Periocular triamcinolone acetonide injections for control of intraocular inflammation associated with uveitis.

Purpose: To describe the effectiveness of periocular corticosteroid injections for the control of intraocular inflammation associated with noninfectious uveitis.

Methods: A total of 81 patients (109 eyes) who received a periocular injection were evaluated for active inflammation, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, degree of intraocular inflammation, and the presence of ocular complications, including macular edema.

Results: Of all eyes, 36% (95%CI: 25%, 45%) demonstrated clinical resolution of inflammation at the 1-month visit after first injection, and 48% (95%CI: 37%, 59%) at 3 months.

Ultra-wide-field retinal imaging in the management of non-infectious retinal vasculitis.

Background: The purpose of this study is to describe and quantify the benefit of ultra-wide-field imaging and fluorescein angiography (FA) in the management of non-infectious retinal vasculitis. In this prospective observational cohort series, patients with non-infectious retinal vasculitis were evaluated and enrolled by four investigators from the Divisions of Retina and Ocular Immunology at the Wilmer Eye Institute. In each patient, disease activity and the need for management changes were assessed, based on clinical examination with or without standard (60°) imaging and then with the addition of ultra-wide-field pseudo-color scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) images and FA using the Optos ultra-wide-field SLO (Optos Panoramic 200MA™, Optos PLC, Dunfermline, Scotland, UK).

Wide-field retinal imaging in the management of noninfectious posterior uveitis.

Purpose: To determine whether the use of ultra wide-field imaging changes the management or determination of disease activity in patients with noninfectious posterior uveitis.

Design: Prospective, observational case series.

Methods: setting: Divisions of Retina and Ocular Immunology at single academic medical center.
