Polymorphisms in ARMS2( LOC387715) and LOXL1Genes in the Japanese With Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose To determine whether polymorphisms in the ARMS2 ( LOC387715 ) gene and the lysyl oxidase–like 1 ( LOXL1 ) gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Japanese…
Visual Outcomes of LASIK-Induced Monovision in Myopic Patients With Presbyopia
We read with great interest the report from Montserrat Garcia-Gonzalez and associates. Their results revealed that monovision is a valid option for myopic patients with presbyopia who are considering LASIK,…
The Maximal Tolerable Reduction in Hyperopic Correction in Patients With Refractive Accommodative Esotropia: A 6-Month Follow-up Study
Purpose To investigate the optimal amount of safe under-correction in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia. Design Prospective noncomparative interventional case series. Methods Patients with refractive accommodative esotropia wore trial glasses…
Intravitreal Ranibizumab for Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization: Factors Predictive of Visual Outcome and Need for Retreatment
Purpose To identify predictive factors for visual outcome and need for retreatment after treating myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) with ranibizumab. Design A prospective interventional case series. Methods Sixty-seven eyes of…
The Outcome of Early Surgical Repair With Vitrectomy and Silicone Oil in Open-Globe Injuries With Retinal Detachment
Purpose To determine the functional and anatomic outcome of early surgical repair with vitrectomy and silicone oil in open-globe injuries with retinal detachment (RD). Design Retrospective consecutive interventional case series….
Reporting Visual Acuities
The AJO encourages authors to report the visual acuity in the manuscript using the same nomenclature that was used in gathering the data provided they were recorded in one of…
Interocular Symmetry in Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measured With the Cirrus HD-OCT in Healthy Eyes
Purpose To determine the cutoffs for the interocular difference in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured with Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc) in normal eyes. Design Observational, clinical…
Hemispherical Focal Macular Photopic Negative Response and Macular Inner Retinal Thickness in Open-Angle Glaucoma
Purpose To investigate in open-angle glaucoma the focal macular photopic negative response and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography measurements of retinal thicknesses in the superior and inferior macula. Design Comparative case…
