Double Retinal Tamponade for Retinal Detachment With PVR and Inferior Breaks.
Retinal DetachmentPurpose To evaluate the efficacy of perfluorocarbone liquids (PFCLs) for tamponading lower retinal breaks to achieve retinal reattachment in eyes of retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and inferior breaks. Patients and methods The study was prospective non comparative interventional study. It included thirty eyes of 30 patients suffering from retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy and inferior breaks attending the ophthalmology department at Minia University Hospital. The mean age was 50.2± 10.63 years, 18 females and 12 males. Double retinal tamponade procedure were done and the patients were followed for one year. The primary outcome was to achieve successful retinal reattachment and the secondary outcome is to achieve improvement in the postoperative visual acuity.
A Study Testing if Medicine Can Make Pigment Epithelium Detachments Regress and Stabilize the Vision...
Macular DegenerationRetinal DetachmentThe purpose of this study is to determine treatment effects in patients with retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED) in relation to Age Related Maculopathy (AMD). Patients with newly diagnosed PED without choroidal neovascularisations (CNV), will be randomized to either treatment or observation. The treatment group will first be given injections with anti Vascular Endothelium Growth Factor (anti-VEGF). If the injections do not have any effect, Verteporfin Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) will be given. All patients will be followed for a period of 2 years. It is hypothesized that treatment stops the progression of the disease and stabilizes the vision in this subgroup of patients with AMD.

Pneumatic Retinopexy Versus Vitrectomy With Gas for Retinal Detachment Due to Myopic Macular Hole...
Retinal DetachmentTo undertake a prospective randomized clinical study for treating retinal detachment due to myopic macular holes, utilizing pneumatic retinopexy versus pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade.To determine the efficiency of pneumatic retinopexy with C3F8 in the treatment of retinal detachment due to myopic macular hole.
Comparison of Vitrectomy Without Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling Versus Inverted ILM Flap Technique...
Macular HolesRetina DetachmentThe aim of this study was to determine whether inverted ILM peeling technique could contribute to high reattachment and closure rates after vitrectomy in patients with myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in comparison to no ILM peeling. This retrospective study will include 40 patients presenting by myopic macular hole retinal detachment. Exclusion criteria will include history of trauma, choroidal neovascularization, and the presence of a peripheral retinal break or proliferative vitreoretinopathy before the initial surgery. Subjects will be divided into 2 groups; Group 1 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy without ILM peeling and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery. Group 2 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy with ILMflap technique and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery.
Lucentis for Age-related Macular Degeneration Pigment Epithelial Detachments
Age-related Macular DegenerationPigment Epithelial Detachment2 morePatients with neovascular Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the particular feature of pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) were not studied in the Phase III trials for ranibizumab (Lucentis). The PrONTO study was the first ranibizumab study to enroll such patients but only treated with ranibizumab until fluid within the layers of the retina was absent, not until the entire PED was absent. This study hypothesizes that there may be a difference in benefit between patients treated until just the retinal edema is gone and those in which the retinal edema and PED are both gone.
