Objective: To compare demographic data, clinical and radiological characteristics, treatments, and long-term visual outcomes between patients with late-onset neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder-related optic neuritis (LO-NMOSD-ON) (age at onset ≥ 50 years) and patients with early-onset neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder-related optic neuritis (EO-NMOSD-ON) (age at onset < 50 years).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 47 patients (69 eyes) who were diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder-related optic neuritis (NMOSD-ON) over a 12-year period. There were 14 patients (21 eyes) and 33 patients (48 eyes) in the LO-NMOSD-ON and EO-NMOSD-ON groups, respectively.
Objective: We aim to identify prognostic factors for visual outcomes following a first episode of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder-related optic neuritis (NMOSD-ON) in affected eyes.
Materials And Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study. The study included 50 individuals who were diagnosed with NMOSD-ON (63 affected eyes) in a tertiary institution over a 12-year period.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral spironolactone treatment versus conservative treatment for patients with persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in real-life practice.
Design: Retrospective comparative study.
Patients And Methods: Medical records and retinal images of 62 patients with non-resolving CSC were reviewed.
Objective: To study silicone oil (SO) emulsification, anatomic and visual outcome after complicated retinal detachment surgery by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intraocular SO tamponade, comparing between low and high viscosity SO.
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial.
Patients And Methods: Patients with complicated retinal detachment who had been surgically treated by PPV and intraocular SO tamponade were randomly divided into low viscosity (Group 1) or high viscosity (Group 2).
