Filter by:Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of severe vision loss in diabetic retinopathy. Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Ozurdex are two safe and effective ways to treat DME. Pars plana vitrectomy is mainly suitable for the treatment of unabsorbed vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and tractional retinal detachment caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT), a diagnostic device, can be used to evaluate the potential condition of the retina. Many patients with PDR have unclear refractive stroma due to VH and other reasons, so preoperative OCT cannot give a clear diagnosis, so the use of intraoperative OCT can judge whether the patients are complicated with DME and give corresponding treatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the prognosis of patients with DME diagnosed by OCT during PPV and treated with PPV combined with aflibercept or PPV combined with Ozurdex, and to observe and compare the postoperative anatomical results, functional results, times of reinjections and the occurrence of adverse events between the two groups, in order to provide accurate treatment for patients, reduce the frequency of postoperative vitreous injection and lighten the burden of patients.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes. At present, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injection is the first-line therapy for DME, nevertheless, some patients do not respond well to anti-VEGF agents and often require multiple injections, which increases the psychological and economic burden of patients. Microinvasive pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has been proven to be safe and effective for refractory DME. However, there are few studies on treatment-naïve DME. The purpose of this study is to explore whether early PPV combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling can reduce the treatment burden of DME patients, prevent vision loss, and maintain long-term stabilization of diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the main cause of blindness among working-age adults in the world. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the severe stage of DR, which is characterized by neovascularization of the retina. Vitreous hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment caused by PDR often require vitrectomy. The purpose of vitrectomy is to remove vitreous hemorrhage, peel off the preretinal proliferative membrane and help restore the retina. With the deepening of people's understanding of diabetes and the development and application of various hypoglycemic drugs, the life expectancy of patients with diabetes continues to prolong. Therefore, the goal of vitrectomy in patients with DR is not only to prevent blindness, but also to maintain good vision for a long time. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk factors related to the occurrence of long-term low vision postoperatively and establish a risk prediction model, which can help patients adjust their psychological expectations reasonably and promote communication between doctors and patients.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main complications in diabetes, the proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the most important one of the reasons leading to decreased vision, PDR is the stage of clinical intervention. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is an effective treatment for PDR, while vitreous haemorrhage (VH) is a common complication after PPV, with incidence ranging from 11.8% to 75%, and is the main cause of reoperation. Anti-Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for vitreous hemorrhage can inhibit neovascularization and prevent recurrent vitreous haemorrhage after absorption. Previous studies have found that anti-VEGF is a safe and effective treatment for postoperative recurrent VH. In consideration of the psychological and economic factor of patients, this study intends to observe the effectiveness of single vitreous injection of Ranibizumab in the treatment of postoperative recurrent VH on the basis of previous clinical work. Compare the visual acuity, macular thickness, VH recurrence and patient satisfaction between the Ranibizumab group and the PPV group by randomized grouping.To observe the effective rate and clearance time of recurrent VH after Ranibizumab treatment and whether it can effectively reduce the rate of PPV. To provide clinical guidance for the precise treatment of PDR patients, the treatment of PDR patients has important clinical significance and social and economic significance.
silicone oil tamponade removal after previous injection of complicated retinal detachment can be achieved with active suction followed by triple air-fluid exchange or prolonged lavage of the vitreous chamber to remove emulsification. Purpose of the study is to compare the amount of silicone oil emulsification droplets within the lavage fluid in case of air exchange and simple lavage to compare which technique removed the highest percentage of emulsion. This is achieved by comparing consecutive samples of lavage fluid
