Importance: Internal limiting membrane (ILM) abrasion is an alternative surgical technique for successful full-thickness macular hole (MH) repair.
Objective: To study the effects of ILM abrasion as an alternative method of MH repair.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Retrospective consecutive case series from January 2006 to December 2008.
Objective: The objective of this article was to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, and visual outcomes of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in First Nations and Métis individuals.
Design: A retrospective chart review.
Participants: Nineteen First Nation and Métis Canadian residents in Northern Alberta.
Purpose: To describe our preliminary experience with temporal small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) techniques used to treat anterior and posterior segment pathology.
Methods: A retrospective consecutive case review of patients who underwent temporal PPV was performed. Patients underwent combined temporal small-gauge PPV and anterior segment intervention.
Background: This study compared the sensitivity and specificity of stereoscopic digital photography of the retina through a dilated pupil with a 45 degrees nonmydriatic camera and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compression of the images with the sensitivity and specificity of 35-mm slide film photography in the identification of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Consecutive patients with a diagnosis of AMD were enrolled. Stereoscopic retinal images of the disc, macula and temporal macula were captured with a digital 45 degrees nonmydriatic camera (then compressed into JPEG format) and with a standard fundus camera and slide film.
