Evaluation of New and Established Age-Related Macular Degeneration Susceptibility Genes in the Women’s Health Initiative Sight Exam (WHI-SE) Study
Purpose To assess whether established and newly reported genetic variants, independent of known lifestyle factors, are associated with the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among women participating in the…
Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Ocular and Nasal Flora in Patients Undergoing Intravitreal Injections
Purpose To identify the resistance profiles of conjunctival and nasal bacterial isolates in patients undergoing intravitreal injections and to determine if frequent exposures to topical fluoroquinolones increased antimicrobial resistance among…
The Association between Glaucomatous and Other Causes of Optic Neuropathy and Sleep Apnea
Purpose To determine whether an association exists between sleep apnea and open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), papilledema, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and whether treatment with…
Lamellar Keratoplasty and Keratolimbal Allograft for Mustard Gas Keratitis
Purpose To report the clinical outcomes of lamellar keratoplasty (LKP) in patients with delayed-onset mustard gas keratitis and to compare visual acuity and graft survival rates between subgroups with simultaneous…
A Video Study of Drop Instillation in Both Glaucoma and Retina Patients with Visual Impairment
Purpose To compare self-administration of drops in both visually impaired glaucoma subjects and retina subjects. Design Prospective, observational study. Methods Setting: Distinct glaucoma and retina practices. Study Population: Subjects with…
Graft Thickness, Graft Folds, and Aberrations After Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty for Fuchs Dystrophy
Purpose To determine whole-eye high-order aberrations (HOAs) in pseudophakic eyes after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) for Fuchs dystrophy, and to establish relationships between graft thickness, HOAs, and visual acuity….
Prophylactic Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in the Prevention of Intraocular Pressure Elevation After Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection
Purpose To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty for preventing an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection. Design Prospective, comparative, interventional case series. Methods…
The Effect of Iris-Fixated Foldable Phakic Intraocular Lenses on Retinal Straylight
Purpose To determine changes in straylight after iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation (pIOL) and to investigate the relationship between straylight and several preoperative and postoperative variables. Design Institutional, prospective cross-sectional…
