This reports the preliminary outcome of a transpalpebral electrical retinal stimulation therapy for age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).Twenty-one patients consisting of 16 with wet-type (Group-W) and 5 with dry-type (Group-D) ARMD with a mean age of 73.9 ± 9.5 years (range 51 to 85 years) were recruited for this study. Transpalpebral electrical retinal stimulation (20 minutes, 800 muA) was...

PURPOSE To evaluate the diode laser photodynamic therapy efficacy on choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the treatment of three patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). METHODS The authors selected three patients with ARMD whose vision has decreased due to CNV, and applied diode laser treatment after injecting an indocyanine green (ICG) solution. The patients were followed for...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging of any tissue we can analyze with a light source [1], OCT became the gold standard for retinal disease during the last decade and take the most important place in multimodal exploration in retinal diseases. Time domain OCT (TD OCT) first, spectral domain OCT (SD OCT) and swept source OCT (SS OCT) now, are the best friends for the retinal daily pr...

purpose: to determine the prevalence and determinants of age-related macular degeneration (amd) in a 40-64 year old iranian populationmethods: in a cross-sectional study, 6,311 people were randomly selected from shahroud. for all participants, visual acuity, refraction, slit-lamp examination and fundus photography were conducted under pupil dilation. results: results of this study are based on ...

background: cells have complex network of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells from induced damages by reactive oxygen species (ros). catalase and superoxide dismutase are known for their role as primary protection against oxidative stress. oxidative damage is an important risk factor in age-related macular degeneration disease (amd). for the first time in this study the impact of genetic pol...

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of aflibercept on sub-foveal choroidal neovascularization due to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). Methods: Fifteen patients (15 eyes) with sub-foveal choroidal neovascularization due to ARMD were treated with intravitreal aflibercept. The doses were monthly for the first three months, being repeated every three months after for one year...

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a multiple etiology disease in which a broad range of genes and proteins play significant roles.1 Wet or exudative ARMD, also known as neovascular ARMD, is the type which causes most loss of vision. Neovascularization is an active and inflammatory condition (cytokins, growth factors and inflammatory cells) in which the initial stage could be the intera...
