Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a 0.7mg dexamethasone implant for diabetic macular edema (DME) in 74 patients with an average follow-up of 9.8 months.
- Significant decreases in central retinal thickness (CRT) and improvements in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were observed, with 27% of patients showing a substantial gain in vision after 6 months.
- Side effects, mainly ocular hypertension, were manageable, indicating that dexamethasone is a viable treatment option with a favorable safety profile for DME, though patient follow-up needs adjustment according to the drug's effects.
Purpose: Optical coherence tomography has been used for many years, in particular in the field of the retinal imaging, and is a promising technique in the analysis of the anterior segment, providing a similar resolution to histology for ocular tissue.
Material And Methods: We present a collection of images obtained with the OCT3 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA), with parameters set to obtain good-quality images of the iris and corneal structures.
Results: The OCT provides detailed analysis of the cornea, precise assessment of the dimensions and locations of corneal lesions - in the anterior-posterior plane as well as transversally or obliquely - with 10-microm precision, and the study of the iridocorneal angle and its dynamics.
Introduction: We report a case of a 66-year-old woman presenting a central retinal artery occlusion with no cardiovascular risk factor, with assessment using supra-aortic artery ultrasonography showing total internal carotid artery thrombosis.
Observation: When vascular thrombosis risk factors are absent, more in-depth assessment such as a supra-aortic artery angioscan can provide the diagnosis of arterial dissection on arterial fibromuscular dysplasia.
Conclusion: Central retinal artery occlusion is a rare but severe pathology.
