Long-term Complications Associated with Glaucoma Drainage Devices and Boston Keratoprosthesis
We read with interest the article by Li and associates that comments on the incidence of tube erosion in eyes with a Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) and a glaucoma drainage device…
Viscocannula-Assisted Reinversion of Implantable Collamer Lens: Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes With the Fellow Eyes
In the recently published study by Kumar and associates, the authors compare the postoperative outcomes of eyes with accidental intraoperative inversion of implantable collamer lens (ICL) with fellow eyes with…
Enhanced Circulating Soluble LR11 in Patients With Diabetic Retinopathy
Purpose To investigate the relationship of circulating levels of soluble form of LR11 (sLR11; also called SorLA or SORL1), with the progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in patients with…
Improvement of Photoreceptor Integrity and Associated Visual Outcome in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose To evaluate the association between improvement of photoreceptor integrity and visual acuity (VA) after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design Retrospective, cross-sectional…
Photoreceptor Damage and Foveal Sensitivity in Surgically Closed Macular Holes: An Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy Study
Purpose To assess photoreceptor structure using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO SLO) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and to evaluate the relationship between structural abnormalities and foveal…
Retro-mode Imaging for Retinal Pigment Epithelium Alterations in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Purpose To propose a simple, noninvasive retro-mode imaging technique employing confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) as a novel imaging modality for the detection of alterations in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)…
Factors Associated With the Response of Age-Related Macular Degeneration to Intravitreal Ranibizumab Treatment
Purpose To investigate factors affecting patient response to intravitreal ranibizumab treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design Retrospective chart review. Methods We reviewed medical records of 105 consecutive eyes with…
Treatment of Serous Macular Detachment Associated With Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma
Purpose To evaluate the effects of transpupillary thermotherapy and intravitreal bevacizumab injection on serous macular detachment and cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. Design Retrospective, interventional case…
Progression of Retinal Pigment Epithelial Atrophy in Stargardt Disease
Purpose To evaluate retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) atrophy in patients with Stargardt disease using autofluorescence imaging (AF). Design Retrospective observational case series. Methods Demographics, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), AF images,…
