Purpose:
To identify systemic and/or ophthalmologic predictors of proliferative sickle retinopathy.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study comparing clinical, laboratory, and structural choriorretinal aspects between sickle cell disease patients with and without proliferative retinopathy. Patients underwent complete systemic and ophthalmologic evaluatio...
Purpose
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound cycloplasty procedures (UCP) in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma.
Methods
Prospective longitudinal study with UCP was performed by EyeOP1© probe with 8 s duration on 6 or 8 sectors, according to baseline intraocular pressure (IOP). Complete ophthalmic examination was performed pre- and p...
Purpose: To assess the accuracy of the ROPScore algorithm as a predictor of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by the second week of life.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 239 preterm infants with a gestational age (GA)≤32 weeks and/or birthweight (BW)≤1500 g. No ROP, any stage of ROP and severe ROP requiring treatment were categ...
We hereby describe a rare case of unilateral sphenoid wing dysplasia nonassociated with neurofibromatosis, which presented with pulsating proptosis with resting enophthalmos and with Valsalva‑induced exophthalmos.
Keywords: Pulsating proptosis, sphenoid wing dysplasia, valsalva exophthalmos
Introduction
Image processing of optical coherence tomography scans through binarization techniques represent a non-invasive way to separately asses and measure choroidal components, in vivo. In this review, we systematically search the scientific literature regarding binarization studies published so far.
Methods
A systematic research was conduct...
Purpose: To review the effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in severe ocular surface pathologies (OSP).
Introduction: The AMT is performed in severe OSP as support for proliferation of stem cells and reepithelialisation of the cornea, permitting a return to anatomic integrity, a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in best c...
Two patients with refractory glaucoma followed in our ophthalmology department registered progression on left eyes (OS) despite best practice. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 9/10 and 8/10 and intraocular pressure (IOP) was above 20 mm Hg while under maximal hypotensive therapy. The procedure was performed under retrobulbar anaesthesia with...
A 65-year-old man was referred to our department with complaints of blurred vision in the left eye. Funduscopic examination revealed areas of retinochoroidal atrophy along the retinal veins bilaterally and bone spicule pigmentation along the nasal and superior temporal venous branches, as well as macular oedema in the left eye. Fluorescein angiogra...
Purpose: This study aimed to assess five intraocular lens (IOL) formula refractive outcomes in eyes with extreme axial length (AL) in the day-to-day practice of a secondary care center.
Design: This is a retrospective consecutive case series.
Methods: From all uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgeries performed during 2018 (n = 1528), eyes...
Purpose: To identify changes in choroidal structure in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR) after 1 year of follow‐up.
Methods: Prospective observational cohort study in which 125 diabetic patients without DR were included. Patients received a complete ophthalmologic evaluation including optical coherence tomography scans (SD‐OCT)...
