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 […]

Objective: Monovision is a concept that describes the purposely unequal correction of vision from one eye to the other and eye to eye, and is mainly used to correct presbyopia. The main objective was to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with advanced monovision refractive surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the need for glasses after surgery, and to analyze the profile of the participants. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of a series of cases was carried out based on the review […]

Objective: To analyze the distribution of uveitis in patients at Uveitis Sector of Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio de Janeiro State. Methods: Retrospective epidemiological study of 63 appointments performed by ophthalmologist of Uveitis Sector at Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio De Janeiro State, between March and October of 2016. Results: The mean age was 45.54 (±15.8). 50.5% were female. Anterior uveitis corresponded to 63.49%. Only 33.3% of patient had an active inflammation at the moment of medical avaliation. […]

Objective: To compare changes in refraction and ocular biometric parameters in hyperopic children with and without full optical correction. Methods: Non-randomized prospecting study with 41 subjects (21 males and 20 females) aged 4 to 6 years with accommodative esotropia and or hyperopia between 3 to 6 diopters, select in Hospital Geral Universitário and Oftalmocenter Santa Rosa. The patients were divided in two groups: group 1 for hyperopic patients that did not need to use optical correction or could use partial […]

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é examinar o efeito da capsulotomia de laser Nd: YAG na refração, espessura macular central (CMT) e espessura da camada de fibra nervosa retiniana (RNFL). Métodos: 42 olhos de 42 pacientes que trataram com capsulotomia laser Nd: YAG foram incluídos neste estudo prospectivo. O equivalente esférico (SE), a refração de potência cíclica, a espessura CMT e RNFL foram avaliados pré-operatório e no primeiro dia pós-operatório, primeira semana e primeiro mês pós-operatório. Resultados: valores equivalentes esféricos […]

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 […]

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy on refraction, central macular thickness (CMT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Methods: 42 eyes of 42 patients who treated with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy were included in thisprospective study. Spherical equivalent (SE), cyclindrical power refraction, CMT and RNFL thickness were evaluated preoperatively and at postoperative first day, first week and postoperative first month. Results: Spherical equivalent values and central macular thickness values did […]

Objetivo: Avaliar os aspectos epidemiológicos de úlceras de córnea em um centro privado de referência oftalmológica. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo a partir de arquivos eletrônicos de pacientes tratados por úlceras de córnea durante um período de 7 anos pelo mesmo médico (RJMF) no Centro de Olhos São Francisco, entre Junho de 2007 e Junho de 2014. Estes pacientes foram avaliados quanto a fatores de risco, trauma, co-morbidades, uso de lentes de contato, tipo de microrganismo encontrado, tratamento e evolução do doente. […]
