ABSTRACT Objective: The study aims to study retinal detachment in Knobloch syndrome. Knobloch syndrome is a rare genetic disease affects patients in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is characterized by high myopia, vitreoretinopathy, lens abnormality and macular atrophy. Study Design: Retrospective study, case series study. Methods: Consecutive patients who were diagnosed to have Knobloch syndrome with retinal detachment between 2013 and...

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of bilateral pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD). Method: Retrospective review of 40 eyes of 20 pediatric patients (18 years old and under) with bilateral RRD treated at Singapore National Eye Centre with scleral buckling(SB), pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) or combination of scleral buckle with pars plana vitrectomy (SB+PPV). Baseline clinical...

ABSTRACT Objective: Seen in premature and low-birth-weight infants, retinopathy of the prematurity (ROP) is a proliferative vasculopathy which may result in severe visual losses at the advanced stages. It is suggested that its development be amenable to several factors, one of them being the oxygen (O2) and its metabolites. For this purpose, this study was conducted to investigate the place of coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E combination (Coqun),...

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate and to compare efficacy of three anti vegf drugs (afibercept, ranibizumab and bevacizumab) in treatment of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP). Method: 228 eyes of 147 patients with type 1 ROP who received anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections between August 2013 and February 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. One hundred twenty four eyes of 81 patients received 0.25 mg...

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of macula edema detected at premature stage with optical coherence tomography on refraction at age 1, 2 and 3. Material & Method: 217 eyes from 217 infants who underwent optical coherence tomography at premature stage were included in the study. Edema detected with optical coherence tomography was divided into three groups as no edema, Type A edema that does not...

ABSTRACT Purpose: To identify the characteristics, frequency and complications of peripheral retinal anomalies associated with persistent fetal vasculature (PFV). Methods: Retrospective, noncomparative case series of patients with PFV who underwent surgery during the last 6 years in a university clinic. Type of PFV, presence of peripheral retinal anomalies, extend of the retrolental membrane and retinal detachment, early and late...
