To compare the outcomes of vitrectomy with removal of an idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) in the myopic eyes with long axial length (AL) to that in the eyes with normal AL. This was a retrospective, observational, case-control study. Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with an idiopathic ERM were studied. Twenty-eight of these eyes had an axial lengt...
To examine the prognostic value of the extent of damage to the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM) in response to the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eyes switched from ranibizumab to aflibercept. This is a retrospective study of patients with neovascular AMD resistant to ranibizumab defined as having persis...
Ocular inflammation resulting from a lens pathology is rare in the absence of a cataract or lens trauma because of the lens' immune privilege. The lens can be a source of ocular inflammation when the capsule is broken or when lens proteins leak out through an intact capsule. These uveitides are termed lens-induced uveitis (LIU) and are often associ...
The goal of this study was to analyze the incidence of perioperative bleeding complications in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The handling of perioperative anticoagulation during vitreoretinal surgery remains controversial, since the risk of bleeding complications by its continuation has to be balanced against the risk of progression of retinal...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of consecutive strabismus after infantile nystagmus surgery and its potential risk factors. A retrospective study including 89 patients was conducted. Patients presented infantile nystagmus (idiopathic or ocular disease-associated nystagmus) without previous or coincidental strabismus. Sex, age at ...
To investigate the difference in the rate of myopia progression between the dominant and non-dominant eye in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 33 patients who underwent surgery and later reoperation for IXT. We included only patients whose spherical equivalent refractive errors (SER) were...
To identify whether there are functional abnormalities in the retina of amblyopic eyes using multifocal electroretinography (mfERG). This is a prospective study of patients ≥ 7 years of age identified with unilateral amblyopia (strabismic or anisometropic). Multifocal ERG and flash ERG were performed to compare parameters between the amblyopic and ...
Canaloplasty is a well-established non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. Unsuccessful outcomes can be enhanced by micro-invasive 360° suture trabeculotomy (360°trabeculotomy), analyzed in this study. This retrospective study included twenty eyes of 19 patients, mean age 59.7±17.2 years, with primary open-angle glaucoma (POWG n = 14), pseudoexfoliation ...
