Purpose: To describe how underlying retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa, increase the risk of chloroquine-induced macular toxicity.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: We present the case of a 57-year-old woman being annually followed-up in the Ophthalmology service due to a systemic treatment with chloroquine (CQ).
Purpose: To evaluate compliance with diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations of the European Glaucoma Society (EGS) for the management of glaucoma in Spain, as determined using the Achievable Benchmarks of Care approach.
Methods: A panel of 3 experts extracted quality and process-of-care indicators from the EGS guidelines. Investigators from all over the country, representative of Spanish ophthalmologists, were invited to participate in the study, completing a questionnaire on quality indicators (pertaining to the center) and process-of-care indicators (pertaining to all patients) for the first, diagnostic visit (retrospective) and the study visit.
Purpose: To study 25-gauge sclerotomy healing process in vivo with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in direct and oblique incisions.
Design: Prospective interventional case series report.
Methods: At our institution, we performed UBM studies on 53 sclerotomies during the first 30 days after 25-gauge vitrectomy, looking for conjunctival bleb development, sclerotomy healing signs, and vitreous incarceration in the wound.
Purpose: To develop a surgical incisional technique that helps overcome incompetent sclerotomy closure previously reported in sutureless 25-gauge vitrectomy.
Design: Prospective interventional case series report.
Methods: We performed this surgical technique in 12 eyes of 12 consecutive patients scheduled for 25-gauge vitrectomy.
