Steroids do not improve PDT results for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

It has been reported that steroids are beneficial in patients undergoing PDT for AMD, but recent studies have called this into question. While it is possible that combination steroid/PDT therapy for AMD may have some benefits, such as decreasing the need for retreatment, the visual outcomes are now believed to be the same as PDT monotherapy. Now,...

Avastin and Lucentis produce same vision outcomes for AMD

This is yet another in a series of recent papers reporting on Avastin vs Lucentis comparisons. To date, no study has found any significant difference in clinical efficacy. However, like the current study, no study has been large enough, nor sufficiently long in duration to find small but potentially important differences in safety. While these...

Blood thinners increase risk of subretinal hemorrhages in patients with AMD

There is no evidence that patients taking blood thinners suffer subretinal hemorrhage more frequently than patients that do not take these medications. However, if a hemorrhage does occur, then it will be larger in patients taking blood thinners. This study also found that high blood pressure is an important risk factor for subretinal hemorrhage...

Central serous chorioretinopathy responds to sleep apnea treatment

Sleep apnea has been associated with CSC, and now it has been reported that treatment of sleep apnea can speed resolution of CSC. Although this is just a single case report, and needs to be confirmed by additional research, it does indicate a need to consider sleep apnea in the management of patients with CSC.

Retinal angiomatous proliferation
Feb 25, 2010
Compared with combination therapy of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) plus photodynamic therapy (PDT), intravitreal Avastin (IVB) plus PDT was significantly more effective in maintaining and improving visual acuity and in reducing the number of treatment for patients with retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP), according to a new study....

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is not effective in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) without intense hyperfluorescence on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), according to a new study. Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is commonly seen in young or middle-aged adults as localized detachment of the neurosensory retina....

There is no difference in the visual acuity (VA) outcomes after Avastin (bevacizumab) or Lucentis (ranibizumab) treatment for AMD, according to a new study. In 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Lucentis (ranibizumab) for the treatment of exudative AMD. Before its approval, many ophthalmologists already...

About MyVisionTest

MyVisionTest.com has been developed to supplement the traditional Amsler Grid for those patients that have been instructed by their eye doctor to monitor their vision at home. MyVisionTest employs a technique known as entoptic perimetry to detect defects in your vision. Research has found entoptic perimetry to be superior to the traditional Amsler grid in detecting such defects. We also offer you the ability to save and review past test results, making it easier for you to detect changes in your vision over time.
