Diclofenac versus Bromfenac after cataract surgery
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used after cataract surgery to reduce inflammation and cystoid macular oedema (CMO). Diclofenac 0.1% is used three to five times daily for 28 days and Bromfenac 0.09% twice daily for 14 days postoperatively. The...
Effect of heredity on risk of diabetic retinopathy
This study used survival analysis on 2199 patients who had reached vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy to investigate the contribution of heredity to diabetes together with other known risk factors for the development of either proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or diabetic macular...
ABCA1 mediates lipid efflux in the retina
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population. There are two forms of AMD, dry and wet, the latter so named because of the presence of choroidal neovascularisation. Both forms lead to retinal pigment...
Treatment of Type 1 ROP with intravitreal bevacizumab or laser photocoagulation according to retinal zone
This is a retrospective review of charts of 54 consecutive very low birth weight (VLBW) infants between June 2011 and January 2015 from Berlin, Germany. Type 1 ROP (posterior ROP, n=33; peripheral zone 2, n= 21) were treated with either...
Orbital abscess following posterior subtenon steroid injection
The authors report a case of orbital cellulitis following posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide. A 57-year-old male patient with a background of complicated cataract surgery underwent vitrectomy with explantation of dislocated intraocular lens and insertion of anterior chamber lens....
Monofixation syndrome following cataract extraction
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that interruption of macular fusion for an extended period of time is the key event that results in the development of monofixation syndrome in children and adults. This was a retrospective review of...
Importing iron to the retina
In the retina, iron is particularly critical for the visual phototransduction cascade. In the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), RPE65 activity leads to 11-cis-retinaldehyde, the photosensitive component of rhodopsin production and iron containing enzymes are necessary for disc replacement in photoreceptor...
Treat and extend for PCV
This South Korean study investigated the efficacy of a treat and extend regimen (TER) using ranibizumab to treat polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Twenty-nine eyes were included in this retrospective case note review. Of these, five eyes had been treated with...
Occurrence and risk factors for RD after PPV in acute postcataract bacterial endophthalmitis
This is a prospective multicentre study from France between March 2004 to December 2011 in four university hospitals; 123 consecutive patients treated with pars planar vitrectomy (PPV) were included in this cohort. The rate of retinal detachment (RD) of post-PPV...
Screening for hydroxychloroquine retinopathy
The American Academy of Ophthalmology has updated the recommendations for screening for hydroxychloroquine retinopathy based on new scientific evidence that toxicity is not rare when hydroxychloroquine is used long-term, and that risk is dependent on the daily dose by weight....
Automated Bruckner device accuracy
The authors developed a Bruckner device, examined volunteers and determined the relation between the luminance of the red fundus reflex and eye rotation. Eye rotation was varied continuously both horizontally (-7 to 8 degrees) and vertically (five degree total range)...
