DRIL after macular oedema treatment in BRVO

1 June 2019 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment, Branch retinal vein occlusion, Disorganization of the retinal inner layer, Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, Visual acuity

The authors report the analysis of a single-site, retrospective, cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between disorganisation of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and visual acuity (VA) after anti-VEGF treatment for macular oedema (MO) due to branch retinal vein occlusion...

Does Ozurdex affect perfusion status in vein occlusion?

1 October 2018 | | Cataract and Refractive | intravitreal dexamethasone implant, peripheral nonperfusion, retinal vein occlusion, wide-field fluorescein angiography

Ozurdex (intravitreal dexamethasone implant) has been approved by National Institute of Health & Care Excellence (NICE) for treatment of patients with macular oedema associated with vein occlusion. This study looks at the change in peripheral perfusion status in patients with...

Are retinal vein occlusions seasonal? And if so why might that be?

1 June 2015 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Central retinal vein occlusion, Sweden, incidence, seasonality, vitamin D

Some studies have reported a strong seasonal pattern to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurrence with a peak in January, but other studies have failed to replicate this finding. The authors sought to determine data for Stockholm’s seasonal variation in...
