[Dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) in patients with diabetic macular edema: Real life safety and efficacy].

Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal dexamethasone implant (DI) for patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) in real life.

Methods: We conducted a monocentric retrospective analysis of the change in visual acuity and central macular thickness (CMT) after intravitreal injection of the DI at peak efficacy (2 months after injection) as well as the timing of reinjections and complications in patients with a loss of vision due to DME.

Results: Forty eyes of 33 patients were included, with a mean follow-up of 12.

Long term effect of phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure in patients with medically controlled primary open-angle glaucoma.

Background: The effect of cataract surgery on IOP in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a subject of debate. We investigated the effect of cataract surgery by phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with medically POAG .

Methods: Seventy eyes of 40 POAG patients undergoing cataract surgery by phacoemulsification were retrospectively evaluated.
