Purpose To evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness changes in cases with recurrent polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) after combination therapy with intravitreal ranibizumab and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Design Retrospective observational case series…
Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of intereye and intraeye differences in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and macular thickness for identifying early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Design Prospective,…
Purpose To determine how evaluations of macular structures on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography compare with those of the optic disc and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in discriminating between…
In the 1930s Phillips Thygeson and his associates were performing experiments to prove that the elementary bodies from the Halberstaedter-Prowazek inclusions were the infectious agent of trachoma. Using epithelium scraped…
Purpose To evaluate the effect of intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections on submacular hemorrhage secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Design Retrospective, interventional case series. Methods Twenty-seven eyes from…
Purpose To compare interferon (IFN) beta with methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of intermediate uveitis with macular edema. Design Monocentric, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Methods setting : Specialized uveitis…
Purpose To compare visual acuity and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) outcomes associated with intravitreal (IV) bevacizumab vs IV ranibizumab for the management of diabetic macular edema (DME). Design Prospective…
Purpose To describe a cohort of patients with Stargardt disease who show a foveal-sparing phenotype. Design Retrospective case series. Methods The foveal-sparing phenotype was defined as foveal preservation on autofluorescence…
Purpose To evaluate the risk, risk factors, and visual impact of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in uveitis cases. Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Standardized medical record review at 5 tertiary centers….
Purpose To compare the keratometric (K) readings from the Pentacam-HR (High Resolution) unit with the automated K values from the IOLMaster keratometer (K IOLM ), and to evaluate them in…
