Purpose
Alkali burns are the most common, severe chemical ocular injuries, their functional prognosis depending on corneal wound healing efficiency. The purpose of our study was to compare the benefits of amniotic membrane (AM) grafts and homogenates for wound healing in the presence or absence of previous all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) treatment.
Retinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare unilateral developmental disease that is stable over time in most cases. The authors present a case of a man who was diagnosed with an asymptomatic juxtapapillary AVM of the left eye at the age of 25 years.
A 70-year-old woman presented for visual loss in the left eye for 1 year. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/400. A fundus examination revealed a macular hole. Optical coherence tomography confirmed the diagnosis of a large macular hole (diameter, 740 μm) with vitreomacular detachment.
