Patients and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study that included thirty eyes of DME patients, divided into two groups according to their spectral-domain-optical coherence tomography image analysis at the baseline visit to identify the presence (VMA+) or absence (VMA−) of VMA. Patients with any degree of vitreomacular traction were not included in this study. VMA was classified by the size of adhesion into either focal (<1500 mm) or broad (>1500 mm). All patients received monthly 0.5 mg of intravitreal ranibizumab injection for 6 months. Patients were observed monthly for a 6-month period and their best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were recorded. The incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was observed. Results: Compared with baseline, there was a significant decrease in CMT after 6 months by 151.46 ± 121.47 and 139.33 ± 144.23 μm in VMA+ and VMA− groups, respectively (P = 0.681). The mean average improvement in BCVA was 10.21 ± 6.33 and 6.68 ± 6.35 letters in the VMA+ and VMA− groups, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.007). At 6 months, among the 15 eyes of VMA+ at baseline, 4 eyes demonstrated PVD and 11 eyes showed no change in VMA status. Conclusion: Patients having DME with VMA may achieve higher visual gain with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. Presence of VMA should not preclude patients with DME from receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.","PeriodicalId":201997,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Retina Journal","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128333540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and Methods: Two hundred subjects were included and divided into 4 equal groups: normal controls, diabetics without diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetics with NPDR and without DME, and diabetics with PDR and without DME. Full ophthalmological evaluation was done and the fast macular OCT scan was done that divides the macula into 9 sectors. The mean ± standard deviation of macular thicknesses by area were analyzed and compared. Results: A central subfield (CS) was statistically significantly thicker in normal controls compared to diabetics with no DR with no significant difference in other sectors. Furthermore, all of the inner sectors (IS, IN, IT, II) and the ON sector were significantly thicker in normal compared to diabetics with nonproliferative DR (NPDR) group with no significant difference in other sectors. Furthermore, between all sectors except IS and IT on comparing normal versus diabetics with PDR, between nasal sectors (IN and ON) but not in other sectors on comparing diabetics with no DR versus diabetics with NPDR, between all sectors except IS on comparing diabetics with no DR versus diabetics with PDR, and between all sectors on comparing diabetics with NPDR versus diabetics with PDR. Conclusion: This study found that the fovea and perifoveal subfields of the ETDRS grid tended to be thinner in diabetics without DR than in healthy controls and still thinner in eyes with DR, but thicker in eyes with PDR than in healthy controls thus confirming that the loss of neural tissue begins in the early stages of diabetes. As diabetes develops, neurodegeneration may be masked by changes in vascular permeability that cause thickening of the retinal layers.","PeriodicalId":201997,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Retina Journal","volume":"210 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134442513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjects and Methods: Records of 56 eyes of 56 patients with recurrent RD and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) were evaluated, three-port incision sclerotomies followed by standard vitrectomy were done. Retinal reattachment was achieved with the aid of perfluorocarbon and retinectomy. Retinectomy was performed at the time of surgery based on retinal shortening (inferior 180°). Silicon oil (SO) was used as a tamponade. Retinal attachment and visual acuity (VA) after 6 months were evaluated. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-squared test. Results: In all 52 of 56 (93%) eyes, retinal reattachment was successful, with a mean follow-up of 25 months (range, 6–70 months). After retinal reattachment, VA improved or stabilized in 39 of 56 patients (70%). Conclusion: When combined with anterior base dissection, inferior retinectomy may be useful in the surgical treatment of complex PVR-related RD. It was found that with lensectomy, radical anterior base dissection, and inferior retinectomy, anatomic success rates are improved and visual function can be maintained.","PeriodicalId":201997,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Retina Journal","volume":"51 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129306868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: Medical record from patients undergoing vitrectomy for PDR were retrospectively analyzed for the last 3 years. IVB has been a routine procedure for patients fulfilling eligibility criteria for the past 3 years. Patients who did not receive IVB preoperatively were assigned as control group (Group A). Patients who received a single IVB injection (1.25 mg in 0.05 ml) preoperatively were assigned to Group B. Medical record of 100 patients who had completed 12-month follow-up were included in each group. Results: The primary outcome measure was visual outcome which was better in Group B as compared to Group A, anatomical outcome observed was 65% patients in Group A and 85% patients in Group B. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (VH). Intraoperative hemorrhage was seen in 40% patients in Group A and 20% patients in Group B, whereas postoperative VH was seen in 45% patients in Group A and 15% patients in Group B. Conclusion: Preoperative use of bevacizumab achieves excellent anatomical and functional success in majority of patients undergoing PPV for PDR and significantly reduced occurrence of postoperative VH.

Subjects and Methods: One hundred and fifty-six eyes of 102 patients with early dry AMD were recruited, FAF imaging was done for all patients with the aid of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. In addition, OCT imaging was done for all patients. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test was used for analysis. Results: Six FAF patterns have been identified (normal, minimal change, focal increased, linear, patchy, and reticular pattern). There was a statistically significant difference in OCT findings (drusenoid retinal pigment epithelial detachment and inner- and outer-segment junction integrity) among various FAF patterns. Conclusions: The OCT findings were statistically significant variable among different FAF patterns in eyes with early AMD suggesting a possible link between each FAF pattern and the changes which take place in retinal structure. This finding can aid in determining the visual prognosis of eyes with early AMD according to FAF pattern in large sample studies.","PeriodicalId":201997,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Retina Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114590982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) and corresponding retinal thickness (RT) using enhanced depth imaging mode of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in normal emmetropic eyes. Methods: One hundred and six eyes of healthy, nearly emmetropic eyes of volunteers were examined by Spectralis OCT. Manual measurements of CT were done under the fovea and on the vertical and horizontal line scans at the ETDRS 1 and 3 mm circles. RT was measured in the center foveal subfield and at the same locations of CT measurements. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software package version 20.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: With a mean age of 50.3 ± 16.5 years, the mean subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) was 297.5 ± 86.2 μ while the mean central RT was 264.3 ± 15.9 μ. The mean CT was thinnest at the nasal location but without statistical significance and SCT was higher in males than females. Significant and correlated age-related thinning was observed in both retina and choroid at all locations, except the fovea, where these changes were significant but not correlated. Conclusions: CT has an age-related thinning pattern that correlates with age-related retinal thinning in extrafoveal macular locations. In addition, age can be used as a guide in predicting the normal SCT in emmetropes.","PeriodicalId":201997,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Retina Journal","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127146000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
