Filter by:The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of bevacizumab (Avastin) with another a dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex), with respect to anatomic and visual outcomes as well as injection frequency in subjects undergoing cataract surgery with a concurrent diagnosis of diabetic macular edema (DME).
The investigators aim to evaluate how different timing of anti-VEGF intravitreous injections affect visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with diabetic macular edema who are undergoing cataract surgery; and to evaluate how different timing of anti-VEGF intravitreous affect OCT CSF thickness and total number of postoperative injections in patients with diabetic macular edema who are undergoing cataract surgery.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) may lead to series of complications including retinal ischemia, macular edema (ME) and induce vision impairment. Intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab (0.5mg) has been proved to be a safe and effective method for the treatment of RVO-ME. In this study, different treatment regimens of Ranibizumab is applied and the effects is observed at 1-6 months to explore the best regimen for RVO. After 6 months, anti-VEGF therapy and/or laser photocoagulation is used to explore whether laser photocoagulation can maintain the therapeutic effect of Ranibizumab or reduce the injection number.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of Chinese patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema.
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that following the use of intravitreal dexamethasone implant for the treatment of DME, there will be an observable increase in the capillary density plexus as denoted by the quantitative assessment of the superficial capillary plexus on OCTA, as well as a decrease in size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ).
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of switching from bevacizumab to ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) or aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) nonresponders to bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA). METHODS: Single-center retrospective comparative study of patients with DME unresponsive to intravitreal bevacizumab that were switched to ranibizumab or aflibercept. Best-corrected visual acuity and central foveal thickness will be analysed prior to and 3 months after the switch. OCT biomarkers will also analyzed. A p value of 0.05 or less will be considered to be statistically significant. HYPOTHESIS: Patients will improve anatomically and functionally after switch.
To compare the efficacy and comfort of two FDA approved pre-injection antiseptics when used for intravitreal injections.
Purpose: To evaluate the role of adjuvent micropulse laser with Aflibercept injections in the management of treatment naïve centre involving DME, looking at decreased treatment burden and increased efficacy as outcomes. Methods: This was a prospective, single centre, randomized trial that included 40 eyes (40 patients) with previously untreated centre involved DME. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Aflibercept plus micropulse laser (group A) or Aflibercept monotherapy (group B).
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from refractory diabetic macular edema.
We look at a randomized comparative study of 2 FDA approved anti-VEGF agents(aflibercept and ranibizumab) and see how they compare against the dexamethasone implant for phakic as well as pseudophakic eyes with treatment naive diabetic macular edema in terms of efficacy and safety over two years.
