EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common vascular disorder of the eye. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroids have proven efficacy. Posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) adhesion has been shown to support the development of retinal vein...
Vigabatrin-induced retinal toxicity detected by 30Hz ERG
The purpose of this study was to assess the role of 30Hz flicker electroretinogram (ERG) as a marker for measuring changes in visual function over time in children receiving vigabatrin. This was an observational study of 11 children with mean...Patient reported outcomes in adolescents with inherited retinal diseases

Cystoid macular edema, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery
There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...
