After 13 days of treatment, she developed continuous visual illusions upon waking in the morning; when looking at human faces, they were distorted and swollen. On many occasions, objects in front of her appeared to be either nearer or farther away. These visual phenomena persisted for approximately 12 hours and gradually disappeared with th...

PURPOSE To analyze the correlation between morphological and functional results 12 months after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. METHODS 31 eyes from 31 consecutive patients with metamorphopsia and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) below 20/32 underwent a transconjunctival 23- gauge vitrectomy with ERM and internal limiting membrane peeling. Preoperatively and 3, 6 and 12 months postopera...

PURPOSE To investigate how the multifocal electroretinogram (ERG) is altered in conditions of blocking, light scattering, or distortion of the stimulus that are seen in ocular pathologies. METHODS A central 40 degree-diameter stimulus pattern consisting of 61 hexagons was presented on a cathode ray tube monitor at a rate of 75 Hz according to the pseudo-random binary M sequence by the Veris c...

BACKGROUND To present a coincidence of macular telangiectasia type 2 and solitary retinal astrocytic hamartoma in one patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 50-year-old woman was examined in the Department of Ophthalmology of University hospital Kralovske Vinohrady for complaints of metamorphopsia in her left eye. Her uncorrected visual acuity (VA) was 4/4 on Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study ...

The aim of the current study was to determine the association between fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) image results, optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging results and visual functions in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs). A total of 80 eyes from 40 patients diagnosed with ERM were analyzed. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and metamorphopsia were measured using t...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Light-chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare condition characterised by deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains (LCs) in tissues, resulting in varying degrees of organ dysfunction. This study reports the characteristic clinical ocular findings seen in advanced LCDD upon development of ocular fundus changes. This is the first report to describe this entity in v...

PURPOSE This is a report of a case of choroidal excavation accompanied by polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED). METHODS A 57-year-old Japanese woman who had begun complaining of metamorphopsia in her left eye 7 months earlier underwent spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and indocyanine green a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal Ranibizumab as treatment for choroidal neovascularisation due to pathological myopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, non-comparative study of 18 eyes treated with intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab. Ten eyes had been treated previously with photodynamic therapy and eight received Ranibizumab as first therapy. After thorough ophtha...
