Mycophenolate sodium in the treatment of corticosteroid-refractory non-infectious inflammatory uveitis (MySTRI study).

Objectives: To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety profile of next generation mycophenolate sodium (MPS), which is different from mycophenolate mofetil with an enteric-coated formulation, in corticosteroid-refractory non-infectious inflammatory uveitis (CRU) patients.

Methods: Prospective, uncontrolled, open-label interventional case series. Forty consecutive patients at a tertiary uveitis referral centre received 6 months of oral MPS as the treatment regimen with follow-up 12 months.

RESULTS OF MACULAR HOLE SURGERY: Evaluation Based on the International Vitreomacular Traction Study Classification.

Purpose: To evaluate the differences in anatomical and visual function changes after macular hole (MH) surgery using the International Vitreomacular Traction Study classification.

Methods: Patients who underwent vitrectomy and blood-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling because of MHs were enrolled in the present study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the sizes of their MHs (small: ≤250 μm, medium: >250 μm and ≤400 μm, and large: >400 μm).
