Summary: Coats disease is a predominantly unilateral progressive retinal vascular disease, characterized by retinal telangiectasias with intra- or subretinal exudate deposits, which can lead to retinal detachment and one-sided blindness. Several treatment modalities are available and the choice of one of them depends on the stage of the disease and the habits of each center (laser photocoagulation, cryothe...
Summary: Vitrectomy to remove an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is one of the most common procedures performed by retinal surgeons. Patients who present with significant macular changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) but relatively good vision are often advised to defer surgery until vision declines to 20/40 or worse. However, it is unknown if delaying surgery, which allows the foveal architecture to rem...
Summary: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the main cause of blindness among working-age adults in the world. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the severe stage of DR, which is characterized by neovascularization of the retina. Vitreous hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment caused by PDR often require vitrectomy. The purpose of vitrectomy is to remove vitreous hemorrhage, peel off the preretinal ...
Summary: The aim of the protocol is to compare the ocular outcomes after spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage treated with an early vitrectomy versus ultrasound monitoring with late vitrectomy. The hypothesis is that an early vitrectomy could decrease the rate of retinal detachment occurring after a spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage.
Summary: Background and study aims When an infant is born premature, the blood vessels in the eyes have not developed fully on the retina, and can start to grow incorrectly and result in blindness. To prevent this from happening, premature infants are often screened, and treated with laser or injections into the eye to prevent retinal detachment. A new treatment strategy with steroid eye drops have been fo...
Summary: An explorative study of the Mantis Photonics hyperspectral camera for retinal imaging and estimation of retinal oxygenation. Primary objective: To evaluate the performance of the hyperspectral camera for non-invasive retinal examination in order to improve the diagnosis of diseases affecting the retina or central nervous system. Secondary objective: To investigate the possibilities of the use of a...
Summary: Based on the progress of cataract surgery, intraocular lens development, vitreoretinal surgery and anesthesia technology in recent years, the purpose of this study is to develop a new type of more accurate and minimally invasive combined surgery for cataract and fundus diseases, and to evaluate the advantages and value of the surgery as well as related complications, so as to minimize the surgical...
Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravitreal injection of ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution in patients with geographic atrophy associated with AMD. GA associated with AMD is one of the world's leading causes of visual disability. It is a progressive disease with no approved therapy to slow or arrest the process of continual photoreceptor and retinal epithelial (R...
Summary: Myopia (nearsightedness) is the most common eye disorder. Only second to age, it is the main risk factor for major degenerative eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or retinal detachment. Their risk increases with the degree of myopia. Hence, prevention of myopia and slowing its progression is of high relevance. Almost all clinical studies, including two large randomised clinical tr...
