Combination therapy benefits from laser in the mix for DME, other conditions

Sunir J. Garg, MD, discusses hypersonic vitrector settings in surgery in the exhibition hall at ASRS 2018 in Vancouver.

When used one week after injection, optical coherence tomography angiography can help clinicians determine how effective their treatment has been on neovascular membrane reperfusion.

Study aims to identify methodology for least amount of variation, greatest test-retest reliability

Uveitis does not have to be vexing. Here are some basic principles to make it easier for ophthalmologists to identify the disorder, says James Philip Dunn Jr., MD

An analysis of data from the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry provides insights about real-world success rates for primary repair of retinal detachments, said Richard S. Kaiser, MD.

An intravitreal injection device can provide repeatable results and added comfort for the patient, removing the need for a drape and speculum.

Compared with intravitreous ranibizumab, the decreases in the plasma-free VEGF levels were greater with intravitreous aflibercept and bevacizumab in patients with diabetic macular edema.

Most commercially available OCT and OCTA devices can provide widefield OCTA through a combination of faster speeds, tracking, and the ability to montage images. This may revolutionize clinicians’ ability to assess and quantify retinal vascular disease.

Two patients with macular degeneration regained reading vision after receiving stem cells implanted with a new technique, according to researchers.

Although the phase III Chroma and Spectri studies for lampalizumab (Genentech), an investigational compound for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), failed to meet their primary endpoints, numerous lessons can be learned from the study data.
