Multifocal electroretinography in amblyopia.

Purpose: To identify whether there are functional abnormalities in the retina of amblyopic eyes using multifocal electroretinography (mfERG).

Methods: This is a prospective study of patients ≥ 7 years of age identified with unilateral amblyopia (strabismic or anisometropic). Multifocal ERG and flash ERG were performed to compare parameters between the amblyopic and non-amblyopic fellow eyes.

Extensive circumferential partial-thickness sclerectomy in eyes with extreme nanophthalmos and spontaneous uveal effusion.

Aim: To describe an extensive scleral excision technique to treat uveal effusion in nanophthalmic eyes.

Methods: This prospective, interventional series of eight eyes of five consecutive patients with nanophthalmos underwent scleral window surgeries. Ninety per cent of the scleral thickness, extending from immediately behind the extraocular muscle insertions to the vortex veins for 3 and 1/4 quadrants, was removed.

Three-month outcome of ziv-aflibercept for exudative age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: In vitro and in vivo studies did not detect toxicity to the retinal pigment epithelium cells using intravitreal ziv-aflibercept. Our purpose is to ascertain the 3-month safety and efficacy in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with intravitreal ziv-aflibercept.

Methods: Prospectively, consecutive patients with wet AMD underwent ziv-aflibercept intravitreal injection (1.
