RESUMO
La degeneración macular asociada a la edad (DMAE) constituye una de las principales causas de la pérdida de agudeza visual (AV) en los mayores de 50 años en el mundo, siendo la DMAE neovascular (DMAEn) la causante del 80% de los casos de pérdida de visión severa debido a esta enfermedad. Hace ya más de una década que se emplean los fármacos antifactor de crecimiento del endotelio vascular (anti-VEGF) para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad, cambiando drásticamente el pronóstico visual de estos pacientes. Sin embargo, los primeros estudios de los que se disponían datos de los resultados eran a corto plazo. En la actualidad existen ya diferentes series publicadas de los resultados de la DMAE a largo plazo tras el tratamiento con anti-VEGF, siendo el objetivo de la presente revisión sintetizar dichos resultados. El seguimiento medio de los estudios incluidos fue de 8,2 años (rango: 5-12 años). La AV inicial media fue 55,3 letras del Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) (rango: 45,6-65) siendo la AV final media 50,1 letras (rango: 33,0-64,3), existiendo una pérdida media de 5,2 letras. Al final del seguimiento un 29,4% de los pacientes mantuvieron una AV>70 letras. El 67,9% de los pacientes se mantuvo estable al final del seguimiento (<15 letras de pérdida), existiendo una pérdida severa (≥15 letras) del 30,1%. La fibrosis y la atrofia fueron las principales causas de pérdida de AV a largo plazo, presentándose al final del seguimiento en un 52,5% y un 60,5%, respectivamente.(AU)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the main causes of visual acuity (VA) loss in people over 50 years of age worldwide, with neovascular AMD (nAMD) accounting for 80% of cases of severe vision loss due to this disease. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs have been used for the treatment of this disease for more than a decade, changing drastically the visual prognosis of these patients. However, initial studies reporting data on outcomes were short term. Currently, there are different series published on the long-term results of AMD after treatment with anti-VEGF, and the aim of this review is to synthesize these results. The mean follow-up of the included studies was 8.2 years (range 5-12 years). The mean initial VA was 55.3 letters in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) (range 45.6-65) and the mean final VA was 50.1 letters (range 33.0-64.3), with a mean loss of 5.2 letters. At the end of follow-up, 29.4% of the patients maintained a VA>70 letters. The 67.9% of patients remained stable at the end of follow-up (<15 letter loss), with a severe loss (≥15 letters) of 30.1%. Fibrosis and atrophy were the main causes of long-term VA loss, occurring at the end of follow-up in 52.5% and 60.5%, respectively.(AU)

Epithelial ingrowth is one of the most significant complications of Laser in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) refractive surgery. We present the case of a 72-year-old male with a history of myopic LASIK (1999), who underwent cataract surgery and a second thin LASIK sub-Bowman flap to correct refractive error. Then, three months after pars plana vitrectomy for an epiretinal membrane, the patient complained of progressive vision loss. A diffuse haze of the corneal stroma that did not exist before surgery was observed. As the main suspicion was epithelial ingrowth, the flap was lifted and meticulous de-epithelialization of the stromal bed was performed. Mitomycin C 0.02% was applied, the flap was sutured with 10-0 Nylon, and a bandage contact lens was placed. The epithelialization of the interface after vitrectomy in a patient with LASIK could occur even when it is a rare complication and without obvious flap traumatism.

