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...

MAIN OUTCOMES ANDMEASURES Development of central-involvedME defined as the following: (1) OCT central subfield thickness of 250 μm or greater (time-domain OCT) or 310 μm or greater (spectral-domain OCT) with at least a 1-step increase in logOCT central subfield thickness preoperatively to the 16-week visit; (2) at least a 2-step increase in logOCT central subfield thickness preoperatively to th...

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...

PURPOSE Diabetic macular edema can be refractory to multiple treatment modalities. Although there have been anecdotal reports of ranibizumab showing efficacy when other modalities provided limited benefit, little has been published on treatment for refractory diabetic macular edema. This study sought to investigate this observation further. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Thirty...

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 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 choroidal thickness in patients with non-ocular Behçet's disease (BD) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare the results to normal eyes. METHODS In this retrospective observational comparative study, we collected OCT and clinical data from the charts of 4 patients (7 eyes) with BD who had been referred for a screening eye exam and had a ...

IMPORTANCE The incidence of development or worsening of macular edema (ME) is variable in eyes without diabetic ME (DME) undergoing cataract surgery. OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of central-involved ME 16 weeks following cataract surgery in eyes with diabetic retinopathy without definite central-involved DME preoperatively. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In a multicenter, prospect...

IMPORTANCE Intracameral injection of cefuroxime sodium (1 mg/0.1 mL) has been reported to reduce the risk of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery. In the United States it must be compounded, which is subject to dilution error. We describe a series of 13 eyes that received intracameral injection of cefuroxime sodium, 9 mg/0.1 mL, intraoperatively. OBSERVATIONS On postoperative day 1, 6 o...
