background: cystoid macular edema (cme) is one of the most common and sight threatening complications of uveitis. intravitreal injection of corticosteroids and anti-vegf antibody are two routine options for treatment. objective: to compare the effects of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of persistent macular edema in non-infectious uveitis. me...

purpose: to evaluate the adverse effects of intravitreal injection of sterile chloramphenicol eye drops on corneal endothelial cells of donated corneas. methods: 100 donor corneas were enrolled in the study. one eye of each donor underwent intravitreal injection of sterile chloramphenicol eye drops following vitreous tap and the fellow eyes were served as controls. after corneo-scleral excision...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether intravitreal dexamethasone administration can alter the elimination of intravitreal vancomycin hydrochloride in rabbit eyes with experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae endophthalmitis. METHODS Albino rabbits were infected with an intravitreal inoculum of S pneumoniae (2 x 10(3) colony-forming units) and randomized after 24 hours to treatment with intravitreal van...

purpose: to compare repeated intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (ivb) with triamcinolone acetonide (ivt) for treatment of acute branch retinal vein occlusion (brvo). methods: this randomized clinical trial included, 86 eyes with recent onset (less than 12 weeks) brvo. participants were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: the ivb group (43 eyes) consisted of patients who received mont...

The burden of intravitreal injections has increased tremendously over the past few years. Since traditionally the operation theatre setup is currently used for this procedure, it is increasingly becoming difficult to manage such a patient load in the theatres. To overcome this challenge, office-based setup for intravitreal injection was started. This study was planned to determine the incidence...

Herein, we report a case of nasal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) with intraocular involvement. A 57-year-old woman was referred due to a three-day history of photophobia and diplopia in the left eye. One-month previously, she was diagnosed with nasal NKTL of the right nasal cavity. Ophthalmic examination revealed conjunctival injection and ptosis. The left pupil was fully dilated and non...

Macular edema (ME) is one of the eventual outcomes of various intraocular and systemic pathologies. The pathogenesis for ME is not yet entirely understood; however, some of the common risk factors for its development have been identified. While this investigation will not discuss the numerous etiologies of ME in detail, it appraises the two most widely studied delivery modalities of intraocular...
