Multicenter Study Comparative StudyIntravitreal dexamethasone implant versus anti-VEGF injection for treatment-naïve patients with retinal vein occlusion and macular edema: a 12-month follow-up study.
The objective of his study was to compare the visual and anatomical outcomes in treatment-naïve patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion after intravitreal injections of dexamethasone implants (DEX) and anti-VEGF. ⋯ Visual acuity recovery was better in the DEX group than in the anti-VEGF group at month 3, but with no difference in CMT. In patients who did not change treatment, the long-term anatomical and visual outcome was similar between the DEX and anti-VEGF groups.

Longitudinal analysis of retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness in ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate longitudinal analysis of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and perifoveal ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness in patients being treated with ethambutol (EMB). ⋯ Thickening of the peripapillary RNFL and thinning of the perifoveal GCIPL is an effective quantitative and early marker for diagnosis of EMB-induced optic neuropathy.
