Risk Factors for Secondary Glaucoma in Herpetic Anterior Uveitis.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and secondary glaucoma in herpetic anterior uveitis (AU), owing to either herpes simplex or varicella zoster virus, by using the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria, and to identify risk factors for the development of glaucoma.

Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.

Methods: Patients with herpetic AU presenting themselves between 2001 and 2013 at the ophthalmology department of the University Medical Center Groningen were included.

Vision-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Inactive HLA-B27-Associated-Spectrum Anterior Uveitis.

We investigated the vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) in patients with HLA-B27 associated anterior uveitis (AU). The study was conducted in 2012 at the ophthalmology department of the University Medical Center of Groningen. We included AU patients who were HLA-B27 positive and/or were diagnosed by a rheumatologist with an HLA-B27 associated systemic disease.

Visual Prognosis and Ocular Complications in Herpetic versus HLA-B27- or Ankylosing Spondylitis-associated Anterior Uveitis.

Purpose: To investigate the visual prognosis and ocular complications in patients with herpetic versus HLA-B27 associated anterior uveitis (AU).

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study conducted at the ophthalmology department of the University Medical Center of Groningen. Sixty-two herpetic and 113 HLA-B27-associated AU patients were included.

Postoperative vision-related quality of life in macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients and its relation to visual function.

Objective: To determine the vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) after surgery for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in relation to visual acuity, contrast acuity, and color vision.

Methods: In a prospective observational study, we included 55 patients with a macula-off RRD. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color vision (saturated and desaturated color confusion indices (CCI)) and contrast acuity were measured at 12 months postoperatively in both the RRD eye and the fellow control eye, and the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was filled out.

Vision-related quality of life in herpetic anterior uveitis patients.

We investigated the vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) and the prevalence and severity of depression in patients with herpetic anterior uveitis (AU). This study was conducted in 2012 at the ophthalmology department of the University Medical Center of Groningen (tertiary referral center). We selected patients from an existing uveitis database, all eligible patients were approached.
