Treating age-related macular degeneration: comparing the use of two drugs among medicare and veterans affairs populations.
Health Aff (Millwood)
February 2015
While new biologics have revolutionized the treatment of age-related macular degeneration-the leading cause of severe vision loss among older adults-these new drugs have also raised concerns over the economic impact of medical innovation. The two leading agents are similar in effectiveness but vary greatly in price-up to $2,000 per injection for ranibizumab compared to $50 for bevacizumab. We examined the diffusion of these drugs in fee-for-service Medicare and Veterans Affairs (VA) systems during 2005-11, in part to assess the impact that differing financial incentives had on prescribing.

The immunopathology of giant cell arteritis: diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
J Neuroophthalmol
September 2012
Department of Medicine, and the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an important cause of preventable blindness, most commonly due to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Ischemic tissue injury is the end result of a process that begins within the walls of susceptible arteries in which local dendritic cells (DCs) recruit and activate CD4 T cells that, in turn, direct the activity of effector macrophages. In response to the immune attack, the blood vessel forms lumen-stenosing intima.

Curr Opin Ophthalmol
January 2012
The Byers Eye Institute at Stanford, Palo Alto, California 94303, USA.
Purpose Of Review: To provide a summary of current peer-reviewed publications on the methods of prophylaxis against postcataract endophthalmitis.
Recent Findings: Preoperative application of povidone-iodine remains the standard protocol for the prevention of postoperative endophthalmitis. More recent evidence suggests that intracameral cefuroxime administered at the conclusion of surgery significantly reduces the risk of endophthalmitis.
