Filter by:This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from macular edema and other disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows one to see blood vessels in the retina. The investigating team used this approach in patients with acute, recurrent and persistent subtypes of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) to check for possible Choriocapillaris hypoperfusion. The presence or absence of these microvascular changes was explored in both eyes of the patients and compared to a control group of healthy volunteers. The possibility of a correlation between Choriocapillaris flow deficits, age and spontaneous resolution of serous retinal detachment was also evaluated. This study was conducted in an effort to improve one's understanding of this disease and other pachychoroid disorders.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective retina therapy (SRT) using R:GEN, an approved laser device, in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy.
To determine changes in retinal and choroidal capillaries with optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) after half-dose photodynamic therapy (hd-PDT) in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Examine the efficacy of brinzolamide for the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy
OCTA-guided PDT is as safe and effective as ICGA-guided PDT in the treatment of acute central serous chorioretinopathy. Or OCTA-guided PDT is more effective than ICGA-guided PDT in the treatment of acute central serous chorioretinopathy, safe as well.
Selective retina therapy (SRT) selectively disrupts the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with minimal damage to the photoreceptors. Previous studies have shown SRT to be effective for resolving SRF, while causing only minimal collateral damage to the retina and vision.However, most patients included in prior studies had chronic CSC (≥3 months symptom duration) and SRT efficacy on acute CSC is not fully known. The current study evaluated short-term treatment outcomes following SRT with real-time feedback-controlled dosimetry in Korean patients with acute idiopathic CSC.
Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) is a relatively frequently occurring eye disease that is often diagnosed in patients in the professionally active age range. In this disease, a subretinal fluid accumulation occurs, due to abnormalities in both the choroid and the retinal pigment epithelium. This specific form of macular degeneration can cause permanent vision loss, image distortion, and loss of color and contrast vision. An early diagnosis and treatment may improve the visual outcome and quality of life. To date there is no international consensus on the optimal treatment of cCSC. Many retrospective studies suggest that treatment with photodynamic therapy (PDT) is effective in chronic CSC. Treatment with oral eplerenone may also be effective in this disease. In this proposed prospective randomized controlled trial, cCSC patients will be randomized into one of both treatment groups: either half-dose PDT or oral eplerenone treatment. The trial is a superiority study, because retrospective studies suggest that PDT treatment may be more effective than eplerenone treatment. The null hypothesis of the study is that PDT treatment is more effective than eplerenone treatment in patients with active cCSC. The alternative hypothesis is that PDT treatment is not superior to eplerenone treatment. Treatment success will not only be based on characteristics on ophthalmological imaging, but also on functional endpoints (both on the outcome of questionnaires, best-corrected visual acuity, and microperimetry), which are most important from a patient's perspective. The study will take place in 3 large tertiary referral university hospitals in The Netherlands that have extensive experience with conducting clinical trials (Academic Medical Center (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), Radboud University Medical Center (Nijmegen, the Netherlands), and Leiden University Medical Center (Leiden, the Netherlands). Both the Radboud University Medical Center and the Leiden University Medical Center have been involved in the first prospective randomized controlled trial that is currently conducted in cCSC. This study will last 2 years per participant. Each participant will visit the outpatient clinic for a maximum number of 6 visits. A total number of 107 patients will be included in the trial. Depending on the speed of inclusion of patients in this trial, the total duration of this study can be determined.
This study aims to assess the contribution of the multimodal imaging, combining a routine examination using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) with an imaging procedure using adaptive optics retinal camera. This is a feasibility study with a limited number of patients.
Purpose: Central serous retinopathy (CSCR) is characterized by macular detachment due to thickened choroid mostly affecting young men under perceived stress. While most previous studies in CSCR have been retrospective and have focused on a single facet of the patient's personality, the investigators conducted a prospective intercontinental controlled study to analyze the multifaceted personality profile in CSCR. Design: Prospective interview. Participants and Controls: Subjects with CSCR consented to participate in a questionnaire. Controls not having retinal disease were recruited from the same clinic. Main Outcome Measures: The main parameters registered were presence of stress, daily number of cups caffeine intake, personality traits (Type A; obsessive-compulsive; aggressive). Methods: The interview consisted of a 60-item questionnaire. Recruitment of participants was from January 2015 to February 2016. Controls were matched for age, gender and race. Statistical analyses were done using univariate and multivariate analysis.
