Results: There are currently eight registered clinical trials enrolling patients with Stargardt disease; all in phase I or II aiming at four mechanisms of action: inhib...

Purpose: To describe clinical findings in patient with dynamic changes of vitreomacular interface and retina. To provide summary of findings about mechanism of accommodation and its potential impact on vitreous and retina. Methods: In 57 year old patient we performed comprehensive ophtalmological examination including spectral domain optical coherent tomography (SD-OCT). We observed the impact of ...

Introduction: Achromatopsia is an autosomal recessive retinal disorder with an estimated prevalence ranging from 1 in 30.000 to 50.000. The disease is caused by mutations in six different genes.

Retinal prostheses, retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) transplantation, gene therapy and optogenetics will be described in this paper.Methodology: Describing the basic characteristics and mechanisms o...

Introduction: Premacular hemorrhage (PH) and sub-internal limiting membrane hemorrhage (sub-ILM-H) are among the causes of sudden deterioration of central visual acuity. Anatomical and functional outcomes of different therapeutic options were evaluated retrospectively. Methods: The study included three eyes of three patients (2 females and 1 male). Location of the hemorrhage was determined by spec...
