Objetivos: Comparar o efeito do ranibizumabe intravítreo (0,3mg) e triacmicinolona (4mg) em diferentes parâmetros do domínio espectral da OCT e sua relação com a acuidade visual de pacientes com edema macular diabético. Métodos: Este estudo foi concebido como um estudo prospectivo randomizado. Os pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 2 grupos que receberam Ranibizumab Pro rata intravitreal (0,3mg) ou acetonido de Triamicinolona (4mg), a quem foi realizada a Spectral Domain OCT, bem como a melhor acuidade visual de Log MAR corrigida.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the profile of intravitreal applications of Ranibizumab in a population of adults attended at the Benjamin Constant Institute in the year of 2015, taking into account the effect on visual acuity and macular thickness after the treatment. The secondary objective is to present the main indications of this type of treatment in the eye care mentioned above. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in individuals over 20 years of age between March […]

Purpose: Study the prognostic factors for short-term visual improvement in pacients treated with ranibizumab (IVR) for diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: cross-sectional descriptive study in which 41 eletronic medical records of patients who attended in a private medical clinic in Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais in a period of August / 2016 to May / 2017. It was verified general data and previous history of patients who received consecutive monthly IVR for DME, analyzing sex, age and presence of previous […]

Objectives: The purpose of this work is to assess the safety and the efficacy of multi-spot laser in comparison with the conventional laser in the treatment of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy with CSME in relation to the visual outcome, central macular thickness by (OCT) and the presence of adverse events. Methods: prospective randomized study on total number of 50 eyes divided in two groups each one 25 patients . group A patients underwent focal, grid laser or modified grid macular laser […]

Objetivos: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a segurança e a eficácia do laser multi-spot em comparação com o laser convencional no tratamento da retinopatia diabética não proliferativa com CSME em relação ao resultado visual, à espessura macular central por (OCT) e à presença de eventos adversos. Métodos: estudo prospectivo randomizado sobre o número total de 50 olhos divididos em dois grupos, cada um de 25 pacientes. Os pacientes do grupo A foram submetidos a fotocoagulação focal, a laser de […]

The diagnosis of macular retinoschisis is often complex and demands complementary exams to be confirmed. This is the report of a case of a 27 years old man diagnosed with macular retinoschisis, in which En face OCT and OCT angiography were used to identify and demonstrate the typical patterns of the disease, as well as distinguish them from the findings of cystoid macular edema.

Purpose: To propose a predictive model to aid in the decision to perform the intravitreal anti-VEGF injection, based on the risk factors quantification and hierarchy presented by diabetic patients. Methods: It is a cross-sectional, observational and inferential study carried out in three institutions in Paraíba from July 2015 to September 2016. The logistic regression model was used to obtain the predictive model and data were analyzed in R(r) software. Results: Eighty patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes, over 18 […]
