Neovascular AMD: fresh recommendations underline standards of best practice

1 December 2013 |
The management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) has advanced dramatically over the past seven years, with the introduction of targeted new therapies that successfully maintain or improve vision in a majority of affected individuals. It’s a fast moving field,...

Ranibizumab versus laser in diabetic macular oedema (LUCIDATE study)

1 October 2014 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
The aim of this study was to compare the functional and structural effects of Ranibizumab versus macular laser treatment in patients with diabetic macular oedema. It was a single centre, prospective, randomised, single masked clinical trial spanning a 48 week...

Prophylaxis for clinical macular oedema after phacoemulsification

1 February 2016 | | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive
The authors report on a retrospective cohort study looking at three different prophylaxis methods for macular oedema after cataract surgery: 1) Topical prednisolone acetate (PA) alone; 2) Topical PA in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID); 3) Intraoperative subconjunctival injection...

The prevalence of macular cysts in patients with clinical cone-rod dystrophy determined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography

1 August 2014 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Cone-rod dystrophy is a progressive photoreceptor disorder which has multiple inheritance patterns. It is rare, with a prevalence of 1 in 40,000. Macular cysts are well recognised in other photoreceptor conditions such as retinitis pigments and choroideraemia, while they are...

Macular pigment and dark adaptation in older population with normal maculas

1 December 2018 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Macular pigment (MP) such as lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are highly concentrated in the fovea. They protect the retina from damage of ambient blue light via antioxidant properties. In older eyes with normal healthy retina, macular pigment optical density (MPOD)...

Macular atrophy and choriocapillaris nonperfusion

1 April 2019 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
This Japanese study compared the choriocapillaris (CC) nonperfusion area as measured on OCTA with areas of macular atrophy (MA) measured by fundus autofluoresence (FAF). A total of 44 eyes were assessed (31 were treated with anti-VEGF alone and 13 had...

Glaucoma and capillary perfusion

1 August 2019 | | EYE - Glaucoma | Glaucoma, OCTA, field of vision, intraocular pressure, macula, optic nerve
Elevated IOP is important but not the sole factor responsible for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and optic nerve damage in glaucoma. There is increasing evidence that visual loss correlates with macular inner retinal thinning. A total of 148 eyes...
