Aim: To determine whether different intravitreal doses of quinupristin/dalfopristin lead to electroretinographic or histological changes in the rabbit retina over one month period after injection.

Methods: Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three treatment groups (groups 1 to 3) and different intravitreal doses of quinupristin/dalfopristin were tested in each group. The right eye was injected with the drug and the left eye received intravitreal injection of 5% dextrose water and served as control eye.

Purpose: To compare measurements and morphologic characteristics of the iridocorneal angle in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and healthy infants using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: In this observational, case-control study, the eyes of children with ROP and healthy controls under 1 year old were imaged using SD-OCT without sedation to capture the iridocorneal angle. The ROP staging was made by a pediatric retinal specialist.
