Comparisons of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness changes after macular hole surgery.

Purpose: To compare postoperative changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with macular holes treated with vitrectomy with Brilliant Blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling.

Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 20 patients with macular holes were studied. Each eye was selected to undergo Brilliant Blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling.

Macular edema associated with gyrate atrophy managed with intravitreal triamcinolone: a case report.

Purpose: To describe the use of 4 mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) for gyrate atrophy-related macular edema (ME) and to report anatomic and functional outcomes, during a nine-month period.

Case Report: A 27-year-old female complained of decreased vision since diagnosis of gyrate athrophy (GA), six years before admission. At presentation visual acuity was 20/100 in OD and 20/80 in OS.

[Clinical characteristics and incidence of infectious and non-infectious endophthalmitis after intravitreous injection of triamcinolone acetonide].

Purpose: To report the incidence of infectious and noninfectious endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of 4 mg of triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog - 40 mg/ml; 0.1 ml) and to evaluate distinguishing characteristics that may assist the clinician in differentiating these entities.

Design: Observational nonconcurrent prospective study.

Angiographic effects of indocyanine green photobleaching by the diode laser.

Background And Objective: To investigate the cause of hypofluorescent spots detected by indocyanine green (ICG) videoangiography in areas subjected to ICG-enhanced transpupillary thermotherapy in pigmented rabbits.

Materials And Methods: In 6 eyes, two similar areas were treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. A standard dose of ICG (0.

Transpupillary thermotherapy alone and enhanced by standard doses of indocyanine green in pigmented rabbits.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the chorioretinal effects of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) and TTT enhanced by standard doses of indocyanine green (ICG) in pigmented rabbits.

Materials And Methods: In 25 eyes, two retinal areas were irradiated using identical subthreshold diode laser irradiation. The subthreshold diode laser irradiation level was first determined using the other eye.

Choroidal neovascularization after accidental macular damage by laser.

A 30-year-old male physics professor was examined 2 months after being accidentally hit by a laser beam in his left eye. He complained of abrupt vision loss and central scotoma after the laser accident,with stabilization of the vision thereafter. At presentation, he presented best-corrected visual acuity of 6/18 in the left eye.
