Thorough Perioperative Laser Photocoagulation in Prevention of Neovascular Glaucoma after Vitrectomy for Diabetic Macular Edema

Yuka Aoyama-Araki, Fumiyuki Araki, Tomoyasu Shiraya and Satoshi Kato

Article Type: ORIGINAL RESEARCH | First Published: September 20, 2018

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a severe complication that may follow pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for diabetic macular edema (DME). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative fluorescein angiography (FA) and targeted photocoagulation of the non-perfused area (NPA) in preventing the occurrence of postoperative NVG....

Iron-Overload, Oxidative DNA Damage and Differential Transcript Expression of Iron Homeostasis Genes in Human Cortical Cataracts

Sankaranarayanan Rajkumar, Nair Gopinathan Vidya, Darshini Ankit Ganatra and Abhay Raghukant Vasavada

Article Type: ORIGINAL RESEARCH | First Published: September 10, 2018

The purpose of the study is to determine the level of iron, its role in oxidative damage and to profile and measure the level of transcript expression of genes responsible for iron homeostasis in lenses of human cataracts. Human whole lenses (WLs) were obtained from donors' eyes (n = 33) within 8 hours of death. A total of 167 (control, n = 35 and cataract, n = 132) anterior central capsules (ACC) harboring lens epithelial cells (LECs) and lens aspirate containing LECs, primary and secondary len...

Therapeutic Efficacy of Subthreshold Laser Photocoagulation using a Conventional Pattern Scan Laser for Macular Edema in a Retrospective Study

Tomoyasu Shiraya, Satoshi Kato and Fumiyuki Araki

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: August 11, 2018

Subthreshold laser photocoagulation has emerged and is changing minimally invasive treatment for macular edema (ME) affected by retinal vascular diseases. However, this laser method requires specific photocoagulator, and it cannot be introduced at each facility. We investigated the efficacy of subthreshold laser photocoagulation using a conventional pattern scan laser (PS-STLT) in treating ME in clinical practice....
