Successful treatments of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome-related macular edema and exudation by intravitreal aflibercept injection in a senile patient: A case report.

Rationale: The prevalence of idiopathic retinitis, vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome is <1/1,000,000, and it tends to occur in young women. Panretinal photocoagulation, focal laser photocoagulation, peripheral cryopexy, vitrectomy, and corticosteroid therapy are the traditional treatments. We reported a case of a senile patient with IRVAN syndrome who presented with severe exudation in both eyes and macular edema in the left eye, successfully treated by serial intravitreal aflibercept injections.

Six years follow-up of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and bevacizumab: Long-Term Outcomes of intravitreal injection in Type 1 ROP.

To investigate biometric and refractive results in patients with type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated by intravitreal injection (IVI) of ranibizumab (R) and bevacizumab (B) at the corrected age of 6. This is a single-center retrospective study. Infants diagnosed with type 1 ROP and treated with IVI of either R or B as the primary therapy were included.

Corneal ectasia after an incomplete flap creation in an abandoned laser-assisted keratomileusis.

To report a unique case of a 31-year-old woman developing corneal ectasia after an abandoned laser-assisted keratomileusis (LASIK) procedure with incomplete flap creation without laser ablation. A 31-year-old Taiwanese woman presented with corneal ectasia after a failed LASIK with an incomplete flap creation without laser procedure in her right eye 4 years ago. A visible scar was observed in the flap margin from the 7 to 10 o'clock position.

Infrared images help to identify retinal emboli in hemodynamic retinal artery occlusion.

To report a case of stroke with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with multiple emboli identified by infrared images. The patient presented with acute blurred vision and slurred speech since woke up in the morning. Carotid Doppler ultrasonography showed severe left ICA stenosis with the decreased flow.

Deep phototherapeutic keratectomy for Schnyder corneal dystrophy.

We report a case of Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD) treated with deep phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). A 33-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of blurred vision and corneal haze in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed needle-like subepithelial crystalline depositions and prominent arcus lipoides bilaterally.

FOVEAL DISPLACEMENT IN EYES WITH EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE AFTER VITRECTOMY AND MEMBRANE PEELING.

Purpose: To investigate the foveal movement in eyes with epiretinal membrane after vitrectomy and membrane peeling.

Methods: A retrospective review of 85 eyes with epiretinal membrane treated with vitrectomy, membrane peeling, and internal limiting membrane removal. Using a self-designed computer program to compare the preoperative and postoperative images of optical coherence tomography to measure the amount of foveal movement.
