Filter by:The complicated schedules for administering topical steroid eye drops combined with forgetfulness and physical difficulties instilling the drops may compromise compliance; which in turn could increase the risk for secondary complications such as PME post-cataract surgery, especially in a high-risk diabetic population. Dextenza, a sustained- release steroid insert, could help preclude adherence difficulties and provide better bioavailability, being as effective as, or more effective than steroid drops in preventing PME. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of PME in diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery when comparing the Dextenza insert to topical prednisolone acetate 1% drops.
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is currently the mainstay of treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME). One of the main obstacles of anti-VEGF therapy is the need of repeated injections, which carries both economic and compliance problems to the patients.there is a growing evidence that recognises the effectiveness of the use of micropulse laser (MPL) in treatment of DME. with MPL, it is possible to deliver a subthreshold laser that is above the threshold of biochemical effect but below the threshold of a visible, destructive lesion thereby preventing collateral damage.The MPL technique is available at near - infrared 810 nm diode laser (diode MPL) and at 577 nm (yellow MPL). The current study was conducted in order to compare the efficacy of both MPL techniques in the treatment of center involving DME.
The aim of this study is To compare the anatomical and functional results of intravitreal( IV) injection of ranibizumab with sub threshold micropulse laser ( SML) in treatment of Diabetic macular edema (DME) both anatomically by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and functionally by best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG).
As a primary exploratory study, this study aims to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of intravitreal Conbercept injection in UME, and to explore the correlation between inflammatory factors like VEGF and the responsiveness to treatment.
The study will be composed of 3 periods for all participants: Screening, 28-day Treatment period, and Follow-up visit (approximately 28 days after the final dose).
A prospective interventional case series study was conducted on 20 eyes of 20 patients with active myopic choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) ,20 eyes with resistant diabetic macular edema and 15 eyes with non ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO) after approval of the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University . All procedures were carried out under the tenets of the Helsinki Declaration. Written consent was provided by all participants after discussing the procedure, alternative treatment plans, follow-up schedules, and possible benefits and risks.
Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label, prospective, interventional study to assess the potential benefit of Aflibercept treatment administered IVT at a dosage of 2 mg with five monthly loading doses and then treat and extend over 48 weeks, with the primary endpoint as BCVA assessed at Week 52.
Eyes with diabetic macular edema requiring conbercept treatment will be followed up for one month. Before treatment, one week after treatment and one month after treatment, the eyes will be examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA). The changes of macular edema will be observed and analyzed by OCT leakage mapping software, and the relationship between the changes of macular edema and visual acuity will be analyzed.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of subliminal micropulse yellow laser application on central macular thickness and best corrected visual acuity in cystoid macular edema secondary to retinitis pigmentosa patients.
The main aim of the pilot study is to determine preliminary estimates of the safety, tolerability, and comfort of a dexamethasone-eluting therapeutic contact lens drug delivery system (TCL-DDS) for the treatment of recurrent cystoid macular edema. Secondarily, feasibility of the TCL-DDS system will be investigated. 1. Safety: To establish that a topical dexamethasone delivery system has an acceptable safety profile by determining the incidence and severity of ocular adverse events, as identified by eye examination through day 28 following treatment initiation. 2. Comfort and tolerability: to establish the subject tolerability and comfort of the TCL-DDS. 3. Feasibility: To establish- that a topical dexamethasone delivery system is a feasible treatment for recurrent cystoid macular edema.
