Pharmacologic therapy for diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy remains one of the major causes of acquired blindness in developed nations. This is true despite the development of laser treatment, which can prevent blindness in the majority of those who develop macular oedema (ME) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). ME is manifest by retinal vascular leakage and thickening of the retina.

Intravitreal triamcinolone for choroidal neovascularization in ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

Purpose: To report the effects of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injections for subfoveal and juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

Methods: In a retrospective analysis, the proportion of eyes that gained >or=5 or lost >or=5 and >or=15 Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters, best-corrected visual acuity using ETDRS letter score (VA), greatest linear dimension (GLD), and treatment side effects were assessed.

Results: Ten patients (five subfoveal, five juxtafoveal CNV; median follow-up: 17 months; range, 6-41 months) were evaluated.
