Efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept in ranibizumab-refractory patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Background: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents have become the standard of care in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Despite generally excellent response rates to anti-VEGF therapy, some patients do not respond or may respond suboptimally. In the case of refractory or rapidly recurring fluid in nAMD, clinicians may switch to another anti-VEGF agent.

Transscleral filtration revealing a chorioretinal coloboma.

Purpose: We report the case of a 19-year-old patient who presented with an ocular hypotony due to a transscleral filtration through an isolated congenital chorioretinal coloboma in his right eye.

Observations: The initial examination showed a decimal best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) decreased to 0.7 and a marked hypotony.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Analysis of Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Networks during Acute, Relapsing, and Quiescent Stages of Macular Toxoplasma Retinochoroiditis.

Purpose: To highlight the advantages of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in delineating the morphological features of the retinal and choroidal vascular network during acute, relapsing, and quiescent stages of macular toxoplasma retinochoroiditis.

[What will cataract surgery look like in the future? Alternatives in the pipeline].

Phacoemulsification is the most frequently performed surgery in the world. Over the past few years, this surgery seems to have reached a plateau with no further innovative breakthroughs. In this paper, we focus on alternatives techniques, the latest innovations, and the research and development pipeline in this field.

[Treatment switch in diabetic macular edema: Literature review and management algorithm].

Initial management of diabetic macular edema (DME) is well-defined, but there is a lack of national or international consensus for patients who do not respond or respond only partially to these treatments. Several studies, mostly retrospective, have assessed medication switches, but currently, the literature contains no randomized studies. The goal of this article is to present an algorithm for switching medications, which can be proposed to DME patients treated with anti-VEGF agents, as defined by a group of French retina experts, supported by the existing literature on the subject.

Fast and sustained healing of resistant corneal ulcers using corneal scrubbing and matrix regenerating therapy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of corneal scrubbing associated with matrix regenerating agent on corneal wound healing in patients with persistent corneal ulcers.

Methods: This was a retrospective case study in patients with difficult-to-treat corneal ulcer. Corneal scrubbing was performed with a sterile dry cotton bud to eliminate damaged epithelial cells and corneal deposits, promoting epithelial renewal.

Is current age related macular degeneration self-monitoring a good tool for detecting exudative recurrence?

Purpose: To assess the ability of patients with exudative AMD to detect exudative recurrence. Another objective was to assess if self-monitoring, as currently taught, improves this ability.

Materials And Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the ophthalmology center of BeauSoleil clinic in Montpellier between March 1 and April 1 2016.

Diagnosis and treatment of peripheral exudative haemorrhagic chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: Peripheral exudative haemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) is a rare disorder that is often misdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to better characterise PEHCR and to assess treatment options.

Material And Methods: Retrospective multicentric chart review.

Management Of Glaucoma In Developing Countries: Challenges And Opportunities For Improvement.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the developed and developing world. Not only is the clinical impact of this disease considerable, but associated economic and humanistic burdens - affecting patients, caregivers, and society - are substantial. Since glaucoma is an age-related disorder and populations in many developing countries are aging at a faster pace than in the developed world, increasing attention is being focused on ways to ameliorate the burdens of illness.

RECURRENCES OF RETINAL DETACHMENT AFTER RETINECTOMY: Causes and Outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the different mechanisms of retinal detachment recurrence after retinectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and to study its outcome and prognosis.

Methods: Retrospective, multicenter study conducted between January 2009 and November 2016. Retrospective review of 56 patients with recurrent RD (RRD) after a first relaxing retinectomy.
