Aims: To compare the vascular density (VD) of the macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris (CC), and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) among high hyperopic, high myopic, and emmetropic children using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: This was a cross sectional comparative study of otherwise healthy children with different refractive errors. Patients were recruited from Cairo University Children's Hospital.
Purpose: To evaluate the corneal epithelial thickness by anterior segment OCT in children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) compared to normal participants.
Patient And Methods: A cross-sectional case control observational study was conducted on children aged from 5 to 18 years with VKC. The study included 142 eyes divided into two groups: 71 eyes of VKC group and 71 eyes of age matched control group.
Purpose: To evaluate anatomic and functional outcomes of patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with scleral buckling versus PPV with inferior retinectomy for treatment of cases of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and inferior retinal breaks.
Methods: Retrospective, comparative, interventional, single-center study. Fifty-one eyes of fifty-one patients with primary RRD associated with inferior breaks and PVR grade C1 or more were reviewed over 3 years.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of topical nepafenac eye drops in reducing macular edema after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
- Sixty patients were divided into two groups: one received nepafenac drops, while the other received a control treatment, with results tracked over 6 months.
- The results showed that the nepafenac group had significantly better visual acuity and less central foveal thickness increase compared to the control group, indicating that nepafenac is beneficial for maintaining vision post-PRP.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of lens status on intraocular pressure (IOP) in siliconized eyes and also on the emulsification of silicone oil.
Patients And Methods: A total of 31 eyes of 31 patients with retinal detachment were operated on with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection: 16 phakic (Group A) and 15 pseudophakic (Group B). During the 6-month follow-up period, IOP was measured: 1 day postoperative, then at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months postoperative.
