View clinical trials related to Macular Edema.
Filter by:Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome (IGS), is an accumulation of fluid in the macula that occurs after cataract surgery, with an early or late presentation (cut-off 3 months) . It is the most common cause of decreased vision after uneventful phacoemulsification, with a rare incidence of 0.1-2.35% for clinically significant PCME . Macular edema in IGS can be diagnosed and classified by optical coherence tomography (OCT), which enables its morphologic assessment. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is the gold standard to perform differential diagnosis for macular edema. To date, OCT angiography (OCTA) has been proposed to study various retinal vascular diseases. In contrast to FA, OCTA is able to visualize Radial peripapillary vessel density (RCP). The aim of this study was to investigate abnormalities in the vascular network of the optic nerve head in patients with IGS compared to healthy eyes, using OCT-A
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder, occurring when there is a blockage to the main blood vessel that transports blood away from the retina. CRVO may cause visual impairment, especially due to macular edema (swelling of the macula due to fluid accumulation) and macular non-perfusion. Aflibercept has been found to improve visual acuity and reduce macular thickness in pivotal trials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept in real-world, using a patient-fitted treatment regimen. Additionally, imaging parameters have been assessed before and after treatment with intravitreal aflibercept.
Eye health is of great importance for quality of life. Some eye diseases can progress and cause permanent damage up to vision loss if they are not treated early. Therefore, it is of great importance to have regular eye examinations and to detect possible eye diseases before they progress. Healthy people should also undergo eye screening once a year, and those with any complaints regarding eye health should be examined. With the advancing technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to play a significant role in the healthcare sector. Retinal diseases, serious health problems resulting from damage to the back part of the eye's retina, include conditions such as retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Artificial intelligence, with its visual recognition and analysis capabilities, holds great potential in the early diagnosis of retinal diseases. AI-based diagnosis of retinal diseases typically involves the use of specialized algorithms that analyze retinal images. These algorithms identify abnormal features in the eye, providing doctors with a quick and accurate diagnosis. EyeCheckup v2.0 will diagnose glaucoma suspicion, severe glaucoma suspicion, age-related macular degeneration diagnosis, RVO diagnosis, diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and stage, presence/absence of DME suspicion and other retinal diseases from fundus images. This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of EyeCheckup v2.0. The study is a single center study to determine the sensitivity and specificity of EyeCheckup to retinal and optic disc diseases. EyeCheckup v2.0 is an automated software device that is designed to analyze ocular fundus digital color photographs taken in frontline primary care settings in order to quickly screen.
The current study aims to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory biomarkers and local inflammatory biomarkers on OCT in patients with treatment resistant diabetic macular edema(DME) and further explore the associations with treatment outcomes.
This is a open label, multicenter, Phase II study to evaluate the usability of the pre-filled syringe (PFS) of SB11 (ranibizumab biosimilar). Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) followed the Instructions for Use (IFU) to prepare and administer SB11 PFS with intravitreal injection to subjects with nAMD or Macular Oedema Secondary to RVO.
This study aims to characterize patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), their progression, the treatment received and associate the functional and physiological outcomes related to the treatment.
We have been using DEX for refractory DME for a long time (since 2016). Thus, we are sharing our results , evaluating both anatomical and functional outcomes of DEX therapy for refractory DME.
Background and Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of cooled versus room temperature artificial tears in reducing post intravitreal injection (IVI) ocular discomfort. Patients and Methods: Patients receiving IVI were randomized to either cooled or room temperature tears intervention groups. Both groups rated their ocular discomfort following IVI before intervention and again after administration of cooled or room temperature tears.
This study was a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective chart review of patients with DME who received ranibizumab 0.5 mg as initial intensive treatment in real-world clinical setting in Korea. Enrolled patients started receiving ranibizumab between 01 December 2019 and 31 October 2020, with records of receiving at least 3 doses in the first 4 months after starting treatment in the data collected until 30 April 2021. Subsequent dosing interval was determined by the treating physician based on the patient's condition. Data were collected for up to 24 weeks (±2 weeks) from the date of first dose of ranibizumab, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) results at Week 24. Subjects were identified by review of patient medical records, and those who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ranibizumab in patients with DME who received initial intensive treatment by analyzing the mean change in BCVA using data collected during the 24-week follow-up period. Central subfield thickness (CST), intra-retinal fluid (IRF), sub-retinal fluid (SRF), edema improvement, and Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) results were also assessed to further analyze the effectiveness of ranibizumab. The total number of ranibizumab doses administered was obtained to determine the pattern of ranibizumab treatment in real-world clinical setting. All decisions regarding the clinical management and treatment of patients were made by the treating physician according to real-world routine practice, independently of the study. All data collected in this study were extracted from the patient medical records recorded in the process.
The aim of this study is to assess the association between vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHD) and the macular thickness changes following uneventful phacoemulsification. In this prospective study the investigators performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in patients undergoing cataract surgery preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months and analyzed the OCTs for VHDs. The investigators then measured the macular thickness in patients with VHDs and without VHDs and correlated the macular thickness with the number of VHDs.
