objective(s): we aimed to characterize the phenotype and genotype of bacillus spp isolated from diabetic patients’ eyes, by studying the drug sensitivity patterns with a disc-diffusion method. materials and methods: fifty eyes of 25 patients with type ii diabetes mellitus, with at least 10 years of diabetes history, were included in the study. we analyzed the eyes for the presence of bacillus s...

due to the importance of clinically significant macular edema in diabetic patients, this study is aimed to determine if laser photocoagulation is effective in the treatment of clinically significant diabetic macular edema. in addition, the effects of risk factors arc surveyed* this is an existing data study considering patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema, treated with ar...

PURPOSE To analyze the vitreoretinal interface in diabetic eyes using 3-dimensional wide-field volumes acquired using high-speed, long-wavelength swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT). DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study. METHODS Fifty-six diabetic patients (88 eyes) and 11 healthy nondiabetic controls (22 eyes) were recruited. Up to 8 SSOCT volumes were acquired for each e...

Objective To investigate the manifestation characteristics of fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) and its values in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy through comparing direct ophthalmoscopy. Methods Two hundred fifty patients (500 eyes) who were suspected as diabetic retinopathy and admitted to the hospital between February 2015 and December 2016 were selected. They underwent direct ophthalmo...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: to investigate the reasons for p ostvitrectomy diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (pdvh), and to analyze the time of pdvh onset, the treatment of pdvh, the visual outcome of the treatment, and factors that affect visual acuity after treatment. materials and methods: overall, 292 eyes from 236 patients with proliferat...

purpose : to investigate the discriminative ability of contrast sensitivity (cs), color vision and best corrected visual acuity (bcva) in detecting functional losses in diabetic participants with and without retinopathy methods : in this cross sectional study we examined 105 patients in khatam-al-anbia eye hospital of mashhad university of medical sciences including 70 diabetic patients (35 wit...

Purpose We used fractal dimensional analysis to analyze retinal vascular disease burden in eyes with diabetic retinopathy using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods A retrospective study was performed of 13 eyes with diabetic retinopathy without diabetic macular edema and 56 control eyes. Optical coherence tomography angiography images were acquired using t...

The course of cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was prospectively studied in 44 eyes of 44 consecutive diabetic patients without preoperative CMO. In 50% of eyes CMO was observed 6 weeks after surgery and in 25% was still present at 1 year. The preoperative presence of diabetic retinopathy significantly ...

PURPOSE To evaluate choroidal thickness in diabetes patients using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS We examined 203 eyes of 203 diabetic participants and 48 eyes of 48 healthy controls. The choroidal thickness at the foveal lesion was measured by enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography. The participants were grouped according to diabetic retinopathy grade: no ...

The course of diabetic retinopathy following extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in eyes previously treated by laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy was retrospectively studied in 33 eyes (33 patients). In 20 eyes (61%) there was no change in the retinal status postoperatively. In 13 (39%) there was postoperative progression of diabetic retinopat...
