Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze cytokine levels in the tear fluid of patients undergoing multiple intravitreal injections (IVI) of anti-VEGF for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
- Researchers measured the levels of six cytokines in the tears of treated and untreated eyes of patients, using a specific assay technique, at least four weeks after receiving an injection.
- Results showed that levels of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-γ and TNF, were lower in the injected eyes compared to the untreated eyes, supporting the notion that serial IVI treatment correlates with reduced inflammation and improved tear film health.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of serial intravitreal injections (IVIs) on the ocular surface and meibomian glands (MGs) in patients treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Design: Retrospective, controlled, observational study.
Participants: Patients with nAMD receiving unilateral IVIs with anti-VEGF agents.
Purpose: To compare pathology detection using multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy with color fundus photography following macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Methods: Postsurgery multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and color fundus photography images from 30 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients were examined by 10 masked graders. Imaging was performed with the Heidelberg Spectralis HRA and the digital retinal camera Basler acA2500-14gc GigE.
Purpose: To review the incidence, aetiology and outcomes of endophthalmitis during a 20-year period in a Norwegian university hospital.
Methods: Single-centre retrospective review. Medical records of all patients admitted to Stavanger University Hospital with suspected endophthalmitis between January 1999 and December 2018 were reviewed.
Purpose: To investigate the association of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (DPED) volume and change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) during the growth phase of large DPEDs.
Methods: Patients from an ongoing prospective observational study, the Norwegian Pigment Epithelial Detachment Study (NORPED), with 1 year of follow-up and DPEDs ≥1000 µm in diameter, examined with the Heidelberg Spectralis HRA-OCT were included. Patients with DPEDs in the regression phase were excluded.
