Poster Gavin Tan Introduction: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is rare but important cause of visual impairment in children. It is often idiopathic or secondary to inflammation, optic nerve head abnormalities or retinal dystrophies. There is a lack of clinical trials assessing the treatment of CNV in children. Methods: A 11-year-old boy with no past medical or ocular history presented with 3 months duration of reduced vision in his...

Advantage: This paper aims to describe retinal changes during Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) guided Bevacizumab treatment for neovascular age- related macular degeneration (AMD). Material and Methods: 47 eyes of 45 patients with wet AMD treated on demand with Bevacizumab. We used 3-dimensional SD-OCT to measure photoreceptor defects and subretinal fibrosis. The main efficacy endpoints were the SD-OCT measurements...

Read MoreEfficacy and Safety of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Monotherapy for Threshold Retinopathy of Prematurity
The introduction of Intraocular Anti-VEGFs agents have significantly improved the management of a wide variety of neovscular ocular diseases including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In our hands, monotherapy treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) is a favourable treatment modality in management of threshold ROP. In eyes with iris rubeosis, rigid pupils and vitreous haze where it is difficult to visualize the fundus and perform...
