endophthalmitis/edema

OBJECTIVE To report a patient with an initial presentation of optic disk edema secondary to Propionibacterium acnes endophthalmitis. METHODS Interventional case report. The patient had surgery and treatment related to endophthalmitis. Nine months after cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens

We present the case of a 39-year-old female patient with cystoid macular edema of the left eye in the context of sympathetic ophthalmia. The right eye underwent several surgical interventions of both cornea and retina after ocular trauma and was enucleated after first clinical signs compatible with

Objective: To describe a series of prompt endoscopic vitrectomy in eyes with post-trauma endophthalmitis and hazy cornea. Methods: Retrospective consecutive interventional case

BACKGROUND The major cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients is macular edema. The failure of laser photocoagulation in a large subgroup of patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema has prompted interest in other treatment methods. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of the intravitreal dexamethasone implant as the treatment for recalcitrant macular edema after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records was performed on 17 consecutive patients (17 eyes) with

A significant percentage of patients with diabetic macular edema respond poorly to conventional laser photocoagulation. One associated factor in such patients with refractory diabetic macular edema is the absence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Several invasive methods, such as surgical

OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME) in the short-term. METHODS Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS Medical records of 20 eyes of 19 patients who underwent intravitreal injections of bevacizumab for

OBJECTIVE Relatively little data exist regarding the outcomes of children with primary infantile glaucoma presenting with acute corneal hydrops. The aim of our study was to determine the surgical outcome of children of infantile glaucoma who presented with acute corneal hydrops. METHODS In total, 38

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and removal of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) with three, monthly, intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections for refractory diabetic macular edema. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized,

OBJECTIVE To study the safety and efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in patients with cataract and macular edema undergoing phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS Twenty-four eyes with macular edema secondary to diabetic retinopathy (diabetic macular edema

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema. We also compared the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone with macular grid laser photocoagulation in macular

OBJECTIVE Macular edema is an important cause of visual loss in various retinal diseases, and may be refractory to conventional treatment. We investigated the efficacy of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of intractable macular edema. METHODS A prospective study was

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of primary and secondary (following grid laser photocoagulation) intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injection for the treatment of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS Eyes with macular edema secondary to BRVO and

BACKGROUND The intravitreal dexamethasone implant has shown efficacy in the treatment of macular edema (ME) arising after retinal venous occlusions (central or branch), and in the treatment of non-infectious uveitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this implant in the
