Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease that affects millions of older Americans, leading to blurred central vision and, in severe cases, blindness. While AMD is more prevalent ...

Background/aims This study investigated the risk factors for epiretinal membrane (ERM) in eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) that received silicone oil (SO) tamponade. Methods ...

The three incisions, or ports, Murray explains, allow the retina specialist to: (1) put saline solution into the eye to keep it inflated during surgery; (2) insert a light pipe into the eye; and (3) ...

Macular degeneration causes vision loss and primarily affects people age 65 and older. The condition affects the macula, the sensitive part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.There ...

The FA in 46 ERM eyes revealed capillary leakage in 36.4% of eyes without MME or cystoid macular edema (CME), 39% of eyes with MME, and increased hyperfluorescence in CME. Postoperatively, new-onset ...

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is an eye condition where a layer of cells forms on the inside of your retina. This layer of cells is called a membrane. Many people with this condition don’t know ...

Macular holes most commonly appear as we age and the gel-like fluid in our eyes starts to shrink. As it contracts, the gel pulls away from the retina. But if the gel is stuck to the macula, the ...

In this single-center retrospective study, we evaluated consecutive patients with tDME who underwent iOCT-assisted selective ERM peeling (Group A) or "dual blue" dye-assisted ERM and ILM peeling ...

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a semi-clear membrane that can form over your retina’s inner surface. It often causes minimal symptoms, but some people have vision loss or distorted vision.

Stressing the importance of annual eye exams and encouraging the use of an Amsler grid may help to prevent vision loss in these patients, the presenters explain. Mindy Loh, OD, and Sarah V. Cordes, OD ...

What research says about the risks of using LED light near your eyes. Unfortunately, we’re largely lacking large-scale, randomized clinical trials or peer-reviewed, rigorous research to offer ...

Background/Aims To report the prevalence of treatable complications (cystoid macular oedema, CME; epiretinal membrane, ERM and cataract) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods Consecutive ...
