Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
The current hypothesis regarding retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears is the contraction and fibrosis in choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) tissue after anti-VEGF therapy can induce rips in the overlying RPE. This South Korean study aimed to identify the association between RPE...
Intravitreal bevacizumab vs. ranibizumab in the treatment of macular oedema due to BRVO
This is a randomised, prospective, non-inferiority trial of 75 patients with macular oedema due to a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) who received intravitreal injections of ranibizumab or bevacizumab after 1:1 block randomisation. This study is to measure the difference...Retinal pigment epithelium tears
