Improvement of visual acuity based on optical coherence tomography patterns following intravitreal bevacizumab treatment in patients with diabetic macular edema.

Aim: To report the visual outcome based on various patterns of optical coherence tomography (OCT) morphology in diabetic macular edema (DME), following treatment with anti-VEGF intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection.

Methods: Sixty-seven consecutive subjects with centre involving DME underwent intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.

Infliximab therapy for idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, and neuroretinitis syndrome.

Purpose: We report our experience in treating 2 patients of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome with antitumor necrosis factor agent, infliximab, who showed a very favorable response to treatment.

Methods: Two patients with clinical diagnosis of IRVAN syndrome were included in the study. The visual acuity was affected due to ocular inflammation and presence of macular edema due to exudation around the optic nerve.

Role of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) injected at the end of diabetic vitrectomy in preventing postoperative recurrent vitreous hemorrhage.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of bevacizumab (Avastin), an antivascular endothelial growth factor agent, injected at the end of surgery for preventing postoperative recurrent vitreous hemorrhage in patients undergoing vitrectomy for diabetic eye disease.

Methods: This was a retrospective, comparative, and nonrandomized study on a consecutive series of patients who underwent vitrectomy for diabetic eye disease. Recurrence of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage was compared in patients with and without intravitreal 1.

Pediatric retinal detachment in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia: experience of a tertiary care hospital.
