BACKGROUND To determine the outcome of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in pre-existing glaucoma and the predisposing factors of developing neovascular glaucoma (NVG). METHODS We retrospectively assessed a pre-existing glaucoma CRVO group and a non-glaucoma CRVO group to elucidate the demographics, clinical course and ocular parameters of these two cohorts. Among the pre-existing glaucom...

Objective: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular diseases after diabetic retinopathy. Delay in detection and treatment can result irreversible visual impairment blindness. The aim of this study was to assess magnitude clinical pattern patients with RVO presentedd retina clinic at University Gondar Tertiary Eye Care Training Centre Methods: A hospital based Cros...

BACKGROUND 5-Fluorouracil, an antimetabolic agent, improves the success rate of trabeculectomies by inhibiting subconjunctival fibrosis. However, complications may be associated with early postoperative use. We investigated the outcome of needling revision with delayed subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering blebs after a trabeculectomy in patients with medically poorly controlled g...

PURPOSE Transforming growth factor-beta2 is known to be present at elevated levels in the aqueous humor of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and diabetes but not in uveitis-related secondary glaucoma. We investigated total TGF-beta2 levels and levels of the active form of TGF-beta2 in the aqueous humor of eyes with different types of glaucoma. METHODS The concentration of the t...

Takayasu's disease is an idiopathic inflammatory arteriopathy involving the aorta and its main branches. Symptoms are related to vascular insufficiency of affected organs, especially the brain, eye, heart and kidneys. Major ocular complications consist of ischaemic retinopathy, complicated cataract and neovascular glaucoma. The definite diagnosis can be established by carotid doppler study or a...

PURPOSE To report a case of adult retinoblastoma with a wrong diagnosis of melanoma. CASE REPORT Herein, we present an adult retinoblastoma case who was misdiagnosed as melanoma in fine-needle aspiration biopsy with intravitreal hemorrhage and later neovascular glaucoma after biopsy. The diagnosis of retinoblastoma was confirmed after enucleation. CONCLUSION Retinoblastoma should be conside...

purpose: to evaluate visual outcomes and intraocular pressure (iop) after single-site phacotrabeculectomy with mitomycin c in patients with senile cataract and primary open angle glaucoma (poag), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pxg), or chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: in this retrospective study, patients older than 50 years who had significant cataracts (bcva £ 20/60) and uncontrol...
