Caracterización clinicopatológica del melanoma uveal

Rev. cuba. oftalmol; 31 (4), 2018
Objetivo: Describir las características clinicopatológicas de los pacientes con diagnóstico de melanoma de la úvea. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de serie de casos, en el Instituto Cubano de Oncología y Radiobiología de Cuba, desde enero del año 2011 hasta junio de 2...

Evaluation of choroidal perfusion changes in obese patients: ocular effects of insulin resistance

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (6), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to evaluate choroidal per­fusion changes in obese patients using optical coherence tomography and dynamic contour tonometry, to determine whether these changes are associated with body mass index, and to assess the ocular effects of insulin resistance. Methods: We retrospect...

The effect of smoking cessation on posterior ocular structures

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study evaluated changes in cho­roidal and macular thickness in healthy volunteers and chronic smokers. Methods: Thirty-three eyes of 33 chronic smokers (study group) and 33 eyes of 33 healthy controls who had never smoked were prospectively evaluated. Comprehensive ophthalmic as...

Peripapillary choroidal thickness in contralateral eyes after evisceration of diseased eyes

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate peripapillary choroidal thickness changes in contralateral eyes of patients who had undergone evisceration of their diseased eyes. Methods: In this retrospective study, peripapillary choroidal thickness parameters in 34 eyes of 34 patients who had undergone diseased-eye ev...

Normative values for optical coherence tomography parameters in healthy children and interexaminer agreement for choroidal thickness measurements

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To (a) determine the normative values for optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters such as central macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and choroidal thickness in healthy children; (b) investigate the relationships of these parameters with axial length, central ...

Are the effects of hemodialysis on ocular parameters similar during and after a hemodialysis session?

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (5), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the changes in several ocular parameters, including choroidal thickness, during and after hemodialysis. Methods: Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis were included. The patients underwent an ophthalmic examination, including i...

Multimodal assessment of patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: To examine differences between fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICG) findings in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), comparing these with optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Methods: Ten consecutive patients with chroni...

Comparison of optical coherence tomographic findings between Behcet disease patients with and without ocular involvement and healthy subjects

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, and the choroid thickness between patients with Behcet disease and healthy subjects by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: Ninety eyes of 45 healthy subject...

The effect of laser pan-retinal photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab injections on the OCT-measured macular choroidal thickness of eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Clinics; 72 (2), 2017
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of laser pan-retinal photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab injections on macular choroidal thickness parameters in eyes with high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: High-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients undergoing l...

Subfoveal choroidal thickness changes after intravitreal bevacizumab therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) changes after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed the m...
