Abstract:
Retinal detachment contributes to nearly 500 new blind registrations in the United Kingdom each year. In contrast to other retinal blinding disorders, blindness from retinal detachment is potentially avoidable with a better understanding of the mechanisms defining sub-groups at risk of the event. The majority of retinal detachments are rhegmatogenous, resulting from retinal tears that occur during the process of posterior vitreous detachment. Posterior vitreous detachment is generally considered to be a common, age-related synchitic and syneretic degeneration of the vitreous gel. However, this

Abstract:
Retina is a unique site in the human body where the microcirculation can be imaged directly and non-invasively, allowing us to study in vivo the structure and pathology of the human microcirculation. Retinal images can be quantitatively assessed with computerized imaging techniques, enabling us to measure several different quantitative traits derived from the retinal vasculature. Arterial and venular calibres are the most extensively studied traits of the retinal microvasculature and numerous epidemiological studies demonstrated promising associations with systemic and ocular diseases as well

Abstract:
Retinal detachment (RD) is a leading cause of blindness and although final surgical reattachment rate has greatly improved, visual outcome in many macula-off detachments is disappointing, mainly because of photoreceptor cell death. We previously showed that both lutein and Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) are neuroprotective in a rodent model of ischemia/reperfusion injury. The objective of this study is to investigate lutein and LBP as possible pharmacological adjuncts to surgery. Lutein: Subretinal injections of 1.4% sodium hyaluronate were used to induce RD in Sprague-Dawley rats

Abstract:
Primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is one of the most common ophthalmic emergencies. RRD is caused by a full thickness break in the retina which initiates separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. The subsequent accumulation of fluid within this potential space extends the area of detachment and causes visual loss. Previous assessments of RRD incidence have demonstrated large differences in case definition and methodology, with incidence estimates varying 3-fold geographically and in different time periods. To date there have been no sys

Abstract:
A genetic predisposition to Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RD) has been suggested for over 40 years. Ectopia Lentis (EL) is known to have a genetic aetiology as part of Marfan Syndrome, other ocular syndromes and when occurring in isolation. This work investigates the genetic aetiology to these conditions in Mendelian and non Mendelian inheritance. The work in this thesis establishes a clear genotype-phenotype correlation between isolated EL and its most important causative gene: ADAMTSL4. This suggests that mutations in this gene result in a more severe phenotype than other genes causing

Moreover, after a surgical procedure called vitrectomy the vitreous body may be completely removed and replaced by tamponade fluids.

No published reports have shown RPE-hiPSCs to be capable of autophagy and exocytosis of waste products.

Objetivo: Analisar outcomes visuais e alterações microvasculares superficiais da retina em doentes com descolamento regmatogéneo primário da retina, submetidos a vitrectomia via pars plana (VPP). Métodos: Neste estudo retrospetivo, informação clínica foi colhida à admissão e aos 3 meses após cirurgia. A realização de angiografia por tomografia de coerência ótica (A-TCO) ocorreu aos 3 meses após VPP. Os parâmetros dos plexos vasculares superficiais colhidos na A-TCO foram comparados entre o olho afetado e o olho adelfo. Para além disso, os descolamentos mácula-on foram comparados com os descola

The data contained nation-wide claim data started from January 2001 to December 2003. All the patients admitted to hospital for surgery with the principal diagnosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (ICD 9 CM: 361.0) were recruited in this study. The outcome indicator was 30-day and 365-day readmission rates after the surgery. Various factors (including factors of patients, hospitals, surgeons and operative methods) which may possibly have any influen

Abstract:
We illustrate here how a range of fluid and solid mechanics problems relevant to the human eye have been combined in a continuing PhD study. Anterior chamber flow, the solid mechanics of tonometry, the effects of scleral buckle surgery and the mechanics of retinal detachment are all discussed. Finally, a number of other aye problems that are amenable to a theoretical mechanics treatment are proposed.

The retinal detachments is well known sequelae of heavy myopia, is also a potentially blinding condition. Therefore, this study used the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), inpatient expenditures by admissions (DD) and registry for contracted medical facilities (HOSB) from 1997 to 2008.   The ICD-9-CM D Code of retinal detachment and defects is 361.00-361.09. The SAS 9.2 and SPSS 18.0 were used for data analysis.   This study showed that retinal detachment and defects inpat

Retinal detachment has also been a substantial problem both globally and nationally. Both of these conditions are prevalent in patients of 50 years and older. The treatment for both conditions is for surgery to be performed. In the Western Cape the three leading hospitals do n
