Since August 2014, aflibercept (trade name Eylea) has been available also for patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema (DMO). The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency ...

The fovea centralis, a small pit in the back of the eye, is the part of most acute vision. The area around the fovea is known as the macula or "yellow spot". An oedema in the macula can impair ...

The fovea centralis, or fovea for short, sits in the middle of the Macula lutea (or macula) of the retina, where the slender, funnel-like ocular cones are especially closely packed together.

The fovea centralis – so called because it is a pit in the center of the macula of the retina – contains a number of closely-packed funnel-like inverted cones that connect directly to nerve ...

Macular pseudohole characteristics on OCT include invaginated or heaped foveal edges, concomitant epiretinal membrane with central opening, and steep macular contour in the central fovea with near ...

Similarly for diabetic macular edema we found two susceptibility genes expressed at higher levels in the blood vessels in the fovea than in the periphery.” Macular degeneration and diabetic ...

However, dry age-related macular degeneration is the much more common form, accounting for around 85%-90% of cases. Though it’s less severe than wet AMD, it can cause substantial vision loss in ...

Vitrectomy with a fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling technique reduced the development of full-thickness macular hole in eyes with foveal retinal detachment related to myopic ...

Resolving naked-eye double stars presents an unusual visual challenge. To see fine detail, we usually look directly at the object of study so that light falls onto the eye’s fovea centralis ...

The fovea centralis, a small pit in the back of the eye, is the part of most acute vision. The area around the fovea is known as the macula or "yellow spot." An oedema in the macula can impair ...