Propósito: Evaluar las dimensiones del músculo ciliar (MC) y del grosor escleral anterior (AST) in vivo en miopes altos mediante tomografía de coherencia óptica de fuente de barrido (SS-OCT) y comparar con sujetos emétropes e hipermétropes.MétodosEstudio transversal en el que se incluyeron 34 miopes altos (≥−6dioptrías [D]), 90 emétropes (−1 a +1D) y 38 hipermétropes (≥+3,5D). Se midieron el grosor del MC (CMT) y el AST en los cuadrantes temporal y nasal a 1, 2 y 3mm del espolón escleral utilizando la SS-OCT. Además, se evaluó la longitud del MC (CML).ResultadosLas dimensiones tanto del CML como del CMT en cualquiera de sus puntos de medida fueron mayores en miopes altos y en emétropes que en hipermétropes, tanto en el cuadrante nasal como en el temporal (p<0,001). Sin embargo, no existieron diferencias entre miopes magnos y emétropes para ninguno de los parámetros (p≥0,076), salvo para el CMT a 3mm en temporal (p<0,001). No existieron diferencias en el AST entre miopes altos, emétropes e hipermétropes, en ninguno de los puntos de medida ni cuadrantes estudiados (p>0,05).ConclusionesLa SS-OCT permite medir el MC in vivo, no observándose diferencias en sus dimensiones entre miopes altos y emétropes, pero sí que fueron menores en hipermétropes. En la medida de la esclera anterior no se observaron diferencias entre los tres grupos analizados según la refracción. (AU)
Purpose: To assess ciliary muscle (CM) and anterior scleral thickness (AST) dimensions in vivo in high myopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to compare with emmetropic and hyperopic subjects.MethodsCross-sectional study that included 34 high myopic patients (≥−6 diopters [D]), 90 emmetropes (−1 to +1D) and 38 hyperopic patients (≥+3.5D). CM thickness (CMT) and AST were measured in the temporal and nasal quadrants at 1, 2, and 3mm from the scleral spur using SS-OCT. In addition, the length of the CM (CML) was evaluated.ResultsThe dimensions of the CML and the CMT at any of their measurement points were greater in high myopes and emmetropes than in hyperopes, both in the nasal and temporal quadrants (P<.001). However, there were no differences between high myopes and emmetropes for any of the parameters (P≥.076) except for the CMT at 3mm in the temporal quadrant (P<.001). There were no differences in the AST between high myopes, emmetropes and hyperopes, in any of the measurement points or quadrants studied (P>.05).ConclusionsThe SS-OCT allows to measure the CM in vivo, not observing differences in its dimensions between high myopes and emmetropes, but they were smaller in hyperopes. In the measurement of the anterior sclera, no differences were observed between the three groups analyzed according to refraction. (AU)

Propósito Evaluar la capacidad diagnóstica de la densidad de vasos (DV) papilar y macular mediante angiografía por tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCTA) y el grosor de la capa de fibras nerviosas de la retina (CFNR) y complejo de células ganglionares (CCG) maculares mediante tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) en los pacientes con glaucoma seudoexfoliativo (GPX). Métodos Estudio transversal que incluyó GPX y controles sanos. Se realizó OCT y OCTA de la papila y el área macular con el OCT RS-3000 Advance (Nidek Co., Gamagori, Japón). Se registró la DV macular del plexo capilar superficial (SCP) y la DV papilar del plexo capilar peripapilar radial (RPCP). Se empleó el área bajo la curva característica operativa del receptor (AUROC) para determinar el poder discriminatorio de cada parámetro. Resultados El grosor de la CFNR y del CCG, así como la DV a nivel papilar y macular, fueron significativamente menores en los pacientes con GPX que en los controles sanos (todos, p<0,05). El mejor parámetro discriminante fue el grosor medio de la CFNR (AUROC: 0,928). El AUROC de la DV papilar fue mejor que el de la DV macular (AUROC: 0,897 y 0,780, respectivamente). AUROC de la DV papilar fue comparable a la del grosor de la CFNR (p<0,001).Conclusiones La capacidad diagnóstica de la DV papilar en el GPS parece comparable a la de los parámetros estructurales, espesor de la CFNR y CCG, obtenidos mediante OCT, por lo que la OCTA podría ser una herramienta valiosa en el GPX.

