ABSTRACT This report aims to describe the effectiveness of a unilateral intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) used for treatment cystoid macular edema in patient with recurrent intermediate uveitis. Bearing mind adverse effects prolonged use systemic corticosteroids, objective here was provide less damaging form intervention, and also demonstrate safety patients who fail respond convent...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the macular volume in eyes with immune recovery uveitis (IRU) and to describe a new method to quantify macular edema with the use of confocal scanning laser tomography (cSLT). METHODS A prospective study was performed to assess the macular volume with cSLT in patients with and without IRU. None of the patients enrolled had cytomegalovirus retinitis within 3000 micro m o...

We read the article by Pelosini et al. with interest. This article concludes that the volume of residual retinal tissue between the outer and inner plexiform layers predicts 80% of the visual acuity in eyes with cystoid macular edema secondary to diabetes and uveitis. Recently, we and many other authors reported a correlation of visual acuity with the inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junctio...

Anecdotal case reports describe the occurrence of cystoid macular edema, iritis, herpes simplex keratitis, periocular skin darkening, and headaches in patients treated with prostaglandin analogs for glaucoma. The purpose of this article is to critically analyze these anecdotal case reports in light of a few well-controlled, randomized clinical studies to determine whether conclusions can be mad...

OBJECTIVE To describe a syndrome of posterior segment intraocular inflammation that causes visual loss in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and cytomegalovirus retinitis. This syndrome was associated with immune recovery mediated by combination antiretroviral treatment including protease inhibitors. DESIGN A case-control study at 2 university medical centers. PARTICIPANTS One...

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 In patients with diabetic macular edema and cysts, quantification of the extent of the cystoid formation has been difficult. This study was performed to introduce reliable measurements of cysts, the quantification of the extent, and its relation to visual acuity. METHODS Fluorescein angiography generated with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope provided detailed recognition not only of th...
