Filter by:Assess prophylactic efficacy of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops in preventing macular edema. Patient undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery will be enrolled and randomized to nepafenac, ketorolac, or placebo. Follow-up will occur at 1 month with ocular coherence tomography (OCT).
Understanding and modulating fluid parameters is an important, but often overlooked aspect of phacoemulsification. In a previous study we compared the impact of using high fluid parameters versus low fluidic parameters on real-time IOP measured during phacoemulsification. The investigators found that using high parameters resulted in a higher absolute rise in IOP as well as higher fluctuations in the IOP when compared to low parameters. Clinically these higher fluctuations in IOP would translate in a higher chamber instability. Based on the results of this study, the investigators decided to take it further and study the impact of using high parameters (and thus, higher chamber instability) on macular edema and thickness following surgery, in an otherwise uncomplicated surgery. Higher fluid parameters during phacoemulsification predisposes the eye to increased macular thickness
The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of ocular instillations of interferon gamma-1b as a potential treatment for cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to uveitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) on the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessed by the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) chart in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement.
Does diabetic patients' glycemic control affect their response to laser and/or intravitreal injection therapy in terms of visual and anatomical outcomes.
The population of people suffering from diabetes is rapidly increasing, from an estimated 110 million in 1994 to 221 million in 2010. Diabetic macular edema is the most common reason for reduction in visual acuity in diabetic patients. The standard care for diabetic macular edema is focal and /or grid retinal photocoagulation. During photocoagulation, small laser burns are applied to the retina, the sensory tissue that lines the back of the eye. Studies have shown that photocoagulation of clinically significant diabetic macular edema substantially reduces the risk of visual loss, increase the chance of visual improvement and decrease the frequency of persistent macular edema. However, it remains unknown whether the destruction of sensory layer of the retina during photocoagulation that may cause visual field defects is necessary for successful treatment or is just an unwanted and unnecessary side effect. Based on these concept, a photocoagulation technique was developed to treat the retina selectively (SRT - Selective retinal therapy), with minimal or no damage to the sensory layers. While the treatment is very similar to regular photocoagulation, the SRT laser uses much lower energy and very short pulses. As a result, treatment does not result in visible burns to the retina and previous studies have shown that the sensory layer remains intact. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of SRT on the resolution of the edema.
One of the most frequent complications of diabetic retinopathy is diabetic macular edema. Recently, intravitreal bevacizumab and intravitreal triamcinolone were the most popular therapeutic modalities. However, as the long term effects of intravitreal bevacizumab and intravitreal triamcinolone on visual acuity and macular thickness have not been compared, it was the purpose of the present study to compare these treatment effects
To determine the efficacy of intravitreally (IVT) administered VEGF Trap-Eye on the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessed by the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) chart in subjects with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement
This study is being conducted to assess the effects of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) on macular retinal volume compared with placebo in eyes with non-central diabetic macular edema (DME). A secondary objective of this study is to assess the effects of topical NSAIDs on central subfield thickness and to compare the progression of non-central DME to central DME as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and stereoscopic fundus photographs. Furthermore, this phase II study is being conducted (1) to determine whether the conduct of a phase III trial has merit based on an anatomic outcome, (2) to estimate recruitment potential of a phase III investigation, and (3) to provide information on outcome measures needed to design a phase III trial. The study is not designed to establish the efficacy of NSAIDs in the treatment of non- central DME.
This study is designed to access the safety and efficacy of multiple injections of KH902 in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).
