Purpose: To evaluate structure and function improvement in central retina by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mf-ERG) in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR) treatment.
Methods: Twenty-seven eyes in 27 patients with DME received three consecutive monthly injections of IVR (0.05 ml, 10 mg/ml) and as needed thereafter.
Purpose: To determine the main prognostic factors related to final visual acuity (VA) after intraocular ocular foreign body (IOFB) extraction.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of 80 patients (84 eyes) who underwent surgical removal of IOFBs and repair of associated ocular trauma. Data on age, gender, presenting clinical features, characteristics of IOFB, complications, interval between time of injury and IOFB removal, and final VA were recorded and analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of one-passage, double-passage and circular canalicular intubations in repairing lacerations of canaliculus.
Methods: A total of 109 eyes in 109 cases of canalicular laceration were repaired with three types of silicone intubations, among which 23 with one-passage canalicular intubation, 51 with double-passage canalicular intubation, and 35 with circular canalicular intubation. The average follow-up period was 12-15 months.
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects and complications of hydroxyapatite (HA) orbital implantation on patients after trauma-related surgeries.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was made from 211 cases (211 eyes) who underwent HA orbital implant placement after trauma-related enucleation or evisceration, including 68 cases of evisceration and primary HA implant placement, 77 cases of enucleation and HA implant placement wrapped with multi-windowed sclera, 66 cases of enucleation and HA implant placement free of wrapping. All the cases were followed up for 1-5 years to observe the therapeutic effects and major complications.
