Systemic pharmacology of intravitreal anti-VEGF

This study aimed to evaluate and compare serum drug concentrations and plasma free-VEGF concentrations in patients with AMD, DME, or RVO receiving intravitreal injections of aflibercept, bevacizumab or ranibizumab. This prospective study enrolled patients from several offices of a single...

OCT positioning regimen in macular hole surgery

The authors set out to evaluate an OCT-based positioning regimen for macular hole surgery. Patients were advised to maintain prone positioning until the hole was confirmed to be closed based on daily OCTs. Surgery consisted of 23-gauge phacovitrectomy with internal...

Timing of vitrectomy for retained lens fragments

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of same setting vitrectomy with delayed vitrectomy for retained lens fragments following cataract surgery. Same setting vitrectomy was defined as the patient not leaving the operating table following cataract surgery....

OCTA and pigment epithelium detachments

Yannuzzi et al. report on their study aiming to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to differentiate vascularised from nonvascularised pigment epithelium detachments (PEDs) using conventional imaging techniques, including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green (ICG),...

Type 3 CNV and anti-VEGF

The purpose of the study was to determine the differences between aflibercept and ranibizumab in terms of their therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of Type 3 neovascularisation. The authors highlight that the dominant mechanism for Type 3 neovascularisation development is...

Retrospective review of visual outcomes in Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by headache and papilloedema that can lead to significant visual morbidity. IIH is diagnosed by the modified Dandy criteria, which include normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, high CSF opening...

ILM peeling techniques in myopic traction maculopathy

Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) is a sight-threatening complication of high myopia including macular retinoschisis (MRS) or foveoschisis, foveal detachment (FD) and myopic macular hole (MMH). Standard surgical treatment is vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, but full-thickness macular hole...
