Intravitreal Triamcinolone versus Laser Photocoagulation as a Primary Treatment for Diabetic Macular Oedema
Posted by Bharat (#1) 4541 days ago (Editorial)
Diabetic macular oedema is the leading causes of blindness. Laser photocoagulation reduces the risk of visual loss. However recurrences are common and despite laser treatment, patients with diabetic macular oedema experienced progressive loss of vision. Stabilization of the blood retinal barrier introduces a rationale for intravitreal triamcinolone treatment in diabetic macular oedema. This study

Glutamate receptors exist not only in the brain but also in the eyes, report researchers. This may explain the link between neurological diseases and cataracts and may also play a role in the unintended consequences antidepressants and antiepileptic drugs have.To see more details visit,www.medscape.com
Astigmatism Management at the Time of Cataract Surgery
Posted by Bharat (#1) 4504 days ago (Editorial)
Patients expect their vision to improve after cataract surgery and, increasingly, they expect to be free of the encumbrance of glasses and contact lenses. These expectations are driven by technological advancements throughout the ophthalmic industry and the experiences of family and friends. To meet or exceed patient expectations, cataract surgeons must pay increasing attention to the management
How A Bacterial Pathogen Breaks Down Barriers To Enter And Infect Cells
Posted by Bharat (#1) 4492 days ago (Editorial)
Scientists from the Schepens Eye Research Institute, a subsidiary of Mass. Eye and Ear and affiliate of Harvard Medical School, have found for the first time that a bacterial pathogen can literally mow down protective molecules, known as mucins, on mucus membranes to enter and infect a part of the body. Their landmark study, published in PLoS ONE, describes how they discovered that an "epidemic"
