Intensive diabetes therapy and ocular surgery in type 1 diabetes
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) ran between 1983 and 1993 and showed that intensive glycaemic control was beneficial in reducing diabetic retinopathy in type 1 patients. There was a 76% reduction in onset of retinopathy and a 52%...
Outcomes of ‘treat and extend’ for neovascular AMD
The authors report on 24-month outcomes of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy using a ‘treat and extend’ regime for treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Data for this study was collected from the Fight Retinal Blindness observational registry based...
Aqueous humour cytokine levels in PCV and nAMD
This study looks into the possible roles of various cytokines or growth factors in the pathogenesis of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by comparing aqueous levels of 14 cytokines between eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and those with neovascular...
Uveitis in HIV infected persons
Before the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), uveitis, in particular cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, was the most common cause of visual loss in patients with AIDS. HAART has altered the cause of ocular disease in HIV infected individuals by...
