Item type:Publication, Comparing results between the patients with choroidal neovascularization(CNV) in age related macula r degeneration (AMD) who had no treatment to those who(SOE, 2001-06); Ristova J.The aim of this stud is to show whether the patients with CNV in cases of AMD who underwent a LPC have a beneficial effect compared to the patients who have a natural history of the disease. Materials and Methods: In the period of 1997-1998 a clinical and fluorescein angiographical investigation was made in order to determinate the CNV in cases with AMD. A subgroup of 64 patients with extra foveolar and juxta foveolar AMD, who had initial lesion that ranged between 1 and 3 MPS disc areas was included in the study. The visual acuity(VA) ranged between finger counting and 20/100. 29 patients underwent Argon Laser Photocoagulation versus 35 who had no treatment. The follow-up period was 24 months. with monitoring of the patients every three months. Results: Persistent CNV was seen in 11/29 (37.9%) patients, and recurrent CNV occurred in 14/29 (48,2%) in the treated eyes within the follow-up period. The VA in the treated group showed that the baseline VA was maintained in 8/29 (27.5%), versus the non-treated group with 17/35 (20.5%) patients. Improvement of the VA in the treated group was seen in 4/29 (13.7%), compared to non-treated group 2/35 (5.7%). From the whole number of treated patients who had visual loss, a severe visual loss was seen in 7/17 (41.1%), while the number of the patients with severe visual loss in the non-treated group was 8/16 (50%). Conclusion: Having no big differences between the treated and non-treated group with CNV in AMD, LPC is an alternative but not a satisfactory method in the treatment of these patients. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Results of laser therapy in cases with retinal vein occlusions(Bulgarian Society of Ophthalmology, 2000-09); Nikolovska V.Purpose: of this study is to show the effect of laser therapy (LT) of the neovascularization and vitreal hemorrhage in cases with retinal vein occlusions (RVO). On the other hand is shown the effect of the same therapy on the macular edema and the visual acuity (VA). Method: The study includes 30 patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and 51 with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). 12/30 patients with CRVO had an ischemic form with neovascularization while the rest 18/30 had an ischemic form without neovascularization. 19/51 patients with BRVO had an ischemic form followed by neovascularization, 32/51 had nonischemic form with macular edema. Scatter photocoagulation was done in the ischemic forms while in the nonischemic forms with macular edema we have performed a grid photocoagulation with a follow up period of 10-24months. The LT was done with Argon Green Laser Photocoagulation - Coherent Novus 2000. Results: Regression of the neovascularization after the scatter photocoagulation was seen in 25/31 patients. Vitreal hemorrhage showed up in 3/29 patients, but only in the group of the patients with CRVO. Two of them had a spontaneous resorption while in the third one a vitrectomy was done. 20/32 patients ameliorated VA by 2 or more lines, 8/32 had the same VA while 4/32 had a decrease in VA after the grid photocoagulation. Conclusions: The scatter photocoagulation enables high percentage regression of the neovascularization and it's a prevention against serious complications in RVO. On the other hand, performing the grid photocoagulation improves the VA, although it isn't significant for a long-term follow up period. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
