Long-term IOL Decentration & Tilt in Eyes With PES After Cataract Surgery Scientists evaluated long-term intraocular lens decentration and tilt in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome following cataract surgery using Visante Omni anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Carl Zeiss; Jena, Germany) and the iTrace Visual Function Analyzer (Hoya Surgical Optics, Singapore).

Intralesional Macular Atrophy in Anti-VEGF Therapy for AMD in IVAN Trial Researchers reported on the development and progression of macular atrophy and its relationship with morphologic and functional measures in the Inhibition of Vascular endothelial growth factor in Age-related choroidal Neovascularisation (IVAN) trial. They performed a reading center analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial. Participants included individuals with previously untreated neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Color, fluorescein angiography and OCT images acquired at baseline and during two-year follow-up were graded systematically for MA presence. Researchers used regression models to assess relationships between MA and lesion morphology, and vision measures (best-corrected distance and near acuity, reading speed and index, and contrast sensitivity). |
