Filter by:This study will evaluate patients with diagnosis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in pachychoroid treated with combined therapy, consisting in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and 3 intravitreal therapy (IVT) of Aflibercept monthly. This is a single center, prospective case-series study. The investigators are going to evaluate Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA), disease activity, retinal and choroidal thicknesses and number of injection per year, during a twelve month follow up. The aim of this study is to verify if the combined therapy can act on the insult induced by the pachychoroid and on the neovascular lesion itself in this sub-population of patients with PCV in pachychoroid,
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia (PM-CNV) is a common vision-threatening complication and often affects adults of working age. Intravitreal injection of any anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs would significantly suppress the activity of the CNV and finally improve the visual acuity. However, more than half of the patients would need one or more further injection for the recurrence or uncontrolled with 1+pro re nata (PRN) treatment within one year, and whether increasing the initial loading of intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF would be more efficacy for the controlling the PM-CNV remained unknown.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.
To report the long term prognosis in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) and associated zonal outer retinopathy (ZOR).
This research study will examine the safety and effectiveness of ONS-5010 in participants with AMD. The goal is to prevent vision loss by evaluating the effectiveness of ONS-5010 as compared with ranibizumab.
The content of this research project is to identify the angiofibrotic switch, the transition from angiogenesis to fibrosis, in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) longitudinally. Despite optimal treatment about 50% of eyes with nAMD develop fibrosis within 2 years, causing irreversible damage to the retina and functional loss. Objective measurement of fibrosis, however, is challenging, since clinical staging is subjective and current imaging modalities such as color fundus photography (CFP), fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) often do not allow clear delineation. Novel imaging modalities such as polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA) and adaptive-optics OCT (AO-OCT) offer identification of fibrous components and microvasculature of fibrotic lesions non-invasively with highest precision and shall thus be used in this study. Hypotheses: The investigators hypothesize to detect and quantify subclinical (i.e. not detectable on dilated fundus examination) areas of fibrosis using PS-OCT and determine the rate and exact location within the neovascular lesion. Furthermore, the investigators expect neuroretinal and microvascular changes, which will be assessed by AO-OCT and OCTA. Methods: Eighty eyes of 80 patients with chronic nAMD will be included and examined cross- sectionally to evaluate the accuracy of PS-OCT to detect and quantify fibrosis in comparison to gold standard imaging modalities. In addition, OCTA and AO-OCT will be performed to analyze the relationship between fibrous, neovascular and neuroretinal structures. Furthermore, forty eyes of 40 participants with treatment-naïve nAMD will be included and followed over 12 months with predefined follow-up intervals. Novel non-invasive imaging will be applied to objectively determine the exact time and extent of the angiofibrotic switch in nAMD during state-of-the- art therapy. This approach has not been done before and is clinically relevant for multiple reasons: Firstly, only little is known about the development of fibrosis in AMD during therapy. Secondly, the clinical diagnosis of subretinal fibrosis is subjective and does not allow reliable quantification. Thirdly, current gold standard imaging modalities (i.e. CFP and FA) for detection of fibrosis involve invasive and time-consuming procedures and do not allow three-dimensional analysis. Finally, our study may identify objective endpoints for future interventional trials.

This is a multi centre, single arm, prospective observational phase 4 study in naive or pretreated patients with myopic neovascularization. The patients will be treated with intravitreal injections of Aflibercept following a real life protocol. This sudy aims to evaluate the visual acuity during a 36 months period of time.
To evaluate the long-term outcome of active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) after anti-vascular endothelial factor treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effects of repeated intravitreal injections of ICON-1 0.6 mg administered as maintenance therapy or in combination with aflibercept in patients with wet macular degeneration.
