Ocriplasmin for diabetic retinopathy.

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is a serious public health concern. Vision impairment follows from intraocular vascular proliferation known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and/or from diabetic macular edema (DME). Clinical acumen and a recent meta-analysis of published studies suggest that the presence of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) reduces the risk of developing PDR, and has a favourable impact on DME.

Reproducibility of measurements and variability of the classification algorithm of Stratus OCT in normal, hypertensive, and glaucomatous patients.

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements and the variability of the probabilistic classification algorithm in normal, hypertensive and glaucomatous eyes using Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Forty-nine eyes (13 normal, 17 ocular hypertensive [OHT] and 19 glaucomatous) of 49 subjects were included in this study. RNFL was determined with Stratus OCT using the standard protocol RNFL thickness 3.

Idiopathic juxtapapillary polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in the papillomacular bundle: treatment with photodynamic therapy: two years follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a patient with juxtapapillary idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV) in the papillomacular bundle.

Methods: One session of PDT using a spot size with diameter of 1000 μm in the center of the juxtapapillary lesion was applied.

Patient: A 75-year-old woman with decreased vision (20/80) in her right eye over a period of 1 year.

In a randomized controlled trial, cataract surgery in both eyes increased benefits compared to surgery in one eye only.

Background And Objective: Despite recommendation of surgery in both eyes in patients with bilateral cataract, there is little evidence about the benefits of second-eye surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the benefits of cataract surgery in both eyes with those of surgery in one eye only.

Study Design And Setting: Two-arm randomized controlled trial involving 296 patients with bilateral cataracts of two public teaching hospitals.
