Population-Based Analysis [Socioeconomics and Health Services] http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3344937&cid=s_32281_30_f&fid=32281&url=http%3A%2F%2Farchopht.ama-assn.org%2Fcgi%2Fcontent%2Fshort%2F128%2F3%2F359%3Frss%3D1 Conclusions  The development of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. To our knowledge, this study is the first to quantify the dramatic uptake of these treatments at a population level. Our findings also suggest that off-label injection of bevacizumab was highly prevalent in Ontario. Serial intravitreal injections requiring direct physician administration and the concentration of injection procedures in the hands of a small number of ophthalmologists have the potential to affect services for other vision-threatening conditions.

Remarkable advances in our understanding of the genetic and biological foundations of this disease were derived from a recent convergence of scientific and clinical data. Importantly, the more recent identification of AMD-associated variations in a number of complement pathway genes has provided strong support for earlier, paradigm-shifting studies that suggested that aberrant function of the complement system plays a key role in disease etiology. Collectively, this wealth of information has provided an impetus for the development of powerful tools to accurately diagnose disease risk and progression and complement-based therapeutics that will ultimately delay or prevent AMD.

Methods  One thousand six hundred thirty-six individuals with intraocular pressure (IOP) from 24 to 32 mm Hg in 1 eye and 21 to 32 mm Hg in the fellow eye were randomized to observation or to topical ocular hypotensive medication. Median time of treatment in the medication group was 13.0 years. After a median of 7.5 years without treatment, the observation group received medication for a median of 5.5 years. To determine if there is a penalty for delaying treatment, we compared the cumulative proportions of participants who developed POAG at a median follow-up of 13 years in the original observation group and in the ...

Guyton Lecture [Surgical Technique] http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3252742&cid=s_32281_30_f&fid=32281&url=http%3A%2F%2Farchopht.ama-assn.org%2Fcgi%2Fcontent%2Fshort%2F128%2F2%2F241%3Frss%3D1 There is an increasing need to obtain fresh tumor tissue and normal tissue for genetic studies and research following enucleation of an eye for uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, and other lesions. A concern about doing this is that the globe will often collapse and lead to difficulties with gross and histopathologic interpretation. The technique reported herein is based on the creation of an opening in the sclera using an 8-mm corneal trephine followed by removal of tumor tissue. This method provides adequate tissue, preserves the spherical configuration of the eye, and allows for excellent histopathologic sections.

Systemic delivery of oxygen to the anterior chamber seems to play a greater role in corneal oxygenation than previously thought. Adhering to a slower ascent profile results in less corneal edema. Visual acuity in healthy corneas is not adversely affected by edema at altitudes of up to 6300 m. Individuals with more acute mountain sickness–related symptoms had thicker corneas, possibly due to their higher overall susceptibility to hypoxia.

Results for nevus cells beneath the junctional zone were overwhelmingly negative for HMB-45 and Ki-67. Two nevi and all melanomatous nodules were positive for HMB-45 (P < .001). A higher Ki-67 proliferation index convincingly separated melanomas from nevi (P < .001). Immunostaining for HMB-45 and Ki-67 are valuable adjuncts to careful histopathologic evaluation in assessing benign and malignant conjunctival melanocytic tumors.

Combination therapy can be used to treat patients for whom monotherapy does not provide sufficient IOP reduction. Application to Clinical Practice  The simplicity, efficacy, and tolerability of FCLT contribute to its utility in clinical practice.

In view of the small size of the sample in this study and the relatively low frequency of juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia, a multicentric clinical trial is necessary to validate our results.Published online February 8, 2010 (doi:10.1001/archophthalmol.2009.408).

Macular Disease [Special Article] http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3161867&cid=s_32281_30_f&fid=32281&url=http%3A%2F%2Farchopht.ama-assn.org%2Fcgi%2Fcontent%2Fshort%2F128%2F1%2F117%3Frss%3D1 Conventional photographs do not show how, at any moment of visual fixation, neural vision is clear only in the foveal center. We have developed new computer simulations to show both normal vision and vision with macular disease. These simulations show the nature of momentary vision for life tasks such as reading, facial recognition, and walking in the street. They also dramatically show the impact of macular disease (with scotomas and visual distortion), as there is no surrounding region of clarity. We hope these images will be instructive to both physicians and patients.

The technique was performed in a laboratory model using cadaveric human eyes. A commercially available neurovascular clip was used to securely fasten the intraocular lens to the iris with minimal trauma. The use of a metal clip has the advantage of avoiding potential risks of suture fixation such as suture breakage. Also, this technique is easier than suturing and may potentially serve as another tool in a cornea surgeon's armamentarium.

Mutations in RPGRIP1, AIPL1, and LCA5 accounted for disease in 10 of the 14 families. This study illustrates the differences in phenotype, for both the anterior and posterior segments, seen between patients with identical or different mutations in the LCA genes and also suggests that at least some of the phenotypic variation is age dependent. Clinical Relevance  The LCA phenotype, especially one including different generations in the same family, may be used to refine a molecular diagnostic strategy.

Clinical Relevance  Identifying EPO genetic markers for high risk of developing DR could lead to the possibility of developing novel treatments or preventive therapies.

The combined triamcinolone and ciprofloxacin treatment may eliminate noncompliance issues and may prove to be a valuable clinical tool for surgical prophylaxis. Clinical Relevance  The combined triamcinolone and ciprofloxacin treatment may be a new useful strategy for surgical prophylaxis.

In the near group, stroma-to-stroma healing stimulated more activated keratocytes and hence more haze. Successful DALK requires minimal central healing for clarity but significant suture-stimulated healing at the edge to prevent corneal bulge. Clinical Relevance  Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is rarely accompanied by rejection, avoids entrance into the anterior chamber, and can be performed with tissue that does not have living keratocytes. Interface healing is a determinant of the final visual acuity; depth of the lamellar bed is a major determinant of the healing response. Although dissection to bare the Descemet membrane is more difficult, there is less keratocyte activation and scarring. (Source:...

A graft can remain clear after 5 years even when the ECD is below 500 cells/mm2.

This finding may have significant implications for how we classify and treat patients whose ROP is progressing despite laser treatment. Furthermore, the use of the HHSD-OCT can provide valuable insight into the interaction of the retina, vitreous, and ridge in patients with progressive ROP, and it allows shallow detachments and retinoschisis to be diagnosed earlier and more accurately than would otherwise be possible.

Given the exploratory nature of this analysis and because intravitreal triamcinolone adverse effects include cataract formation and glaucoma, use of this treatment merely to reduce the rates of progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy or worsening of the level of diabetic retinopathy does not seem warranted at this time.

During his lifetime he was probably best known as the inventor of the first fused bifocal lens, which was marketed very successfully as the Kryptok lens. He may be better known today for performing cataract surgery on Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), the American Impressionist artist, and on James Joyce (1882-1941), the Irish author. Little known, but remarkable, is his thesis for his second medical degree, Le Traitement Chirurgical de l’Astigmie (The Surgical Treatment of Astigmatism).

Clinical Relevance  This study underscores the importance of obtaining extensive pedigree information and comparative ophthalmologic clinical information, as the phenotypic findings may vary greatly among independent family members. The study also affirms the paradigm shift from diagnosis assignment based on eponyms to that based on gene mutation type.
