Adjuvant intravitreal dexamethasone implant for persistent CME
In this retrospective, cross-sectional study the authors investigate the efficiency of intravitreal dexamethasone implants (0.7mg) for cystoid macular oedema (CME) persisting, despite immunomodulatory treatment in patients with Behcets’ disease (BD). Twenty-seven eyes of 20 patients (12 males and eight females)...
RPE atrophy onset in treated nAMD
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the role of various factors for the development of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy over a period of five years in patients with nAMD. Fifty-two newly diagnosed nAMD patients with complete absence...
Retinoschisis
In this retrospective study the authors evaluate the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for lamellar macular hole (LMH) with or without macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes. Twenty-one highly myopic patients (22 eyes)...
Intravitreal aflibercept for retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP)
In this prospective study the authors present the visual and anatomical outcome of patients with RAP lesions who were treated with intravitreal aflibercept. The study cohort of 46 patients reached study completion at week 96. They were all Caucasians, with...
Results of fixed aflibercept treatment regime in type 3 neovascularisation
In this prospective study the authors evaluate the effect of intravitreal aflibercept injections in the treatment of naive type 3 neovascularisation using a fixed treatment regime. Fourteen eyes of 14 patients were studied. All patients were treated with intravitreal 2.0...
VIBIM Study: One-year results of treatment of DME with aflibercept using TnE
The VIBIM study (the treat-and-extend regimen (TER) using intravitreal aflibercept in diabetic macular edema (DME) study) was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the TER using aflibercept in the management of DME for a period of two years. The authors...
Microvasculature changes of mCNV after ranibizumab treatment using OCTA
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the vascular changes of myopic choroidal neovascularisation (mCNV) after ranibizumab treatment using optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCTA). The 3×3 OCTA en face images were analysed for the absence / presence of mCNV, CNV...
Rebound phenomenon after IVT triamcinolone acetonide for macular oedema
In this retrospective study, the authors report the rebound phenomenon after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injection for macular oedema secondary to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central (CRVO) or branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The incidence of a rebound phenomenon was...
