Management of macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion with intravitreal injections of pegaptanib sodium
2009
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of Pegaptanib Sodium as single therapy for macular edema due to non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods In this uncontrolled prospective pilot study 17 patients have been included with non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion. All of them showed macular edema in the OCT with central foveal thickness higher than 350 microns (mean, 541 +/- 140) and decrease in visual acuity lower than 0,5 Snellen ETDRS charts notation (mean, 0,16+/-0,14). After an initial injection of Pegaptanib Sodium evaluations were programmed every 5 weeks and further retreatments were developed in cases with macular thickness higher than 300 microns. No other therapies were …
Vision-related function in the COPERNICUS and GALILEO trials
2014
Purpose To examine the impact of intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL) injection on the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ) in the COPERNICUS and GALILEO trials. Methods Patients (pts) with macular oedema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion received IVT-AFL 2 mg (IVT-AFL 2q4) or sham monthly for 24 weeks. After Week 24 (W24) in COPERNICUS all pts were eligible to receive IVT-AFL based on visual and anatomical outcomes (IVT-AFL 2q4+PRN, sham+IVT-AFL PRN). In GALILEO, sham-treated pts received sham tx until W52. The NEI VFQ was administered at baseline (BL), W24 and W52. Total and subscale scores were compared between groups. W24 data were integrated an…
Optical quality of hyperopic and myopic phakic intraocular lenses
2013
Aims: To assess and compare the optical quality of the myopic and hyperopic implantable collamer lens (ICL) from its wavefront aberrations for different powers and pupil diameters. Settings and Design: Prospective study. Material and Methods: The wavefront aberrations of two myopic (−3 and −6 diopters (D)) and two hyperopic V4b ICLs (+3 and +6D) were measured in vitro . To assess and compare the optical quality of different powers of ICLs, we analyzed the root mean square (RMS) of total higher order aberrations (HOAs), trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration at 3- and 4.5-mm pupil. In addition, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each ICL evaluated were ca…
