Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a retinal disorder that is mostly unilateral, and predominantly affects young and middle-aged male patients who are otherwise healthy. It is characterized by leaking fluid through a dysfunctional retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to submacular area resulting
The myopic CNV is a neovascularization starting from the choroid and growing into the space between choroid and retina, based on pathological myopia (severe myopia). Choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathological myopia (mCNV) is the most common cause of severe visual impairment in myopic
This study aims to explore the effect of surgically induced visual and neuro-cognitive defects on patient functioning and quality of life. The aims of this study are:
1. Understand the impact of surgically induced lesions of visual and limbic pathways on quality of life;
2. Determine anatomical
3.1 Background and Rationale AGE-RELATED MACULAR Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among European descended people older than 65 years.
Today, the average life expectancy in developed nations is over 80 years and climbing. And yet, the quality of life during those additional years
The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial about 577nm micropulse laser versus traditional laser coagulation therapy on acute central serous chorioretinopathy. The primary outcome measures is the proportion of eyes with complete absorption of subretinal fluid 3 months after treatment.
Background
Laser photocoagulation of the retina targeting the outer layers is an established therapy for proliferative retinopathy and macular edema from diabetic microangiopathy or retinal vein occlusion, centrals serous retinopathy, and extrafoveal subretinal neovascular membranes. However,
PURPOSE AND DESIGN There is no international consensus on the optimal treatment protocol of chronic CSC. Nevertheless, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as the treatment of choice in many centres worldwide. PDT uses a photosensitive drug, verteporfin (Visudyne®), that is administered once
The research objective is to test the hypothesis that practicing eye-hand coordination using tablet-computers can improve manual skills of those with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD causes the loss of sharp central vision used for reading and many other everyday activities. Those with
Hypothesis
1. That it is safe to treat patients with choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to causes other than age related macular degeneration (AMD) with ranibizumab
2. That treatment of CNV secondary to causes other than AMD with ranibizumab is effective
3. That treatment of pigment
Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) is characterized by a serous detachment of the neurosensory retina in the macular region secondary to a focal or retinal pigment epithelial defect. Patients with ICSC, oftentimes young male adults, experience visual disturbances including micropsia,
Diabetic maculopathy due to diabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the working-age population in developed countries. DME is the swelling of the retina resulting from the exudation and accumulation of extracellular fluid and proteins in the macula. Structural
