PURPOSE To identify individual retinal layer thickness changes associated with visual acuity gain in diabetic macular edema treated with ranibizumab using layer segmentation on high-resolution optical coherence tomography scans. METHODS Retrospective observational case series. Thirty-three treatment-naive eyes with diabetic macular edema were imaged by spectral domain optical coherence tomogr...

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...

Introduction: We report the case of a patient in whom simultaneous toric phakic intraocular lens removal and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation were beneficial for reducing pre-existing astigmatism and acquiring good visual outcomes in eyes with implantable collamer lens-induced cataract and astigmatism. Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman had undergone toric implan...

PURPOSE To determine the amount and time course of binocular visual acuity improvement during treatment of bilateral refractive amblyopia in children three to less than 10 years of age. DESIGN Prospective, multicenter, noncomparative intervention. METHODS One hundred and thirteen children (mean age, 5.1 years) with previously untreated bilateral refractive amblyopia were enrolled at 27 comm...

PURPOSE To evaluate the distance, intermediate and near visual acuity of patients with bilateral cataract operated on both eyes corrected for distance in one eye and for near in the fellow eye, as well as, their stereo acuity and their general satisfaction. SETTINGS Hospital de Olhos de São Paulo and Complexo Hospitalar Padre Bento - Guarulhos - São Paulo - Brazil. METHODS This is a prospec...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a patient in whom simultaneous toric phakic intraocular lens removal and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation were beneficial for reducing pre-existing astigmatism and acquiring good visual outcomes in eyes with implantable collamer lens-induced cataract and astigmatism.

purpose : to evaluate the toxic retinal effects of intravitreal bevacizumab used for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (amd) using ganzfeld electroretinography (g-erg) methods : in this prospective comparative interventional study, 23 patients with active choroidal neovascularization (cnv) associated with amd were enrolled. patients were received intravitreal injection...

PURPOSE To evaluate visual results, comfort of use, safety, and efficacy of mini scleral contact lenses in optical management in patients with traumatic aphakia and severe concomitant irido-corneal injury. METHODS In a case series, eight eyes with post traumatic aphakia and severe concomitant irido-corneal injury that were evaluated at the Contact Lens Clinic of Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, I...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction outcomes of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS This multicenter, prospective clinical study was conducted at seven study sites in Turkey. Patients who underwent bilateral cataract removal and implantation of a diffractive, acrylic, hydrophob...

ocular trauma is an important cause of ocular morbidity in children. at present only limited studies regarding distribution of ocular trauma exist in iran. this study was performed to define epidemiologic characteristics and clinical profile of ocular trauma in children and to discuss management and final outcomes of such injuries. the files of 60 patients aged 16 years or younger who had been ...
