Purpose: Foveal autofluorescence (AF) has been suggested to be a potential predictor of treatment outcome in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration and could be a useful marker to help prognosticate for patients and for clinical trials. This retrospective study aims to determine if pretreatment foveal AF can predict treatment response to intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy in CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Ninety-five eyes (85 patients) with naive CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration, treated with intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy were included in this study.
Purpose: To compare high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in detection of macular edema (ME) of various etiologies.
Methods: In a retrospective study over a 12-month period at one retina center, data for consecutive eyes that had undergone simultaneous conventional FA (HRA; Heidelberg Engineering, Vista, CA) and StratusOCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) to rule out ME were reviewed. A subset of patients underwent additional examination with extremely high-resolution (6-microm)/ultrahigh-speed spectral OCT/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (OTI, Inc.
Purpose: To compare standardized visual outcomes and macular thickness changes associated with primary and secondary bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA) therapy for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Eighteen eyes received primary bevacizumab treatment; 20 eyes received pegaptanib (Macugen; Eyetech/OSI Pharmaceuticals, New York, NY) as initial treatment followed by bevacizumab therapy.
Purpose: To evaluate the use of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) for the treatment of macular edema secondary to immune recovery uveitis (IRU) in patients with AIDS.
Design: Prospective, consecutive, interventional case series.
Participants: Eight eyes of 7 patients receiving 13 injections.
Purpose: To test the toxicity of intravitreal injections of benzyl alcohol.
Methods: Nine New Zealand rabbits were injected with either a control or a test article at elevating concentrations. The test article was benzyl alcohol calculated to give final injected concentrations of 0.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of bioresorbable mesh in reconstruction of orbitocranial deformities.
Methods: A retrospective case series evaluating 6 orbits of 6 patients, ages 12 to 70 years old, with large multicontoured orbitocranial defects that were repaired using bioresorbable macroporous mesh. Both functional (presence of diplopia, ocular motility, exophthalmometry, and vertical globe position) and cosmetic outcomes were evaluated.
Purpose: To evaluate the percentage and risk indicators leading to retinal redetachment in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) patients with CMV (cytomegalovirus) retinitis related retinal detachments that were repaired with silicone oil, and then subsequently underwent oil removal.
Design: Retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series.
Methods: The study cohort consisted of a series of 15 eyes in 14 patients with HIV and CMV retinitis with a retinal detachment (RD) repaired with silicone oil at a single center and followed from the time of the CMV retinitis diagnosis through the time of silicone oil removal.
