PURPOSE To investigate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections for macular edema secondary to acute branch retinal vein occlusion on the retinal microcirculation. METHODS The study was a prospective, interventional case series. Central macular thickness using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and retinal blood flow (RBF) in untreated eyes with macular edema secondar...

PURPOSE To identify the retinal layer predominantly affected in eyes with subclinical and clinical macular edema in diabetes type 2. METHODS A cohort of 194 type 2 diabetic eyes/patients with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (ETDRS levels 20/35) were examined with Cirrus spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the baseline visit (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01145...

purpose: to determine if intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide is safe and effective in the treatment of diabetic macular edema unresponsive to prior laser photocoagulation. methods: fifty-four eyes of 38 patients with clinically significant macular edema which had received at least two sessions of laser photocoagulation according to early treatment diabetic retinopathy study guidel...

PURPOSE To describe an association between extrafoveal vitreoretinal traction and intractable chronic pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) by the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS In a retrospective case series study, charts and OCT findings of patients who had postoperative recalcitrant pseudophakic CME for at least 6 months and vitreoretinal traction membranes were anal...

diabetic macular edema (dme) is a leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population worldwide. numerous early studies suggest an important role for intravitreal anti-vegf agents such as bevacizumab in the management of dme. we reviewed manuscripts that had investigated pharmacokinetic, efficacy, safety, dose and frequency of intravitreal bevacizumab (ivb) injections as well as effect o...
