, 40 and 80 cm, visual quality and th...

purpose: to report a case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, and retinitis [irvan] with angiographic and optical coherence tomography (oct) findings. case report: a 15-year-old girl with a 2 -month history of decreased visual acuity in both eyes and best corrected visual acuity of 20/70 in both eyes was referred to the retina clinic. mild inflammation was present in anterior chamber an...

Aim: To offer a critique of current methods of defining amblyopia treatment outcome and to examine alternative approaches. Method: Literature appraisal and descriptive case presentations. Results: Currently, the outcome of amblyopia treatment is expressed as the number of acuity chart lines gained or, alternatively, achievement of an arbitrarily adopted level of visual acuity. As binocular visi...

Campbell-Orr, H. (I954). Trans. Ophthal. Soc. U.K., 74, 367. Paris v. Stepney Borough Council (I95I). I. All E.R. 42. The answer to the second question is increasingly likely to be 'yes' towards each end of the scale. Loss of binocular visual acuity is a greater loss in a man with poor eyesight because visual acuity falls from a higher level using both eyes to a lower level using one, even thou...

PURPOSE To measure retinal nervous fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using OCT3 (Carl-Zeiss) in patients with diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) with or without live worm and correlate it with visual acuity. METHODS RNFL thickness, using RNFL thickness 3.4 program and best corrected visual acuity were measured in patients with DUSN between January 2005 and December 2006. RESULTS T...

background: adverse effect of sun rays mainly uv ray on the human eye documented and protection of eyes is necessary using different methods such as, sun glasses. sunglasses are designed in different colors. the aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of different colors of sunglasses on the visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis and color vision. methods: 81 normal subjects wer...

BACKGROUND Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) allows selective replacement of the endothelium. Post-operative haze and particles can affect the interface quality and, ultimately, visual outcome. In this study, we evaluated DSAEK interface with in vivo laser confocal microscopy (LCM) in order to: (i) correlate interface status with best corrected visual acuity, and (ii...

Recent reports have described marked improvement of visual acuity in amblyopic eyes of young children following monocular exposure to square-wave gratings presented at a variety of spatial frequencies and orientations for as little as 7 minutes. We sought to confirm and expand on these investigations, with emphasis on single-session results. Sixteen juvenile and 11 adult amblyopes and 26 contro...