PurposeTo evaluate the diagnostic ability of the vessel density (VD) of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the macula on optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography and the retinal nerve layer thickness (RNFL) thickness and the macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness on OCT in patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG). Methods Cross-sectional study including PXG patients and healthy controls. Demographic and clinical data were noted for all participants. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) images of the ONH and macular area were obtained with the RS-3000 Advance OCT (Nidek Co., Gamagori, Japan). The RNFL and GCC thickness of different sectors was provided by the software. Macular VD of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and ONH VD of the radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPCP) were registered. Groups were compared and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves were used to determine the power of discrimination of each parameter. Results RNFL and GCC thickness and ONH and macular VD were significantly lower in PXG patients compared with healthy controls (all, P<.05). The best discrimination parameter was the average RNFL thickness (AUROC: 0.928). ONH VD AUROC was better than that of macular VD (AUROC: 0.897 and 0.780, respectively). ONH VD AUROC was comparable to RNFL thickness (P<.001).Conclusions The diagnostic ability of ONH vessel density in PXG appears comparable to that of the structural parameters, RNFL and GCC thickness, obtained with OCT, and may be a valuable tool in clinical practice.

El nanoftalmos es una condición congénita infrecuente del globo ocular que se caracteriza por un menor tamaño de los segmentos anterior y posterior en ausencia de una malformación ocular definida. Tradicionalmente se han descrito alteraciones anatómicas asociadas como una longitud axial corta, esclera engrosada, córnea con menor diámetro, cámara anterior estrecha y aumento de la relación entre el volumen del cristalino y el globo ocular. La causa se desconoce, aunque se han descrito múltiples mutaciones que podrían estar asociadas. En la actualidad, falta todavía una definición y una clasificación consensuada. Su relevancia clínica deriva de la asociación con múltiples afecciones oculares que pueden limitar la función visual como son hipermetropía elevada, ambliopía, glaucoma de ángulo cerrado, desprendimiento de retina y catarata. Asimismo, tanto la cirugía de catarata como la de glaucoma siguen constituyendo un desafío en estos ojos en los que el riesgo de numerosas complicaciones tanto intraoperatorias como postoperatorias es significativamente más elevado. El tratamiento del nanoftalmos tiene una doble orientación. Es preciso tratar las enfermedades asociadas y, además, reducir y controlar las complicaciones quirúrgicas. Esta revisión pretende realizar una actualización de lo publicado en los últimos años en relación con esta enfermedad. (AU)
Nanophthalmos is a rare congenital condition of the eyeball that is characterized by a smaller size of the anterior and posterior segments without associated ocular malformations. Typical features that have traditionally been described in these eyes are short axial length, thickened sclera, cornea with a smaller diameter, narrow anterior chamber, and an increased lens to globe volume ratio. However, at present, there is still a lack of recognized diagnostic criteria for nanophthalmos and a classification of its severity. Its clinical relevance stems from the increased risk of multiple ocular conditions, such as high hyperopia, amblyopia, angle-closure glaucoma, retinal detachment, and cataracts. Likewise, in relation to surgery in these eyes, there are particularities in cataract and glaucoma surgery and with a greater risk of associated intra- and postoperative complications. In this way, the treatment of nanophthalmos focuses on controlling the associated eye conditions and reducing and controlling surgical complications. This review aims to update what has been published in recent years regarding nanophthalmos. (AU)

