Retinal sensitivity and fixation changes 1 year after triamcinolone acetonide assisted internal limiting membrane peeling for macular hole surgery - a MP-1 microperimetric study

Purpose

Microperimetric changes after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for exudative age-related macular degeneration

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab on macular function in the cases of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

Microperimetric Changes After Photodynamic Therapy for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) on macular function in cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC)

MICROPERIMETRIC CHANGES AFTER INTRAVITREAL TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE INJECTION FOR MACULAR EDEMA DUE TO CENTRAL RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on macular function in cases of macular edema because of central retinal vein occlusion

Macular function after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection for diabetic macular oedema

Purpose

A case of morning glory syndrome associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and Peters’ anomaly

We report a case of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and Peters’ anomaly. A 2-day-old girl, born at term with a birth weight of 3,350 g was diagnosed with Peters’ anomaly, cataract, microphthalmia, PHPV, and MGS. A right limbal lensectomy and vitrectomy with stalk cauterization was performed 8 days later. No early postoperative complication occurred, the family was discharged with advice on medication, and follow-up examination was scheduled. The case report reveals the coexistence of PHPV, Peters’ anomaly, and MGS, which may suggest a genetic link

Failure to detect hepatitis B virus in vitreous by polymerase chain reaction

Purpose: To assay the vitreous of asymptomatic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers for the presence of HBV DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods: Vitreous and serum specimens were collected from 13 carriers of HBV. The presence of HBV DNA was investigated by using PCR and Digene's Hybrid Capture System. The presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in vitreous was also investigated by using the enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Results: The serum was positive for HBV DNA in 3 of the 13 asymptomatic carriers using PCR. Vitreous samples of all the patients, including 3 patients who were positive for HBV DNA in serum, were negative for HBV DNA with PCR and were negative for HBsAg with EIA. Conclusion: There is no evidence of HBV in the vitreous of asymptomatic HBV carriers. Copyright (C) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel
