Photoreceptor Change and Visual Outcome After Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane Removal with or Without Additional Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling

Posted by , and on Oct 3, 2013 in ERM Peeling, ILM Peeling, OCTs, Photoreceptors

Advantages: To compare postoperative photoreceptor status and visual outcome after epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal with or without additional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling Methods: Medical records of forty eyes from 37 patients undergoing ERM removal with residual ILM peeling (additional ILM peeling group) and 69 eyes from 65 patients undergoing ERM removal without additional ILM peeling (no additional peeling group) were...

Neuroprotective Effects of Sustained-release Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide in RCS Rats

Posted by , , and on Oct 1, 2006 in Experimental Study, Photoreceptors, Retinitis pigmentosa

Raymond Iezzi, MD (Detroit, MI), Inna Glybina, MD, PhD (Detroit, MI), Paul Ashton, PhD (Watertown, MA),* Gary W. Abrams, MD (Detroit, MI) PURPOSE: Corticosteroids and estrogens have been shown to exibit neuroprotective effects, mediated via the stabilization of lipid membranes and the inhibition of apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to determine if chronic intravitreal delivery of the synthetic corticosteroid, Fluocinolone Acetonide...
