[Extemporaneous withdrawal with a mini-spike filter: A low infection risk technique for drawing up bevacizumab for intravitreal injection].

Purpose: To describe a technique for extemporaneously drawing up bevacizumab for intravitreal injection (IVT) and report the rate of post-injection endophthtalmitis.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective monocentric analysis (January 2010-December 2014) of all IVT of bevacizumab drawn up with the following technique: in the operating room (class ISO 7) through a mini-spike with an integrated bacteria retentive air filter. The surgeon was wearing sterile gloves and a mask.

[Radial optic neurotomy for severe central retinal vein occlusion: preliminary results].

Purpose: To describe the results of radial optic neurotomy for the treatment of severe central retinal vein occlusion.

Patients And Methods: Prospective noncomparative single-center study. Analysis of ten eyes of ten consecutive patients whose visual acuity was 0.

[Efficiency of surgical treatment for chronic macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion].

Introduction: Internal limiting membrane peeling has recently given interesting results in the management of macular edema in diabetic patients, even in the absence of vitreomacular tractions. This study was conducted to evaluate the results of a surgical treatment for macular edema resulting from branch retinal vein occlusion.

Material And Methods: A nonrandomized prospective study was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002 on 12 eyes of 12 consecutive patients with a visual acuity of 20/40 or less resulting from branch retinal vein occlusion with macular edema.
