Published in Archivos de la Sociedad Espanola de Oftalmologia
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of blindness in developed countries, particularly in older adults. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injection is the current standard treatment for neovascular form of AMD.

Retinitis pigmentosa as a clinical presentation of LCHAD deficiency: A clinical case and review of the literature.
Published in Archivos de la Sociedad Espanola de Oftalmologia
Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare metabolic disease caused by a specific mutation in the HADHA gene, which leads to an alteration in the metabolic pathway of fatty acids. Its most frequent form of presentation at the ophthalmological level is retinitis pigmentosa, and in some cases the ophthalmologist could be the firs...
