Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are effective in delaying the progression of diabetic retinopathy. It is unknown if their use is associated with a better visual outcome in patients with diabetic macular oedema.
Material And Methods: A non-experimental, comparative, longitudinal and retrospective study was performed on patients with diabetic macular oedema treated by focal photocoagulation, and with systemic arterial hypertension treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (Group 1), and without hypertension (Group 2).
Background: Macular oedema is a form of diabetic retinopathy that can be treated with photocoagulation. The expected effect of treatment varies, and may depend on the previous characteristics of retinal thickening.
Objective: To determine whether the change in retinal thickness after focal photocoagulation for diabetic macular oedema varies due to the presence of anatomical features that may justify a separate assessment.
Background: Although photocoagulation reduces the incidence of moderate visual loss in eyes with focal diabetic macular oedema, some eyes may lose some vision after treatment. The proportion of eyes with poor functional response after photocoagulation, and whether any retinal variable is associated with this, is unknown.
Objective: To determine the proportion of eyes with diabetic macular oedema that have a poor functional response after focal photocoagulation, and their associated features.
Background: Clinically significant macular edema has features that are associated with a major risk of visual loss, with thickening that involves the centre of the macula, field 7 or visual deficiency, although it is unknown if these features are related to retinal thickness extension.
Material And Methods: An observational, analytical, prospective, cross-sectional and open study was conducted. The sample was divided into initial visual acuity ≥0.
Background: Visual improvement after focal photocoagulation in diabetic macular edema is more common in eyes without temporal perifoveal thickening. This feature is related to a lower macular volume before treatment; the higher proportion of visual improvement could be associated with a shorter need of volume reduction.
Objective: To compare macular volume before and after focal photocoagulation in eyes with diabetic macular edema, with and without temporal perifoveal thickening.
Objective: To compare retinal sensitivity in diabetics with macular edema, with and without decreased visual acuity.
Methods: An observational, prospective, cross-sectional comparative study in eyes with diabetic macular edema. The sample was divided into two groups: eyes with visual acuity ""≥ 0.
Objective: To compare the changes in macular volume after photocoagulation between eyes with diabetic macular edema with and without visual improvement.
Methods: Non-experimental, retrospective, longitudinal, comparative study in eyes with diabetic macular edema; the sample was divided in groups: eyes with visual improvement three weeks after photocoagulation (group 1) and eyes without it (group 2). The means of macular volume changes (potential, absolute and percentage) were compared between groups (Student's t test).
Introduction: Open-globe ocular trauma causes visual deficiency; calculating the magnitude of the latter often misses the estimation in patients without follow-up.
Aim: to identify the modification of the postoperative proportion of visual deficiency in open-globe ocular trauma, which would introduce considering the proportion estimated in patients without follow-up.
Methods: Non-interventional, retrospective, longitudinal, analytical study.
