PURPOSE To evaluate macular thickening, the state of the optic disc and retinal nerve fibers layer (RFNL) in patients with an actual episode of acute anterior uvetis (AAU) by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and compare them with a control group. METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectional, observational and controlled study we recruited 27 consecutive eyes of 20 patients with an actual e...

PURPOSE To compare change of macular thickness after uneventful cataract surgery and after cataract surgery complicated with vitreous loss, using optic coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent cataract surgery complicated with posterior capsular tear participated in this retrospective study (Group 2). The fellow eyes of those patients who underwent uneventf...

PURPOSE Diabetic macular edema can be refractory to multiple treatment modalities. Although there have been anecdotal reports of ranibizumab showing efficacy when other modalities provided limited benefit, little has been published on treatment for refractory diabetic macular edema. This study sought to investigate this observation further. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Thirty...

Purpose To evaluate a manual region-of-interest (ROI) approach for detecting progressive macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. Methods One hundred forty-six eyes with a clinical diagnosis of glaucoma or suspected glaucoma with macular OCT scans obtained at least 1 year apart were evaluated. Changes in the GCC thickness were identified using...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations between aqueous concentrations of interleukin 1β, 6, 8, 10, 12p (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and the parameters of macular edema acquired by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with choroidal neovascularization. METHODS IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p, and TNF-α in the aqueous humor samples of 17 ...

Full thickness macular hole is an eye disease, which can cause permanent visual impairment. Current advancement in vitreoretinal surgery has high success rates in repairing them, leading to a significant visual improvement, especially if patient presents early. In this article, three cases of idiopathic full thickness macular hole with different visual outcomes have been presented. All cases we...

An 18-year-old woman complaining of visual disturbance in her left eye was referred to our hospital. The bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the left eye was 0.6. Fundus examination revealed tortuous retinal veins and macular edema with stellate figure. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed that the macular thickness was increased to 539 μm. In addition, hyper-reflective substances were d...
