Vitreomacular Traction and Outer Retinal Structural Changes.

In this case report we aimed to present the outer retinal structural changes secondary to vitreomacular traction (VMT). Outer retinal structural changes occurring secondary to VMT due to incomplete posterior vitreous detachment were described retrospectively with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in 3 eyes of 3 patients. The patients ranged in age from 58 to 65 years and best corrected visual acuity in the 3 eyes was 4/10, 8/10, and 9/10.

Optical Coherence Tomography Characteristics of Quiescent Type 1 Neovascularization in Eyes with Nonexudative Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Objectives: To describe the lesion characteristics of nonexudative, quiescent, asymptomatic type 1 neovascularization (NV) on B-scan and en face spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in eyes with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective, observational, consecutive case series, 27 patients who were already being followed and treated for exudative AMD in one eye were included in the study for their fellow eyes, which were initially nonexudative but developed exudative findings during follow-up. Initial B-scan and en face SD-OCT, fluorescein angiography (FA), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) images of these 27 eyes were examined retrospectively.

Direct Treatment Costs of Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration and Comparison of Gained and/or Preserved Vision with Expenditure.

Objectives: The aim was to quantify the direct medical cost of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) versus gained or preserved vision.

Materials And Methods: Data of patients treated for neovascular AMD between January 2009 to January 2014 were reviewed. Patients with complete follow-up for two years, treated with only intravitreal ranibizumab injections and with no intraocular surgery were included.

Long-term Results in Pediatric Developmental Cataract Surgery with Primary Intraocular Lens Implantation.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of pediatric developmental cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Materials And Methods: Patients between 2 and 16 years old who underwent cataract surgery with primary IOL implantation were retrospectively evaluated. Age at time of surgery, pre- and postoperative best corrected visual acuities, postoperative ocular complications, and any accompanying ocular pathologies were obtained from the patients' charts.

Evaluation of Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation with preoperative intracameral bevacizumab injection in refractory neovascular glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation with preoperative intracameral bevacizumab injection in eyes with refractory neovascular glaucoma.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with medically uncontrolled neovascular glaucoma who had received 50-µL intracameral bevacizumab (1.25 mg) before undergoing Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt implantation was performed.