Objetivo Evaluar el impacto en la calidad de vida (CdV) entre diferentes enfermedades de la retina como el edema macular diabético (EMD), la oclusión venosa retiniana (OVR), la miopía patológica (MP), la degeneración macular asociada a la edad neovascular (DMAEn) y la coriorretinopatía serosa central (CSC). Métodos Se realizó un estudio transversal en 241 pacientes afectados de EMD (n=44), OVR (n=41), MP (n=34) y DMAEn (n=85) que recibieron inyecciones intravítreas por presencia de edema macular o neovascularización. Los pacientes con CSC incluidos (n=37) eran candidatos a tratamiento con láser. Los pacientes completaron el National Eye Visual Functioning Questioning-25 (NEIVFQ-25). Se registró la mejor agudeza visual corregida (MAVC). Resultados Existieron diferencias significativas entre subgrupos para todos los dominios, excepto para la visión general, en la que todas las puntuaciones entre enfermedades oscilaron entre 40,7 y 45,2 sobre 100 (p=0,436), a pesar de la diferencia en MAVC (CSC: 86,3±11,9; OVR: 78,5±15,5; EMD: 73,3±15,2; DMAEn: 72,9±12,6 y MP: 68,5±18,1 letras, respectivamente (p<0,001). La puntuación total más baja se observó en la MP (52,1±20,9), seguida de DMAEn (55,3±20,8), OVR (65,0±22,3), EMD (68,6±21,0) y CSC (70,9±16,2). El grupo con EMD tuvo la peor puntuación para la salud general (38,9±21,4). La salud mental y las dificultades de rol fueron más bajas en la MP (48,2±28,8 y 48,2±31,9, p<0,007). Conclusiones Este estudio revela las diferencias en la CdV entre EMD, OVR, DMAEn, MP y CSC, describiendo las diferentes repercusiones que pueden sufrir, observándose un mayor impacto en la MP y la DMAEn (AU)
Purpose To assess the impact on the quality of life (QoL) among different retinal diseases such as diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), pathologic myopia (PM), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 241 patients, affected by DME (n=44), RVO (n=41), PM (n=34) and nAMD (n=85) receiving intravitreal injections due to the presence of macular edema or choroidal neovascularization. The CSC patients included (n=37) were candidates for laser treatment. The patients included completed the National Eye Visual Functioning Questioning-25 (NEIVFQ-25). Best eye visual acuity (BEVA) was recorded using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale. Results There were significant differences between subgroups for all the domains, except for the general vision in which all scores among diseases ranged from 40.7 to 45.2 out of 100 (P=.436), despite the difference in BEVA (CSC: 86.3±11.9; RVO: 78.5±15.5, DME: 73.3±15.2, nAMD: 72.9±12.6 and PM: 68.5±18.1 letters, respectively; P<.001). The lowest VFQ-25 total score was observed in the PM patients (52.1±20.9), followed by nAMD (55.3±20.8), RVO (65.0±22.3), DME (68.6±21.0) and CSC (70.9±16.2). The DME group reported the worst score for general health (38.9±21.4). Mental health and role difficulties were lowest for PM (48.2±28.8 and 48.2±31.9, P<.007). Conclusions This study reveals the differences in the QoL among DME, RVO, nAMD, PM and CSC, describing the different repercussions that they can suffer, observing a higher impact in PM and nAMD (AU)

El glistening en las lentes intraoculares (LIO) es un fenómeno en el que se forman diminutas microvacuolas llenas de agua dentro del material de la LIO, lo que hace que la luz se disperse y cree un efecto centelleante o reluciente. La presencia del glistening es frecuente en muchos tipos de materiales y modelos de LIO, y se ha estudiado ampliamente en los últimos años para conocer su incidencia, factores de riesgo, evolución y posible relevancia clínica. Clásicamente se ha estudiado in vitro en laboratorio o mediante fotografía obtenida con lámpara de hendidura. Sin embargo, son técnicas que requieren de un explorador experto, además de requerir mucho tiempo y un complejo procesado de las imágenes. En los últimos años, han surgido propuestas basadas en la cámara de Scheimpflug y en la tomografía de coherencia óptica como forma de simplificar el análisis del glistening en las LIO. Se ha descrito que tanto el proceso de fabricación, como el propio material acrílico hidrofóbico, y el tiempo desde la cirugía son factores de riesgo relacionados con la aparición de glistening. Además, aún se desconocen numerosas cuestiones relacionadas con este fenómeno, como la cantidad de puntos o el tamaño de los mismos necesarios para causar afectación de la función visual, ya que se han descrito diferentes fenómenos ópticos relacionados con el glistening de las LIO (AU)
