Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of switching intravitreal dexamethasone implants (DEX-implant) from pro re nata (PRN) treatment regimen to a proactive regimen in patients with macular edema of diverse etiologies.
Design: An observational, retrospective, uncontrolled, multicenter, national case series.
Participants: Eighty-one eyes from 68 patients treated between October 2015 and June 2023 were included.
Purpose: To compare the refractive outcomes of sutureless scleral-fixated Carlevale® intraocular lenses versus Artisan® iris-claw-fixated lenses in terms of surgically induced astigmatism.
Setting: We included patients from the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, Paris, from August 2020 to December 2020.
Design: This was a single-center retrospective study.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared surgical outcomes for retinal detachment repair using air or gas tamponade in 262 patients with superior retinal breaks.
- Results showed no significant difference in success rates between the air and gas groups at 3 and 6 months, both achieving high success rates.
- However, the air group had better early visual recovery, lower rates of postoperative ocular hypertension, and fewer incidents of epiretinal membrane formation at 6 months compared to the gas group.
The aim of this study is to report a case of bilateral traumatic maculopathy in a 19-year-old male following blunt trauma during 2020 coronavirus disease-2019 national lockdown. Descriptive case report based on data from clinical records, patient observation, and analysis of diagnostic tests. A previously healthy, 19-year-old male presented for a visit in our department at 15-20 National Ophthalmology Institute with complaints of bilateral decreased visual acuity.

- The study evaluates how visual acuity improves in patients with drug-naive diabetic macular edema (DME) after treatment with a dexamethasone implant (DEX-implant), focusing on anatomical and functional factors that affect treatment response.
- It includes a retrospective analysis of 129 eyes, revealing two patient groups: Group A, with most patients experiencing minimal VA gain, and Group B, with a notable VA improvement; those with a baseline VA under 37 letters were more likely to belong to Group B.
- Although some patients with low baseline VA showed significant visual gain, the presence of certain anatomical issues (like ellipsoid zone alterations and disorganization of retinal layers) negatively impacted their final visual acuity, highlighting complexities in
