Performance Comparison of the 25 Gauge 20,000cpm HYPERVIT Dual Blade vs. 10,000cpm ULTRAVIT Vitrectomy...
VitrectomyEpiretinal Membrane3 moreThis prospective randomised controlled trial will be conducted to investigate that increasing the vitrectomy cutting rate from 10,000 cut/min to 20,000 cut/min will result more efficiency and shorter core vitrectomy time, and it is equally safe as compared to the current 10,000 cut/min. We plan to target the patients undergoing for vitrectomy for common vitreoretinal pathology. Our plan is to conduct a randomised study with 2 arms, one with the higher cutting rate (20,000 cut/min) versus a second arm using the existing system 10,000 cuts/min.
Phacoemulsification and 25 Gauge (25G) Vitrectomy Versus Phacoemulsification Only in Idiopathic...
Epiretinal MembraneThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the difference in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity, oct retinal thickness and microperimetry in 2 groups of 30 eyes each affected by idiopathic epiretinal membranes that underwent phacoemulsification and 25G pars-plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (Group 1) versus phacoemulsification only (Group 2), with a follow-up length up to 5 years.
Trypan Blue Versus Brillant Blue for Epiretinal Membranes
Idiopathic Epiretinal MembranesMembraneppeling alone versus Membranepeeling with Membrane Limitans Interna Pelling using two different Dyes for Epiretinal Membrane Surgery.
Effect of Air-tamponade on Intraretinal Cystoid Changes After Membrane Peeling
Epiretinal MembranePatients with intraretinal cystoid changes before scheduled membrane peeling for epiretinal membranes are included. Patients are randomized for balanced salt solution (BSS) or air-tamponade.
Study of Impact of Air vs SF6 20% on Visual Acuity Improvement After Epiretinal Membrane Stripping...
Epiretinal MembraneThe purpose of this study is to determine if one of these gaz (air and sulfur hexafluoride) is better than the other in epiretinal membrane peeling surgery. Both are already used for this surgery and this study will tell us if one is better than the other.
Tilt of the Intraocular Lens in Patients Undergoing Combined Phacoemulsification and Vitrectomy...
Epiretinal MembraneVitrectomy with membrane peeling has developed to be the gold-standard in treatment of epiretinal membranes. Due to the possibility of vitrectomy induced cataract, in many ophthalmic surgical centers it has become usual to indicate combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy in case of existing cataract. Epiretinal membranes (ERM) and pseudomaculaforamen are disorders involving the posterior pole of the eyeball with consecutive vision loss. ERM can be well visualized with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Different study groups showed that even intraoperative use of SD-OCT is possible.
Surgical Removal of Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane With and Without the Assistance of Indocyanine...
Idiopathic Epiretinal MembraneCataractIt was the aim of the present study to prospectively compare the functional and morphological outcome of idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery with and without the assistance of Indocyanine green (ICG). The main outcome measure was improvement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). This was treated as an open question and we had no hypothesis which of the two therapies was superior.
Study of OT-551 Eye Drops to Prevent or Delay Progression of Nuclear Cataracts Following Vitreous...
Epiretinal MembraneMacular HoleThe purpose of this trial is to compare the ability of two doses of OT-551 ophthalmic solution and drug-free solution to safely and effectively prevent or delay the progression of nuclear cataracts that frequently develop as a result of vitrectomy (surgery for retina repair), thereby avoiding the need for a second surgery (cataract removal). Victrectomies involve removal of the jelly-like substance (vitreous) that is located in a cavity behind the lens.
Prophylactic Ketorolac Post Epiretinal Membrane Surgery
Macular EdemaEvaluate the efficacy of ketorolac 0.5%, a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), to prevent macular edema after epiretinal membrane surgery. Patients undergoing epiretinal membrane surgery have increased risk of macular swelling which can adversely affect vision. Since post-intraocular surgery inflammation is a contributing factor to macular swelling and loss of vision, NSAID drops may be able to prevent or minimize the deleterious effects of macular swelling after epiretinal membrane surgery.
Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection and Follow-Up Study
GlaucomaGlaucoma Suspect11 moreThe goal is to conduct a 5-year prospective, randomized controlled trial to test an innovative, community-based intervention using posterior and anterior fundus photography of the optic nerve and macula and intraocular eye pressure measurements to improve access and utilization of eye care to detect, treat, and manage high-risk patients with previously undiagnosed glaucoma and other eye diseases. Research shows that subject failure to attend follow-up eye care appointments diminishes any previous benefits of community screenings for glaucoma. Greater adherence to follow-up visits can reduce glaucomatous blindness.
