Glaucoma and capillary perfusion

1 August 2019 | | Glaucoma | Glaucoma, OCTA, field of vision, intraocular pressure, macula, optic nerve

Elevated IOP is important but not the sole factor responsible for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and optic nerve damage in glaucoma. There is increasing evidence that visual loss correlates with macular inner retinal thinning. A total of 148 eyes...

Control of bleeding with diabetic vitrectomy under air

1 August 2019 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Air-perfused membrane dissection, fibrovascular membrane, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitrectomy

The authors describe a modified diabetic vitrectomy using continuous air infusion in diabetic eyes with severe fibrovascular proliferation. In their case series of 25 eyes (20 patients), intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25mg) was used one week prior to surgery. Fifteen eyes had...

Vitrectomy in retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment

1 June 2019 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Large case series, choroidal detachment, prognostic factors, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitrectomy

Hypotony, posterior retinal breaks, longer axial lengths and total retinal detachments (RD) are risk factors for development of RD associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD). This study retrospectively analysed the anatomic outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy in 175 patients with...
