Clinical efficacy of combined topical 0.05% cyclosporine A and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate in the dry eyes with meibomian gland dysfunction.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of combined topical 0.05% cyclosporine A (CsA; Restasis, Allergan pharmaceuticals, USA) and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate treatment in dry eyes with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Comparison of scleral buckling and vitrectomy using wide angle viewing system for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in patients older than 35 years.

Background: To compare scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using a wide angle viewing system (WAVS) for uncomplicated phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: The medical records of patients with uncomplicated phakic RRD were retrospectively reviewed. Eyes with pseudophakic or attached fovea were excluded.

Analysis of the ganglion cell layer and photoreceptor layer using optical coherence tomography after idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation of visual acuity with the ganglion cell layer and the photoreceptor layer using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography after surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Methods: The medical records of 58 eyes were reviewed retrospectively to collect data on visual acuity (VA), ganglion cell complex thickness (GT) and photoreceptor reflectivity (PR) at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. The GT was adjusted to compensate for tractional thickening by calculating the proportional thickness to the macular thickness (MT).
