BACKGROUND We evaluated the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab on diabetic macular edema with subfoveal and perifoveal hard exudates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven eyes (11 patients) exhibiting diabetic macular edema with subfoveal and perifoveal hard exudates were included in this prospective, nonrandomized interventional pilot study. All patients were treated with monthly scheduled intravi...

PURPOSE To investigate macular thickness and visual acuity changes after 1 intravitreal injection of 0.5-mg ranibizumab during phacoemulsification cataract surgery in eyes with diabetic macular edema refractory to laser treatment. METHODS Eleven eyes of 11 patients with diabetic macular edema refractory to modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study laser therapy received intravitreal...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of cataract surgery using novel diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in Koreans. METHODS This was a retrospective, consecutive, interventional study of cataract surgery using POD FineVision IOL implantation. Complete ophthalmologic examinations were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. Defocus curves were assessed over a range of +1...

METHODS: This prospective non-comparative interventional case series comprised eight eyes of eight patients with high residual astigmatism after keratoplasty, who had Keraring® ICRS implantation aided by femtosecond laser (FL). We evaluated uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive astigmatism and corneal maximum (Kmax) and minimum curvature (Kmin) at one...

Methods: Retrospective chart review of residentperformed phacoemulsification cases at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Decatur, Georgia, from July 1, 1999, through June 30, 2002. Outcomes measured included postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), intraoperative complications, and adjusted phacoemulsification times (total phacoem...

Results: There was statistically significant improvement in macular thickness and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) but improvement in macular sensitivity was not significant. There was significant positive correlation between baseline visual acuity (VA) ≤ 3/60 and change in VA. No significant correlation between improvement in macular thickness and change in macular sensitivity. No significa...

purpose : to evaluate the near visual performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (iol) tetraflex, in comparison to a standard monofocal foldable iol in cataract surgery. setting: eye research center , farabi eye hospital , department of ophthalmology, tehran university of medical sciences, iran . methods : forty six eyes of 23 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification and accom...

Here, we report the case of a patient who sustained Nd: YAG laser macular injury with subsequent 6 year follow-up evaluation. A 23-year-old female was accidentally exposed to a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser without protective goggles. Upon initial evaluation, the best-corrected visual acuity of her affected eye was 20/100 OD. Fundoscopic examination revealed a macular laser burn and vitreous hemorrh...

METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent toric iris-fi xated pIOL (Artifl ex® and Artisan®) implantation in Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Central between 2009 and 2013. Th e main parameters evaluated were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), manifest refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), central endothelial cell count (ECC) and complicat...

PURPOSE To report a case of retinal capillary hemangioma treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy combined with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. METHODS A 15-year-old female presented with metamorphopsia in the left eye for 7 days. Examination showed peripheral endophytic retinal capillary hemangioma, macular edema, and a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/50. The hemangioma and mac...
