Advanced Imaging for Glaucoma Study: Design, Baseline Characteristics, and Inter-site Comparison
Purpose To report the baseline characteristics of the participants in the Advanced Imaging for Glaucoma Study. To compare the participating sites for variations among subjects and the performance of imaging…
Long-Term Increase in Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness After Surgery for Senile Cataracts
We read with great interest the original article by Noda and associates regarding the long-term increase in subfoveal choroidal thickness after surgery for senile cataracts. In this study, the authors…
Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Epithelial and Flap Thickness Mapping in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis
I was fascinated to consider the ramifications of the data brought forth by Drs Rocha and Krueger in August 2014’s American Journal of Ophthalmology . The idea of eyelid positioning…
Management of Thick Submacular Hemorrhage With Subretinal Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Pneumatic Displacement for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
We read with great interest the recent article by Chang and associates. The authors concluded that vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen (t-PA) injection and gas tamponade was found to be…
Optical Density Ratio in the Subretinal Fluid: Differentiating Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Polypodial Choroidal Vasculopathy
Purpose To investigate the differences in the optical density ratios between chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) obtained from subretinal fluid (SRF) analyses to identify the…
Short-Term Enhancement of Visual Field Sensitivity in Glaucomatous Eyes Following Surgical Intraocular Pressure Reduction
Purpose To examine the hypothesis that surgical intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction leads to enhancement of visual field (VF) sensitivity in glaucomatous eyes. Design Prospective case-control study. Methods Patients with uncontrolled…
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate as Baseline Predictor for the Development of Uveitis in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Purpose To analyze inflammatory parameters as possible predictors for the development of uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. Further, to analyze the predictive value of demographic and clinical factors…
