Parallelism as a Novel Marker for Structural Integrity of Retinal Layers in Optical Coherence Tomographic Images in Eyes With Epiretinal Membrane
Purpose To propose a new parameter, “Parallelism,” to evaluate retinal layer integrity on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT), and to investigate the association between parallelism and visual function in eyes…
Ophthalmic Randomized Controlled Trials Reports: The Statement of the Hypothesis
Purpose To evaluate whether the ophthalmic randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were designed properly, their hypotheses stated clearly, and their conclusions drawn correctly. Design A systematic review of 206 ophthalmic RCTs….

Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Symptomatic Retinal Arterial Macroaneurysm
I offer the following observations regarding the recent study by Cho and associates. Intravitreal bevacizumab for exudative complications of retinal artery macroaneurysm was first reported in 2009. Since then, there…
Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravitreal Ranibizumab Versus Standard Grid Laser for Macular Edema Following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
Purpose To assess the efficacy of intravitreal 0.5 mg ranibizumab for the treatment of center-involving macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) over 1 year compared with standard-of-care grid…
The Stability of the Monofixation Syndrome
Purpose To determine etiology, characteristics, and stability of the monofixation syndrome (MFS) in a chart review of 63 consecutive patients in a private practice of pediatric ophthalmology. Design Retrospective, consecutive…
Metamorphopsia and Optical Coherence Tomography Findings After Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Surgery
Purpose To investigate the relationship between metamorphopsia and macular morphologic changes after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). Design Prospective, interventional, consecutive study. Methods The study included 129 eyes…
The Pattern and Distribution of Retinal Breaks in Eyes With Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Purpose To identify which presenting features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) suggest the presence of multiple retinal breaks and to ascertain relevant patterns in retinal break location. Design Observational single-center…
