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...Principles of contact lens fitting in keratoconus
Keratoconus is an ectatic condition of the cornea characterised by progressive conical distortion with irregular astigmatism, myopia and apical protrusion. Most cases progress slowly resulting in varying degrees of myopic astigmatism. Management of keratoconus includes spectacles, soft contact lenses, a...
Subthreshold micropulse laser in BRVO
The purpose of this retrospective, consecutive, single-centre, non-randomised, and case-control study was to verify the therapeutic effects and safety of oedema (from branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)) recurrence suppression effect using 577-nm subthreshold micropulse laser photocoagulation (SMLP) in combination with...
Does pregnancy cause progression of keratoconus in previously cross-linked corneas?
This is a prospective study involving 24 eyes of 19 patients with stabilised or regressed keratoconus after a successful accelerated cross linking (A-CXL) treatment.
