Risk of glaucoma following anti-VEGF therapy

There have been numerous reports of sustained elevation of IOP in patients receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, especially Avastin. However, this is the first study I have seen that reports the frequency of this occurrence. Here we have 10% of Avastin and 3% of Lucentis patients developing glaucoma. Among patients with pre-existing...

Hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) implicated in AMD

This exciting discovery opens the door to greater understanding of the factors that can lead to AMD. It is not clear yet precisely how hepatic lipase function influences AMD. It is possible that it has something to do with HDL ("good") cholesterol, because hepatic lipase plays an important role in HDL metabolism, but for now this is just...

Macular pigment assessment in clinical practice

Lutein supplementation will often result in an increase in macular pigment. Increases in macular pigment can improve vision, filter out harmful rays of the sun, and provide antioxidant protection. There are a variety of different ways to measure macular pigment, but all of the devices in this study use heterochromatic flicker photometry, a...

Link between iron and macular degeneration studied

Research that has identified high iron levels within the retina as a contributor to the development of AMD. Iron is essential for good health, but it is a potent generator of oxidative stress. Retinal iron levels increase as part of the normal aging of the eye, and it is suspected that the increased oxidative stress of iron overload contributes to...

Vitrectomy decreases the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new research study. There is no published evidence that a vitrectomy hastens the progression of AMD. Intraocular surgery is known however to incite significant inflammation and breakdown of the blood–ocular barrier, which may last from weeks to...

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
Aug 29, 2010
The polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) phenotype in Caucasian patients is associated with the major alleles in three age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-associated loci, suggesting that PCV and AMD are genetically similar, according to a new research study. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is characterized by aneurysmal dilations...

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.
