purpose : to describe the macular thickness map of iranian adult with normal retinal status as measured by cirrus’ optical coherence tomography (oct) instrument methods : in this cross-sectional study, one eye of subjects with normal ocular examination and retinal status of at least one eye were recruited. the 512×128-scan pattern and scan area of 6×6 mm2 with software version 4 protocol in cir...

purpose: to evaluate the influence of different confounding factors on the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection for refractory diabetic macular edema. methods: in a prospective placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, 88 eyes with refractory diabetic macular edema were randomly assigned into two groups including 45 in the treatment group (4 mg intravitreal triamcinolone...

purpose: to measure macular thickness in normal subjects with respect to age and gender using cirrus hd-oct in rasht city. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 112 normal subjects were randomly selected. both eyes of each subject were included and all subjects underwent complete eye examinations. macular thickness map protocol with macular cube 512×128 was selected, and the average thickness...

purpose: one of the major causes of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients is diabetic macular edema (dme). best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness changes are considered as two main outcomes in diabetic macular patients. the goal of this study was to compare the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab injection alone or combined with triamcinolone versus macular photocoagulation...

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the improvements of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) treated with topical dorzolamide. These observational case studies included nine eyes of the nine patients with CSC, treated by a physician with topical dorzolamide consecutively over a one-month period. The central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured...

Background: Retinal vein occlusions are one of the most common form of retinal vascular disorders and could lead to vision loss due to macular edema, macular ischemia and sequelae from neovascularization. Anti-venous endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment is the choice strategy of treatment for patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). There is an ...

Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...

we aimed determine normal macular thickness by using cirrus hd-oct in  rasht city, iran. in this cross-sectional survey, 112 were selected with random sampling. all subjects underwent complete eye examinations. both eyes of each patient were evaluated. optional protocol was macular thickness map with macular cub 512×128 and the average thickness of the retina was determined in 9 etdrs regions. ...

AIMS To evaluate the scanning retinal thickness analyser (RTA), a novel non-invasive imaging instrument, in diagnosing and quantitatively characterising diabetic macular oedema, and to investigate the relation between central macula thickness measured by RTA and other clinical examinations. METHODS Central macular thickness was measured using the RTA in 40 normal subjects and 60 patients with...

Introduction: Because of bilateral involvement in many cases with diabetic macular edema, Intravitreal bevacizumab injection perform in both eyes. There are some reports of therapeutic effects in the fellow eye after monocular injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. In this study we describe a case of bilateral improvement of diabetic macular edema following unil...
