Retina Consultants of Texas, Retina Consultants of America, Houston, Texas, United States.
Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial investigated the safety and effectiveness of 2 mg intravitreal aflibercept injections for treating radiation retinopathy (RR)-related macular edema, which can lead to vision loss after ocular radiation therapy.
- The study involved 39 patients divided into two groups, with one group receiving a loading dose of injections followed by a regular treatment schedule; the primary measure was changes in visual acuity.
- Results showed a modest improvement in visual acuity and significant reduction in central retinal thickness, indicating potential benefits of aflibercept, but larger studies are required to confirm these results.

Retina Consultants of Texas, Retina Consultants of America, Houston, TX 77401, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Limited data exists on the presentation and surgical outcomes of idiopathic macular holes (IMH) across different ethnic and racial groups, highlighting the need for further research.
- A study analyzed medical records from patients who had IMH surgery between 2016 and 2022, focusing on self-reported ethnicity (Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic) and race (Asian, Black, White, and Other).
- Results showed that Hispanic patients presented with larger mean minimum linear diameter (MLD) and worse preoperative visual acuity, indicating disparities in severity and healthcare access compared to non-Hispanics and White patients.
