Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.01% atropine eye-drops in controlling myopia progression over 5 years.
Methods: Experimental, analytical, prospective, randomised and longitudinal study, in 361 right eyes from 361 children randomised into the control group (177 eyes without treatment) and treatment group (184 eyes with 0.
Utility of an additional photodynamic therapy session after multiple failed PDT treatments in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther
September 2022
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of an additional photodynamic therapy (PDT) in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSCR) patients who have two or more previous failed PDTs.
Methods: Ten eyes of 10 patients with cCSCR who had received two or more PDTs without complete resolution of the subretinal fluid (SRF) or with early recurrence (before 3 months) were included. An additional half-fluence PDT was performed.
Objective: Choroidal thickness (CT) has been evaluated as a marker of systemic inflammation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study evaluates the CT of AS patients before and after 6 months of biological treatment.
Methods: This longitudinal multicenter study evaluated CT in 44 AS patients.
Background And Objective: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease, and choroidal thickness (CT) has been proposed and evaluated as a potential marker of systemic inflammation associated with AS and other inflammatory diseases. This study compared CT measurements taken from patients with severe AS disease activity without eye inflammation with those taken from healthy subjects.
Methods: This cross-sectional, multicenter study compared CT in 44 patients with high AS disease activity, and no history of eye inflammation with CT in 44 matched healthy subjects aged between 18 and 65 years.
Purpose: To report an unusual bilateral ulcerative lid involvement as the presenting manifestation of a severe Crohn disease.
Design: Observational case report.
Method: Description of an otherwise healthy woman who initially presented with bilateral ulcerative lid involvement before the discovery of an extensive ulcerative intestinal inflammatory disease.
Purpose: To report an unusual case of severe keratomycosis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum without any known previous ocular injury, that resulted in a corneal perforation, which was treated with an emergency penetrating tectonic keratoplasty and later with phacoemulsification and astigmatic keratotomy to restore good visual function.
Methods: A 45-year-old woman with a history of multiple sclerosis presented with a severe and refractory corneal abscess in her right eye without any known prior injury. Corneal scrapings were obtained and stained for microscopic evaluation.
