The second eye of Japanese patients with unilateral exudative age related macular degeneration.
AIM To clarify the incidence of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and predisposing findings for development of CNV in the second eye of Japanese patients with unilateral exudative age related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS The second eyes of unilaterally affected patients with exudative (neovascular) AMD treated in our clinic during the past 10 years (1988-97) were carefully followed up...
متن کاملSeverity of age-related macular degeneration in 1 eye and the incidence and progression of age-related macular degeneration in the fellow eye: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
IMPORTANCE Previous studies regarding the severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 1 eye and its prognostic implications for the fellow eye have focused on the incidence of neovascular AMD in the fellow eye of participants with neovascular AMD in the other eye. It is unclear to what extent the severity of AMD in 1 eye affects the incidence, progression, and regression of AMD in its...
متن کاملFoveal cone ERGs in fellow eyes of patients with unilateral neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE To determine whether fellow eyes with normal visual acuity of patients with unilateral neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have retinal malfunction. METHODS Foveal cone electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded from fellow eyes with visual acuities of 20/25 or better of 73 patients with unilateral neovascular AMD and from 28 normal volunteers of comparable age. Responses ...
متن کاملChoroidal blood flow and progression of age-related macular degeneration in the fellow eye in patients with unilateral choroidal neovascularization.
PURPOSE Cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and atherosclerosis seem to play an important role in the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Recent studies have also provided evidence suggesting that choroidal and retinal blood flow is decreased in patients with AMD. On the basis of these results, the hypothesis for this study was that lower choroidal blood fl...
