Introduction: Several approaches have been investigated for treating wet age-related macular degeneration (w-AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and retinal vein occlusions (RVOs). The first-line treatment for these exudative retinal diseases consists of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents; however, the high treatment burden...

Introduction: Wet age-related macular degeneration (w-AMD) represents the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly in the developed countries. Intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs are currently considered as the first-line treatment option for treating w-AMD; however, the frequent injection intervals have...

Purpose: The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared by the World Health Organization a global pandemic. Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have been largely adopted in the clinical setting for the management of SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, their known retinal toxicity has raised some safety concerns,...

Purpose: To evaluate factors predicting glaucoma damage in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes. Methods: 20 POAG patients were examined in this retrospective study. The most affected eye was analyzed. Peripapillary (P) choroidal thickness (CT) and macular (M) CT were measured by Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography. Correlation between...

Choroidal osteoma is a rare clinical entity of unknown etiology. It is a benign ossifying tumor characterized by mature bone replacing choroid. It typically affects young females, unilaterally. Vision loss occurs mainly due to photoreceptor degeneration secondary to decalcification and/or development of choroidal neovascularization, especially...

Primary open-angle glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests oxidative damage and immune response defects are key factors contributing to glaucoma onset. Indeed, both the failure of the trabecular meshwork tissue in the conventional outflow pathway and the neuroinflammation process,...

Purpose: The effect of short wavelength blue light was studied on the ectopic oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) that has been described in retinal rod outer segments (OS) [1]. Blue light can damage retinal tissue [2] and photoreceptors causing significant production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) in the OS [3]. On the other hand OXPHOS...

Objective To compare the two surgical techniques in terms of efficacy, safety, and postoperative management over 36 months of follow-up. Methods This retrospective clinical cohort study compared the outcome of trabeculectomy surgery and Xen gel implant in patients having uncontrolled glaucoma. Patients were recruited using the following...

Purpose: To examine the relationship between the cardiovascular status and variations in optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived parameters of the peripapillary and macular tissues, and macular vascular flow area measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in healthy subjects. Design: Prospective, open-label, non-randomized...

Introduction Lyme borreliosis may present with different systemic manifestations and also the ocular involvement may be difficult to diagnose because of its multifaceted presentation. Considering the growing incidence of Lyme disease in European countries, ophthalmologist should be trained to distinguish ocular borreliosis. Case Report Several...
