Anatomical and Functional Outcomes with Prompt versus Delayed Initiation of Anti-VEGF in Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between time from diagnosis of treatment-naïve exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to the introduction of anti-VEGF treatment and anatomical and functional outcomes.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Included were treatment-naïve exudative AMD patients who presented to a single tertiary medical center between 2012 and 2018.

[OPTIC DISC EDEMA IN McCUNE-ALBRIGHT SYNDROME].

Introduction: Craniofacial polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, as part of McCune-Albright syndrome, can have severe complications including vision loss. Also, patients with this syndrome are at greater risk of secondary intra-cranial pressure elevation due to medication side effects.

Background: : A 6-year-old girl with McCune-Albright syndrome and polyostotic craniofacial fibrous dysplasia and optic canal narrowing, developed signs of slowly progressive optic nerve compression on clinical examination including deteriorating visual acuity, positive relative afferent pupillary defect )RAPD) and bilateral optic disc swelling.

Intravitreal Tissue Plasminogen Activator Injection for the Treatment of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy in a Rabbit Model.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).

Methods: PVR was induced in a rabbit model by intraocular injection of dispase (0.05 U/0.

Measured Corneal Astigmatism Versus Pseudophakic Predicted Refractive Astigmatism in Cataract Surgery Candidates.

Purpose: To compare standard and total corneal astigmatism measurements to the predicted pseudophakic (nontoric) refractive astigmatism in candidates for cataract surgery.

Design: A retrospective, cross-sectional study.

Methods: A single-center analysis of consecutive eyes measured with a swept-source optical coherence tomography biometer at a large tertiary medical center between February 2018 and June 2020.

Ocular Biometric Characteristics Measured by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography in Individuals Undergoing Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To study the distribution of ocular biometric parameters using a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometer in adult candidates for cataract surgery.

Design: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: This is a single-center analysis of consecutive eyes measured with the IOLMaster 700 SS-OCT biometer at a large tertiary medical center between February 2018 and June 2020.

Evaluating the prediction accuracy of the Hill-RBF 3.0 formula using a heteroscedastic statistical method.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the Hill-RBF 3 formula, with and without direct measurements of total corneal power, using a heteroscedastic statistical method for analysis.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

Design: Retrospective, consecutive case series.

Telemedicine comes of age during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): An international survey of oculoplastic surgeons.

Purpose: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an ongoing healthcare crisis that continues its worldwide spread. Ophthalmologists are at high risk of acquiring and transmitting the virus. Telemedicine platforms have evolved and may play an important role in attenuating this risk.

Response of ophthalmologists in Israel to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak.

Purpose: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved into a formidable healthcare crisis. Ophthalmologists are at daily personal risk of acquiring and transmitting the virus. Implementation of official practical and protective guidelines can be challenging and is often absent.
