Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical displacement of macular hemorrhages complicating exsudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after vitrectomy, subretinal rtPA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) injection, intravitreal bevacizumab injection and gaz tamponade.
Methods: Retrospective case series, including 26 patients with submacular hemorrhage, who underwent a surgical displacement within 15 days after the onset of symptoms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was carried out to measure the diameter of the hemorrhage and to specify the relation with retinal pigment epithelium.
Introduction: Macular subretinal hematoma is a complication of age related macular degeneration (AMD) responsible for a severe change in vision. We evaluated anatomic and functional results of surgical treatment of hematoma by vitrectomy, subretinal injection of r-tPA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator), intravitreal bevacizumab injection and air tamponade.
Methods: Retrospective case series including 26 patients with submacular hemorrhage who underwent vitrectomy within 15 days after the onset of symptoms.
Purpose: To evaluate and compare visibility and depth of the stromal demarcation line (DL) created after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) between 2 groups: CXL with isoosmolar and hypoosmolar riboflavin.
Methods: In this retrospective study performed at Metz-Thionville Regional Hospital, consecutive patients with progressive keratoconus underwent CXL using an accelerated protocol (10 min, 9 mW/cm ultraviolet-A). AS-OCT (RS-3000, Nidek) was performed at 1 month after surgery, with stromal DL visibility graded.
Purpose: To compare the impact of two phacoemulsification techniques (subluxation versus divide-and-conquer) on postoperative corneal edema at postoperative hour 1 and day 4.
Design: Comparative study.
Method: Ninety-six consecutive patients (110 eyes; 43 men and 53 women, mean age 70.
