Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether ciliary body thickness increased in the presence of diabetic macular edema and whether it changed after pars plana vitrectomy.
This study evaluates a new investigational treatment regimen of three consecutive monthly doses of ranibizumab followed by an as-needed treatment regimen, with monthly follow-up for the first three months then two-monthly follow-up until 18 months in patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema.The aim of the study is to determine if this treatment regimen is effective and safe in these patients.
Treatment with Ranibizumab of the residual diabetic edema in patients with failed response to Bevacizumab.
Branch retinal vein occlusion is a leading cause of vision loss. Treatment with ranibizumab (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor) on a monthly basis has been associated with improved vision results. There is a subgroup of patients with peripheral nonperfusion on ultrawidefield angiography that appears to be more dependent on anti-VEGF treatment. In this trial the investigators compare the gold standard of monthly ranibizumab injections with ranibizumab + peripheral scatter laser to the areas of nonperfusion on angiography. Each group will have monthly injections for the first six months, then as needed by either visual acuity decrease or increased retinal thickness for the subsequent six months. The primary outcome is visual acuity. Secondary outcomes are reduction in optical coherence tomography, and number of ranibizumab injections
The purpose of this study is to compare visual improvement and total number of intraocular injections in eyes with macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)after initial treatment with Ozurdex (dexamethasone implant) or Avastin (bevacizumab).
Although it is important in the clinical management to classify BRVO into subtypes based on the location of the occlusion (major or macular), few studies have provided such information[8,9]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients with macular edema due to Branch retinal vein occlusion who were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab injection and to determine the concentrations of cytokines in the aqueous humor according to the site of the occlusion.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety end efficacy of combined phakoemulsification and vitrectomy with retinal endophotocoagulation and intraoperative use of bevacizumab in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema (DDME), to determine the possible preoperative and intraoperative factors that might influence surgical outcomes.
To evaluate the effects of Trientine Hydrochloride in prevention of post-laser (pan-retinal photocoagulation) macular edema in the eyes for subjects with diabetic retinopathy. Trientine hydrochloride can limit secondary inflammatory damage to retinal vessels following the administration of pan-retinal photocoagulation therapy for severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or retinal neovascularization due to diabetic retinopathy, resulting in less macular edema and improved visual outcomes.
To evaluate the effect of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on the occurrence of diabetic macular edema.
This study is designed to report 3-year result of triple therapy of vitrectomy, intravitreal triamcinolone and macular laser photocoagulation for intractable diabetic macular edema. Previously author reported 1-year result(Am J Ophthalmol. 2007 Dec;144(6):878-885. Epub 2007 Oct 15.).
