Purpose: The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of the treatment of 54 eyes with chronic form of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using photodynamic therapy in a reduced (half) verteporfin (HD-PDT) dosing regimen. Materials and Methods: Our prospective study included 54 eyes of 52 patients (40 males, 12 females) at an average age of 5...

Purpose: Analysis of the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in eyes treated with photodynamic therapy in a reduced dosing regimen (HD-PDT, half dose of verteporfin) for the chronic form of central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). Materials and methods: Retrospective evaluation of OCTA findings in 54 eyes of 52 patients treated for cCSC...

Purposes: The primary aim of the study was to assess the response of intraocular pressure (IOP) to the acute ingestion of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) compared to hydrogen-free water (placebo) in healthy subjects. The effect of HRW intake on central corneal thickness (CCT) was also monitored. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-four healthy volunteers (5 men, 19 women) aged between 20 and 33 were included i...

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a disease characterized by serous detachment of the neuroretina, especially in the posterior pole of the eye. It is often accompanied by serous detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and associated with the leakage of fluid into the subretinal space through the defective RPE. CSC most often affects men of working age. The exact pathophysiology ...

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a serious ocular pathology. Therapeutic options are surgical only. Surgery is in advanced stages technically and financially demanding. In this paper, we consider the results operated detachments, which were for their advancement, with respect to the technical possibilities of the present intraocular surgery, on the border of the surgical possibilities. The gro...
