Filter by:Subject/Participant Groups: Study Group: Subjects undergo internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during vitrectomy for the indication of tractional retinal detachment Control Group: Subjects do not undergo ILM peeling during vitrectomy for the indication of tractional retinal detachment
Dosage of pro-inflammatory cytokines and soluble mediators (TNFα, IL6, IL2 and PDGF-AB) performed on 25 vitreous biopsies taken from patients with diabetic retinopathy and treated with increasing doses of curcumin (0.5uM and 1uM), with or without homotaurine (100uM) and vitamin D3 (50nM).
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.
This study is to characterize mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) populations in adults with eye injuries and eye diseases. The eye exam is often hindered by the clouding of tissues involved in injury or disease. This protocol examines the use of mtDNA populations as indicators of developing inflammation and resolution of injury. This may be used to provide proactive treatment or define appropriate treatment needs beyond the indications of an ophthalmological exam.
Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease increasingly common in older adults, particularly in African Americans, and often diagnosed late in the disease course. It is essential to develop novel health care models, utilizing telemedicine, to improve the ability to detect glaucoma at an earlier stage, and to provide a platform to manage this disease in community-based clinics so that further vision loss is prevented. Our goal is to improve the quality and accessibility of glaucoma detection and management among a vulnerable and at-risk segment of our population.
The study evaluates the performance of the EyeArt system for detecting diabetic retinopathy from images captured using multiple retinal imaging devices and operators.
Premacular Subhyaloid hemorrhage is a sudden profound loss of vision in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Pars plana vitrectomy is the treatment of choice for premacular hemorrhage in eyes with proliferative changes. Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy has been used to evacuate the premacular hemorrhage
Calcium dobesilate has been recommended to treat diabetic retinopathy due to its potential in protecting against retinal vascular damage. However, there was limited evidence exploring its efficacy in combating diabetic retinopathy progression. This study, a single-blind, multicenter, cluster-randomized, controlled superiority trial, was designed to evaluate whether calcium dobesilate could prevent diabetic retinopathy progression into an advanced stage among Chinese patients with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab compared to panretinal photocoagulation laser (PRP) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This evaluation will provide information that brolucizumab is non-inferior to PRP with respect to the change in best corrected visual acuity at Week 54.
