Purpose: To evaluate the endothelial cell loss in patients with iris-claw phakic lenses (Artisan®) in a long-term follow-up.

Methods: We analyzed the medical records of patients who had undergone iris-claw phakic lens implantation and who had at least 5 years of follow-up.

Results: We included 67 eyes with myopic errors (follow-up 9.

Ocular toxocariasis is an uncommon worldwide parasitic infection that affects mostly children and is found in both rural and metropolitan areas. In many parts of the world, parasitic infections of the eye are a major cause of blindness. The diagnosis of toxocariasis is essentially clinical, based on the lesion morphology and supportive laboratory data such as serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titers and ELISA Toxocara titers on aqueous humor; other diagnostic methods are imaging studies including optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, computed tomography, and ocular ultrasound.

Background: To report the anatomic and functional outcomes of a single-session combined photodynamic therapy with verteporfin (PDT) and intravitreal (IVT) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CCSCR).

Methods: Retrospective interventional comparative case series of eyes with symptomatic CCSCR (duration ≥ 4 months) and macular neurosensory retinal detachment (MNSRD). The study group, eight eyes (six patients), received a single session of combined full-fluence PDT and IVT anti-VEGF [bevacizumab (2.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 or 2.5 mg) for treating inflammatory choroidal neovascularization in 23 eyes over 24 months.
  • Patients showed significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity, increasing from an average of 20/100 to approximately 20/50 at various follow-up points.
  • Central macular thickness also decreased notably, indicating structural improvement, with all treatments conducted after stabilizing the underlying uveitic condition.
