Purpose To determine the aqueous levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with type 3 neovascularization (NV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to compare the levels…
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of the pattern scan laser (PASCAL) in treating newly diagnosed high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Design Retrospective comparative case series. Methods setting: Institutional. study population:…
Purpose To report and analyze long-term best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes following a free autologous retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid graft translocation in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design…
Purpose To evaluate the correlation between morphologic changes in the outer retina and visual function after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macula off. Design Observational case series. Methods…
Purpose To identify the major traction mechanisms that cause myopic traction maculopathy and to determine whether surgery can be tailored successfully to the specific mechanism involved. Design Nonrandomized, retrospective, interventional…
Purpose To determine whether a recovery of the microstructures of the foveal photoreceptors after macular hole closure is correlated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Design Retrospective, consecutive, observational case series….
Purpose To evaluate the utility of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in prediction of visual outcomes after idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. Design Retrospective, observational case…
Purpose To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of congenital retinal folds without systemic associations. Design Retrospective observational case series. Methods The characteristics, clinical course, ocular complications, and best-corrected visual…
Purpose To understand the natural history of macular folds using serial spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Design Prospective case series. Method Serial OCTs were performed using Topcon 3D OCT. The…
Purpose To evaluate the 1-year efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Design Retrospective chart review. Methods We retrospectively…
