Summary:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in people aged 50 years and older in the advanced world. The article deals with the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the disease. Special attention is given to a new approach to the prevention and treatment of AMD with the help of melatonin; modern management options and scientifc achievements are discussed. Many researchers have shown that melatonin is able to protect retinal epithelial cells from oxidative damage. Perhaps the physiological reduction of melatonin in the elderly may be an important factor in the dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium, which is the cause of AMD.

Summary:

Purpose: to evaluate the results of fve-year follow-up of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy after combined treatment using intravitreal administration of angiogenesis inhibitors and subtotal panretinal laser coagulation of the retina. Material and Methods. The study included 42 patients (42 eyes) with severe forms of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. In all cases, the frst step was intravitreal administration of an angiogenesis inhibitor (IVV AI) of-label. The second stage was carried out sessions of panretinal laser coagulation (PRLK), with the frst session — no later than two weeks after the IVV AI. Subsequent sessions of laser treatment were carried out with an interval of 1.5–2 months before the completion of subtotal PRLK (3 sessions). In the course of further follow-up, additional treatment was performed as necessary. The observation period was 5 years. Results. By the end of the observation period, complete regression of retinovitreal neovascularization and neovascularization of the optic nerve head was observed on 39 and 32 eyes (92.8 and 76.2 % respectively). During the observation period, all patients underwent subtotal PRLK, additional sessions of laser treatment were required in 19 cases (45.2 %), of which in 12 cases 1 additional session was performed, in 7 cases — 2 sessions of PRLP each. IVV AI was performed once in all cases, in 11 cases (26.2 %) additional injections were required, with the largest number of injections performed during the frst 2 years. Conclusion. The proposed algorithm for the management and treatment of severe forms of proliferative diabetic retinopathy has demonstrated its efectiveness, as evidenced by fve-year observation data.

Summary:

Aim: to compare the efects of a combination of subthreshold micropulse laser irradiation (SMPLI) with injections of autologous platelet plasma (PP) in the region of the pterygopal fossa on the afected side with the efect of SMPLI in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSСR). Material and Methods. This study was conducted on 60 patients (60 eyes) with CSCR. Patients were divided into 2 groups: in the comparison group patients received treatment only with SMPLI with a wavelength of 577 nm. In the experimental group patients received SMPLI with TP injections. TP was started after 72 hours, with 3 injections into the area of pterygopalatine fossa in the afected eye, with an interval between injections of 72 hours. Ophthalmologic examination, OCT and fuorescent angiography were carried out before treatment and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, and ELISA assessment of IL-4, — 6 and -17A levels in lacrimal fuid was performed. Results. In the experimental group, where SMPLI+TP were performed, visual acuity has signifcantly improved, thickness of central section of macula was noted to have been decreased, and photosensitivity of central zone of retina signifcantly improved when compared to the SMPLI group. In the SMPLI+TP group the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-17A in tear fuid increased. SMPLI was performed using Supra 577 nm laser device (Quantel Medical, France) over the entire area of macular edema. Conclusion. SMPLI+PRP treatment in patients with acute CSCR is efective for restoration of visual function.
