Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of augmented trabeculotomy with Ologen versus perfluoropropane in management of pseudophakic glaucoma.
Methods: This is a comparative randomized study included 57 pseudophakic eyes of 57 patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma (OAG). Twenty-nine patients were allocated in group I (trabeculectomy with Ologen; trab-ologen group), while 28 patients were assigned in group II (trabeculectomy with perfluoropropane gas bubble; trab-C3F8 gas bubble group).
Purpose: Identifying earlier retinal thickness affection and predictability for diabetic retinal neurodegeneration (DRN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) without diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Patients And Methods: This is a comparative cross-sectional study. Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients with DM2 without any signs of DR and 38 eyes of 19 controls underwent retinal evaluation using optical coherence tomography.
Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of face up position (FUP) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil injection in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with multiple peripheral and inferior breaks.
Method: Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with RRD due to multiple peripheral breaks were managed with PPV and silicone oil as endotamponade. Postoperatively, all patients were instructed to assume face up (supine) position for at least 10 days.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of scleral encircling bands on the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in diabetic patients.
Methods: The medical records of diabetic patients who underwent unilateral retinal detachment (RD) surgery using scleral buckle and encircling band were reviewed retrospectively. Both eyes of patients were included in the study: one eye in each patient had a scleral buckle with encircling band (the operated eye) and the other one is the non-operated eye.
Aim: To categorize neovessels morphology and to detect response to anti-angiogenic therapy by using structural and angiographic modes of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Methods: Thirty-two eyes with neovessels at disc (NVD) and neovessels elsewhere (NVE) - as diagnosed by fluorescein angiography- were included. Cross sectional OCT images of disc and macular regions were registered to enface OCT angiography (OCTA), B-scan blood flow over lay and density maps.
Objectives: To study the fitting and the visual rehabilitation obtained with a corneoscleral contact lens, namely, Rose K2 XL in patients with irregular cornea.
Methods: This prospective study included 36 eyes of 36 patients with irregular cornea fitted with Rose K2 XL. Refractive and visual outcomes and mesopic and aberrometric parameters of fitted eyes were assessed at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the initial lens use.
Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the outcomes of simultaneous versus sequential wavefront-guided (WFG) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined with accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus over a year.
- 62 eyes were split into two groups: one received both treatments at the same time (30 eyes), while the other group had PRK 6 months after CXL (32 eyes).
- Both methods resulted in significant improvements in vision and other parameters, with no notable differences between the two approaches after one year, confirming both procedures as effective for treating keratoconus.
