Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze cytokine levels in the tear fluid of patients undergoing multiple intravitreal injections (IVI) of anti-VEGF for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
- Researchers measured the levels of six cytokines in the tears of treated and untreated eyes of patients, using a specific assay technique, at least four weeks after receiving an injection.
- Results showed that levels of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-γ and TNF, were lower in the injected eyes compared to the untreated eyes, supporting the notion that serial IVI treatment correlates with reduced inflammation and improved tear film health.
Reticular Pseudodrusen Voids after Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
Case Rep Ophthalmol
August 2023
We present a case of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) regression on multimodal retinal imaging following a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Two mechanisms of action can be postulated. The subretinal deposits dissolve due to voluminous subretinal fluid during retinal separation from the retinal pigment epithelium and are in turn mechanically cleared during retinal re-attachment surgery.

Methods: Prospective, observational study. The following data were collected at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after retinal reattachment: Best-corrected visual acuity, metamorphopsia (M-CHARTS), aniseikonia (New Aniseikonia Test), altered ellipsoid zone reflectivity, outer retinal folds, macular detachment demarcation, and subfoveal fluid.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of serial intravitreal injections (IVIs) on the ocular surface and meibomian glands (MGs) in patients treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Design: Retrospective, controlled, observational study.
Participants: Patients with nAMD receiving unilateral IVIs with anti-VEGF agents.
Purpose: To compare pathology detection using multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy with color fundus photography following macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Methods: Postsurgery multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and color fundus photography images from 30 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients were examined by 10 masked graders. Imaging was performed with the Heidelberg Spectralis HRA and the digital retinal camera Basler acA2500-14gc GigE.
Purpose: To explore the potentials of multicolor (MC) confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) to detect structural retinal pathology after macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to describe their appearances.
Methods: Thirty MC cSLO images of 30 eyes after RRD repair were prospectively studied for the presence of RRD-related pathology. All MC cSLO findings were verified using swept source optical coherence tomography.
