Eales' disease: epidemiology, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts.

Background: To describe the epidemiological traits, clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions and evolution in a large series of patients with diagnosis of Eales' disease.

Methods: A clinical retrospective review of patients with Eales' disease, evaluated and treated between April 2009 and April 2018, with a 1-year minimum follow-up. Thirty patients (59 eyes), were included.

Perfluorocarbon perfused vitrectomy: animal studies.

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and advantages of using perfluorocarbon liquid (PCL) perfusion to remove vitreous during suction-cutting vitrectomy in rabbit and pig eyes.

Design: Experimental study.

Methods: Balanced salt solution (BSS) was replaced by PCL perfusion during experimental vitrectomy.

Enlarged diode laser spot using indirect ophthalmoscope delivery in conjunction with indocyanine green to treat large choroidal neovascularizations.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new method of delivering diode laser (810 nm) spots through an indirect ophthalmoscope in conjunction with intravenous indocyanine green to treat choroidal neovascularizations (CNVs) larger than 5,400 microm.

Patients And Methods: A prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series study was conducted with 8 patients with CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Laser pulses were applied to the CNV within 5 minutes of an intravenous injection of 25 mg of indocyanine green.
