Filter by:Currently medications injected intravitreally in previously vitrectomized eyes have a very short half-life due to enhanced clearance of the drug. The use of the Ozurdex (dexamethasone) implant may allow sustained levels of steroid delivery to patients with diabetic macular edema that have undergone prior vitrectomy. The sustained steroid levels may lead to improved central retinal thickness measurements and improved visual acuity.
The specific aim of the study is to test the following hypothesis: That switching between treatments from bevacizumab to Ozurdex or vice versa in eyes with diabetic macular oedema with no or incomplete response from one therapy is beneficial.
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.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a common cause of vision loss after cataract surgery. In the last few years, several new treatments have been tried to address the problem of CME after cataract surgery in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The investigators will perform a large RCT with the aim to provide more definite evidence-based recommendations for clinical guidelines to prevent the occurrence of CME after cataract surgery in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).
POLARIS : A non-interventional study in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement to assess the effectiveness of existing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment regimens.
there is no yet agreement about the best way to treat Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) the two options up to day are using Grid laser treatment Vs. Avastin injections or a combination of both in this study we want to compare the two attitudes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the change in visual acuity of patients with post surgical cystoid macular edema who will be treated with two different regimens.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dexamethasone-implant alone or in combination with bevacizumab. 64 eyes are prospectively investigated. Group 1 (22 CRVO and 16 BRVO) is treated with dexamethasone-implant alone, Group 2 (14 CRVO 12 BRVO) with three consecutive bevacizumab injections followed by a dexamethasone-implant. Recurrences are treated with dexamethasone-implant only. Patients are seen preoperatively and thereafter in monthly intervals. The primary endpoint was BCVA at twelve months.
The aim of this study is to show that PRPC performed in a single session using a Pascal laser leads to better management of the disease (better rate of regression of neovessels, lower risk of a loss of visual acuity in the long term related to macular edema), a saving of time and better comfort for both patient and doctor.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of OZURDEX (dexamethasone intravitreal implant) 0.7 mg administered immediately after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in type 1 or 2 diabetic patients to prevent the occurrence of post-surgical macular edema (ME). Treatment group: 24 patients will receive an intravitreal injection of OZURDEX at the end of cataract surgery Patients will be seen at 1 week pre-operatively (baseline visit), and on the same day post-surgery (visit 1), at 1 week (visit 2), 1 month (visit 3) and 3 months (visit 4). BCVA, IOP and SD-OCT will be performed at each visit.