The glistening in intraocular lenses (IOLs) is a phenomenon in which tiny water-filled microvacuoles form within the IOL material, causing light to scatter and create a sparkling or shimmering effect. The presence of glistening is common in many types of IOL materials and models and has been extensively studied in recent years to determine its incidence, risk factors, evolution, and possible clinical relevance. Classically, it has been studied in vitro in the laboratory or by means of photography obtained with a slit lamp, but these were techniques that required either specific technology or an expert explorer, complex image processing, and required a lot of time. In recent years, proposals based on the Scheimpflug camera and optical coherence tomography have emerged to try to simplify the analysis of glistening in IOLs. It has been described that the manufacturing process, the hydrophobic acrylic material, or the time since surgery are risk factors for the appearance of glistening. In addition, many issues related to this phenomenon are still unknown, such as not knowing from what number of points or their size they may have relevance to visual function since different optical phenomena related to glistening have been described on the IOLs (AU)

Objetivo Estudiar las modificaciones biométricas del globo ocular durante la succión en la cirugía de queratomileusis in situ asistida por láser (LASIK). Métodos Estudio observacional transversal. Se estudiaron 43 pacientes intervenidos de miopía y astigmatismo miópico. La edad media fue de 38,3 ± 11,5 años, 19 eran mujeres (44,2%). Se realizó una cirugía LASIK convencional con microqueratomo manual. Antes y durante la maniobra de succión se midieron los siguientes parámetros mediante una sonda biométrica de 11 Mhz: profundidad acuosa (AQD), espesor del cristalino (EC), longitud de la cavidad vítrea (LCV) y longitud axial (LA). Se utilizó la prueba t pareada para comparar las medidas biométricas antes y durante la succión. Resultados El equivalente esférico medio fue de -4,5 ± 2,3 dioptrías. Durante la succión, la AQD no aumentó significativamente (p = 0,231). Sin embargo, la LA y LCV aumentaron en 0,12 mm y 0,2 mm, respectivamente (p = 0,039 y < 0,01) y EC disminuyó en 0,20 mm (p < 0,01). La LA aumentó en 42% de los ojos y disminuyó en 16%, mientras que la LCV aumentó en 70% de los ojos y disminuyó en 9%, y el EC se redujo en 67% de los ojos. Conclusiones Las maniobras de succión durante la cirugía LASIK producen cambios de poca magnitud en el globo ocular, principalmente disminución de EC y aumento de LCV y LA. Por lo tanto, es esperable que estas modificaciones produzcan alteraciones anatómicas mínimas (AU)
Purpose To study the biometric modifications of the eyeball during suction in laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods Observational and cross-sectional study. We studied 43 patients who underwent surgery for myopia and myopic astigmatism. Mean age was 38.3±11.5 years, and 19 were female (44.2%). Conventional LASIK surgery with a manual microkeratome was performed. Before and during the suction maneuvre the following parameters were measured using an 11 MHz biometric probe: aqueous depth (AQD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous cavity length (VCL) and axial length (AXL). Paired t-test was used to compare the biometric measurements before and during suction. Results The mean spherical equivalent refractive error was −4.5±2.3 diopters. During suction, the AQD did not change significantly (p = 0.231). However, AXL and VCL increased by 0.12 mm and 0.22 mm respectively (p = 0.039 and <0.01) and LT decreased by 0.20 mm (p<0.01). AXL increased in 42% of the eyes and decreased in 16%, VCL increased in 70% of the eyes and decreased in 9%, and the LT was reduced in 67% of the eyes. Conclusions Suction maneuvres during LASIK surgery produce changes of little magnitude in the eye globe, mainly a decrease in LT and an increase in VCL and AXL. Therefore, these modifications are expected to produce minimal anatomic alterations (AU)
