OBJECTIVE To evaluate intraretinal anatomy in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using high-speed ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography (hsUHR-OCT) before and 1 month after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab. DESIGN Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS Twelve eyes of 12 patients. METHODS A broad bandwidth superluminescent diode laser light sou...

purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy and posterior hyaloid stripping in decreasing macular thickness and improving vision in diabetic macular edema.          methods: this prospective interventional case series includes 30 eyes of 25 diabetic patients with diabetic macular edema with macular thickness exceeding 170 microns and thickened posterior hyaloid. bcva and mac...

Purpose To report the 12-month efficacy and safety outcomes of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept in macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods Interventional case series documenting 12-month outcomes of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept (1.25 mg in 0.05 mL) in 6 patients with treatment-naive macular edema secondary to CRVO. All patients had comprehensive ophthalmic examin...

PURPOSE To explore changes in central macular thickness (CMT) after a two-month period of glaucoma therapy with topical latanoprost after uneventful phacoemulsification. METHODS Forty-one eyes of 31 patients with primary open angle or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma who required glaucoma medications after cataract surgery were prospectively enrolled. All eyes had undergone uneventful phacoemulsifi...

PURPOSE To compare change of macular thickness after uneventful cataract surgery and after cataract surgery complicated with vitreous loss, using optic coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent cataract surgery complicated with posterior capsular tear participated in this retrospective study (Group 2). The fellow eyes of those patients who underwent uneventf...

The aim of the study was to evaluate macular thickness and macular volume in unilateral and bilateral exfoliation syndrome and to compare them with exfoliative glaucoma and control eyes using optical coherence tomography. This prospective study included 114 subjects (228 eyes) divided into 4 groups according to the presence of exfoliation: 30 patients with unilateral syndrome, 24 patients with ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy and safety of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab in the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Prospective study, noncomparative, interventional case series. Twelve consecutive patients (12 eyes) with macular edema associated with nonischemic retinal vein occlusion were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg). A...

PURPOSE To study the visual and anatomic outcome of intravitreal bevacizumab injection in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Retrospective review of patients who received one or more intravitreal bevacizumab injections for exudative AMD. Outcome measures include standardized visual acuity, optical coherence tomography (OCT), macular thickness and volume...

Purpose. To evaluate the feasibility of using Mechanical Turk as a massively parallel platform to perform manual segmentations of macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images using a MapReduce framework. Methods. A macular SD-OCT volume of 61 slice images was map-distributed to Amazon Mechanical Turk. Each Human Intelligence Task was set to $0.01 and required the user to...
