BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography has focused mainly on central subfield thickness to quantify macular edema in central and branch retinal vein occlusion. We examined macular fields other than the central subfield to determine if they are possibly independent indicators of recurrent macular edema. METHODS Single center, retrospective, consecutive case study of patients with recurrent ma...

The aim of this study was to evaluate macular thickness parameters in glaucoma patients and to compare them to normal subjects using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This prospective, observational study included 20 primary open angle glaucoma patients (POAG) and 20 healthy subjects in control group. Exclusion criteria were diabetes and other macular pathology, like age-related macular degen...

purpose: to evaluate the rate of optical coherence tomography (oct) grid decentration in a routine practice and its effect on thickness measurements methods: topcon spectral domain oct scans from various macular diseases including age related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, macular pucker and central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr) were studied in all patients visited during seven...

Background: Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) is one of the most common and sight threatening complications of uveitis. Intravitreal injection of corticosteroids and anti-VEGF antibody are two routine options for treatment. Objective: To compare the effects of intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab and Triamcinolone Acetonide for the treatment of persistent macular edema in non-infectious uveitis. Me...

purpose: to assess the effectiveness of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide on macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (brvo). design: a prospective noncomparative interventional case series. patients & methods: fourteen eyes of 14 patients with macular edema associated with brvo were enrolled. in all patients after thorough ophthalmic examination, 4 mg triamci...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to characterize central macular thickness and retinal volume following intravitreal injections using time domain and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT and SD-OCT, respectively). METHODS Nine patients with macular edema secondary to diabetes or retinal vein occlusion treated with intravitreal triamcinolone 4.0 mg and/or bevacizumab 1....

AIM To compare the difference of retinal macular thickness and macular volume using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with the normal subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS This observational case control study included primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients (n = 124 eyes) and healthy subjects in the control group (n = 124 eyes). All subjects unde...

purpose: to determine if intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide is safe and effective in the treatment of diabetic macular edema unresponsive to prior laser photocoagulation. methods: fifty-four eyes of 38 patients with clinically significant macular edema which had received at least two sessions of laser photocoagulation according to early treatment diabetic retinopathy study guidel...
