Diabetic macular edema, aflibercept, optical coherence tomography, predictive, ranibizumab
This study aimed to identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers for predicting response to anti-VEGF treatment in diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Bilateral DMO patients with asymmetric response to a loading dose of anti-VEGF (ranibizumab / aflibercept) treatment were retrospectively studied....

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
In this retrospective, observational case series, the authors set out to evaluate the morphology of the superficial and deep capillary plexa of eyes that suffered a retinal vein occlusion (RVO) on OCT angiography (OCTA) and compare the findings with fluorescein...
Hyper reflective foci (HRF) on OCT in diabetic retinopathy
1 April 2015
| Saruban Pasu
|
EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
This study investigated the presence of hyper reflective foci (HRF) in asymptomatic patients affected by type 1 or type 2 diabetes, separately, without clinically significant diabetic macular oedema and visual impairment. In total 71 eyes with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy were...

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
In this prospective study the authors evaluate the effect of intravitreal aflibercept injections in the treatment of naive type 3 neovascularisation using a fixed treatment regime. Fourteen eyes of 14 patients were studied. All patients were treated with intravitreal 2.0...
Sickle cell eye disease: an overview of vitreoretinal complications and their surgical management

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disorder worldwide and is associated with lifelong anaemia, intermittent pain and multi-organ morbidity. Ocular involvement can be associated with significant visual impairment due to the complications of proliferative sickle retinopathy (PSR). Occasionally...
25 years of OCT
David Huang first described optical coherence tomography (OCT) in 1991, in his seminal paper on the subject in Science. This method developed the work of others on ophthalmic interferometry, which essentially showed that measuring reflected light could be used to...
Fluorescein angiography and OCT in myopic CNV

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Fluorescein angiography (FA) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) are the most common examinations used in the management of anti-VEGF therapy in choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). In comparison to FA, OCT provides a noninvasive evaluation of the macula. Myopic CNV are...
