Filter by:The study will be designed as a case control evaluation to compare the genetic profiles of three groups of patients categorized according to diagnosis. Group 1 - CNV secondary to CSC Group 2 - CSC without CNV Group 3 - CNV secondary to advanced AMD.
Vision testing is a fundamental part of every optometry and ophthalmology assessment. Traditional vision testing charts are not able to measure vision below a certain level. Vision in this range is classified as counting fingers (CF), hand movements (HM) and light perception (LP). These measures are not very accurate or easily quantifiable. They are also poorly understood in terms of impact on quality of life. This study aims to assess new methods for measuring the vision of patients with very low vision.
A study to use in home technology to reduce the burden of in office visits and injections.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a treatment effect of ESBA1008 applied as a microvolume injection or infusion on retinal function and morphology in subjects with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Study designed to evaluate the effect of significant ERM on the visual and anatomic outcomes of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy for eAMD.
This study compared the effect of ranibizumab administered as monotherapy versus ranibizumab administered in combination with verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) on visual acuity in patients with symptomatic macular polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). The results of this study provided long-term safety and efficacy data used to generate further guidance on the management of patients with PCV.
This is an open-label, single center clinical investigation to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Heparin-induced Extracorporeal Lipoprotein Precipitation (H.E.L.P.) Therapy as a treatment for non-exudative (dry) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). A total of 14 clinic visits are scheduled, one baseline visit, 8 visits for H.E.L.P. therapy treatments (to be performed over a period of 12 weeks for each patient) and 5 follow-up visits to be performed one week following the 4th H.E.L.P. therapy session and 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks after the final H.E.L.P. therapy session.
This study will recruit patients who have recently had a submacular haemorrhage (bleed under the part of the retina responsible for detailed vision), as a complication of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is a very common disease where abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and leak, causing a significant reduction in vision. The study will investigate treatment of the bleed with various combinations of the two drugs: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - designed to dissolve the blood clot; and perfluoropropane (C3F8) - designed to shift the blood clot away from the central part of the retina (the macula). tPA is a commonly used 'clot-buster' drug for the treatment of stroke. C3F8 is a gas commonly used in eye surgery. Patients recruited will be divided into four groups: control group that receive none of the above drugs; one group that receives only tPA; one group that receives only C3F8; and one group that receives both. All patients will receive the current gold standard treatment for wet AMD, ranibizumab (Lucentis®). The aim of the study is to improve vision in a condition, which left untreated, would cause severe visual loss.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and serum pharmacokinetics of CLG561 in subjects with advanced age-related macular degeneration.
This is a pilot study to determine if proton radiation therapy can provide effective and safe treatment for subfoveal neovascularization membrane (SNVM). The study will include adult patients over the age of 50 with macular degeneration, who have subfoveal neovascularization membrane (SNVM) and have had prior treatment with Avastin or Lucentis. Additional purposes of this study are to see if the growth of neovascular membranes can be stopped and overall vision improved with the use of protons and assess the side effects associated with this treatment.
