The latest clinical breakthroughs, practice management updates, and national advocacy alerts directly from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
To investigate ultrahigh-speed, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) angiography for visualizing vascular changes in eyes with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA).
To determine 5-year outcomes of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) for Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
To establish the predictive value of defined retinal morphologic parameters on visual outcomes and re-treatment needs in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) receiving ranibizumab treatment.
Vascular lesions of the orbit, although not malignant, can cause morbidity because of their location near critical structures in the orbit. For the same reason, they can be challenging to remove surgically. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs are increasingly being used to treat diseases with prominent angiogenesis. Our study aimed to determine to what extent VEGF receptors and their subtypes are expressed on selected vascular lesions of the orbit.
The Titmus Stereotest (Stereo Optical Co., Inc., Chicago, IL) has been used to estimate visual acuity (VA) in the evaluation of nonorganic visual loss. Previous predictions were derived from optical degradation of VA in normal subjects and may not account for the variability seen in patients with neuro-ophthalmic pathologies included in the differential diagnosis of nonorganic visual loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Titmus stereoacuity and minimal VA based on a real-world testing environment.
To determine whether the characteristics of an intraoperative episcleral venous fluid wave (EVFW), a potential indicator of trabecular outflow patency, correlates with Trabectome (NeoMedix Corp, Tustin, CA) outcomes.
