Cataract surgery and the risk of progression of macular degeneration - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36484207/
Cataract surgery should be discussed in patients with both AMD and visually significant cataract. Patients should be reassured that the cataract surgery will not increase the risk of AMD progression....
Conclusions: Cataract surgery and the risk of progression of macular degeneration"
Real-world outcomes of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for retinal vascular vein occlusion in Tibet, China

AIM: To evaluate the outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents for patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) related-macular edema (ME) in Tibetan. METHODS: A retrospective, observational, single-center...
Conclusions: Anti-VEGF therapy is effective and safe in Tibetan patients for the treatment of RVO related ME.

Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in patients with submacular hemorrhage caused by neovascular age-related macular degeneration - Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00417-022-05885-2
Purpose Patients with extensive submacular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have a poor visual prognosis despite surgical intervention. Systemic blood-thinning drugs, which are commonly prescribed in the...
Conclusions: " Blood thinners in patients with AMD affect the severity of SMH. Consequently, the indication for their intake should be critically evaluated."
Analysis of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness in retinal vein occlusion with resolved macular edema - International Ophthalmology
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10792-022-02569-y
Purpose To analyze the retinal ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) changes in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) eyes with resolved macular edema using optical coherence tomography. Methods We compared the average...
Conclusions: " A decrease of GCIPL thickness in RVO was observed even after anatomic restoration and associated with VA prognosis. These GCIPL defects could be attributable to systemic risks and RVO itself, not anti-VEGF effects."
