Purpose: To assess the prognostic value of subretinal (SRF) and intraretinal fluid (IRF) localizations in type 1 macular neovascularization (MNV) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Subjects: Eyes were prospectively treated with anti-vascular epithelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections (IVT) according to a Pro-Re-Nata (PRN) or Treat and Extend (TAE) regimen during 24 months. A total of 211 eyes with treatment-naïve type 1 MNV secondary to AMD were consecutively included.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of initial treatment regimen individualization (pro re nata or treat-and-extend [TAE]), according to macular neovascularization (MNV) subtype, on the functional and anatomical response in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The secondary objective was to compare the treatment burden between each MNV subtype.
Methods: Consecutive treatment-naïve nAMD patients were retrospectively included.
Purpose: To assess the impact of the use of artificial tears during the preoperative work-up performed before age-related cataract surgery, when a toric intraocular lens (IOL) was indicated.
Methods: This was a monocentric prospective study assessing 73 eyes of 51 patients, included consecutively after a preoperative work-up performed without artificial tears (no artificial tears group), when a toric IOL was indicated. Each included patient underwent a second series of examinations: biometry using the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) and topography using the OPD-Scan II (Nidek), 1 minute after artificial tears instillation (artificial tears group; hyaluronate de sodium 0.
