OZURDEX showed faster BCVA improvement than sham in BRVO/CRVO studies. 20-30% of patients achieved 3-line improvement within first two months. Effect duration is approximately one to three months
OCT is a non-contact, high-resolution imaging modality for retina. Produces cross-sectional tomographic images similar to ultrasound. Image quality can be affected by cataracts and patient motion
OCT creates cross-sectional retinal images with 10-15 micron accuracy. First introduced in 1991 by Huang et al. Uses interferometry to create retinal maps
First described by Dr. Sjögren in 1950 as reticular dystrophy. Group of autosomal dominant macular diseases affecting retinal pigment epithelium. Caused by mutations in PRPH2 gene on chromosome 6
OCT creates 3D digital images of the retina using light waves. Exam takes about 10 minutes and is non-invasive and painless. Patients look at a target while the machine scans without touching
Patients undergo routine eye exams and contact lens/glass procedures. Services include sonography, visual field tests, and electrophysiological tests. Specialized services available for Retinopathy of Prematurity
