Early Postoperative Intraocular Pressure as a Prognostic Factor in Glaucoma Sur...
Viana, Ana Rita; Basto, Rita; Correia Barbosa, Renato; Silva, Alexandre; Bastos, Ricardo; Vale, Carolina; Gonçalves, Rita; Tenedório, PaulaINTRODUCTION: The relationship between early and late postoperative intraocular pres- sure (IOP) after glaucoma surgery remains unclarified. Few published studies have investigated the long-term effects of early IOP after trabeculectomy and nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy, and the existing ones have differing results. This study aims to evaluate the effects of early postoperative IOP after these two procedures ...
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemics in Patients Submitted to Glaucoma Surgery: A 3-yea...
Reis Silva, Alexandre; Gonçalves, Rita; Basto, Rita; Correia Barbosa, Renato; Viana, Ana Rita; Tenedório, PaulaINTRODUCTION: COVID-19 pandemics forced the reorganization of healthcare systems in order to provide care for ill patients infected with the novel coronavirus. Ophthalmology departments had to reduce elective procedures with mobilization of resources for non-ophthalmological purposes. This study aims to describe the glaucoma surgical volume during the pandemic year and to compare with the pre-pandemic and post-...
Exposing the Great Masquerader: Five Consecutive Cases of Ocular Syphilis with ...
Barbosa, Renato Correia; Ramos Oliveira, Susana; Gonçalves, Maria João; Mota, Ágata; Basto, Rita; Viana, Ana Rita; Silva, Alexandre; Gonçalves, RitaINTRODUCTION: Ocular syphilis has a highly heterogeneous clinical presentation, which can overlap with many other etiologies. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Ophthalmological manifestations may appear in virtually all anatomical regions of the eye, in both the anterior and posterior segments. Uveitis is the most common ophthalmologic presentation of syphilis, and the timing of onset is variabl...
Retropupillary Iris-Claw Intraocular Lens Implantation: A Refractive and Safety...
Correia Barbosa, Renato; Carvalho, Rui; Mota, Ágata; Basto, Rita; Viana, Ana Rita; Silva, Alexandre; Tenedório, PaulaINTRODUCTION: Iris-claw intraocular lenses are one of the surgical alternatives to treat patients without capsular and zonular support after complicated cataract surgery, trauma, or diseases that disrupt the normal anatomy of the eye’s posterior chamber. Retropupillary fixation, through the enclavation of the lens to the posterior iris, constitutes a modification of the original technique, and is associated wit...
Use of Amniotic Membrane in MMC-Augmented Trabeculectomy: A Retrospective Compa...
Roque, Joana; Vaz, Fernando Trancoso; Basto, Rita; Henriques, Susana; Lopes, Ana Sofia; Silva, Diana; Santos, Jorge; Pires, Graça; Lisboa, MariaPurpose: Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has shown promising results as an antifibrotic agent in trabeculectomy. We aimed to evaluate the additional effect of AMT in MMC-augmented trabeculectomy. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the results of the first 12 postoperative months of glaucomatous eyes submitted to Moorfields Safer Surgery Trabeculectomy with MMC alone (non-AMT group) ...
Autofluorescência do fundo ocular: dos princípios básicos às aplicações clínicas
Roque, Joana; Almeida, Júlio; Basto, Rita; Henriques, Susana; Pires, Graça; Silva, Filomena; Prieto, IsabelA autofluorescência do fundo ocular (FAF) é um exame de imagem valioso em várias doenças da retina, que poderá ser subutilizado na prática clínica diária. O objectivo deste artigo é rever os princípios básicos da autofluorescência azul e realçar sua utilidade clínica. A FAF é um exame de imagem não invasivo e rápido do fundo ocular. As imagens de FAF reflectem a distribuição da lipofuscina no epitélio pigmentar...
Optical coherence tomography angiography features of choroidal nevi
Henriques, Susana Pinto; Basto, Rita; Roque, Joana; Coutinho, Inês; Colaço, Luísa; Pinto, Filomena; Costa e Silva, Filomena; Prieto, IsabelPurpose: To describe the imaging features of choroidal nevi using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) and optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging (EDI-OCT). Material and Methods: Retrospective observational case series of patients with choroidal nevi. The tumor and overlying retina structural features were analyzed with EDI-OCT. The OCT-A images were evaluated for vascular changes ...
