Avaliação Completa da Superfície Ocular num Coorte Pediátrico Português
Marques, João Heitor; Ferreira, André; Castro, Catarina; Marta, Ana; José, Diana; Sousa, Paulo; Neves, Isabel; Méneres, Pedro; Barbosa, IreneINTRODUÇÃO: Existem poucos estudos publicados sobre doença do olho seco (DOS) no grupo etário pediátrico e os que existem foram realizados fora da Europa, onde os fatores genéticos e ambientais poderão ser diferentes. Além disso, o estudo da superfície ocular e, consequentemente, o diagnóstico da DOS cada vez mais tendem para métodos objetivos e padronizados. O objetivo primário desde trabalho foi de...
Myopia, Axial Length and Lens Thickness: A Corneal Biomechanical Analysis of Ol...
Ferreira, André; Marques, João Heitor; Marta, Ana; Castro, Catarina; Baptista, Pedro Manuel; José, Diana; Sousa, Paulo; Neves, Isabel; Menéres, PedroIntroduction: Our objective was to compare the corneal biomechanics of myopes with non-myopes in a sample of Portuguese children. In addition, we sought to evaluate their habits and background as well as to assess the potential relationship of axial length and lens thickness with their corneal biomechanical properties. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study assessing healthy children (8 to 18 years old)...
Comparison of Light-Based Devices in the Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Castro, Catarina; Marques, Joao Heitor; Marta, Ana; Baptista, Pedro Manuel; José, Diana; Sousa, Paulo; Menéres, Pedro; Barbosa, IrenePurpose: To compare different light-based devices, namely, intense pulsed light (IPL) and IPL with low-level light therapy (LLLT), in the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: This was a prospective, observational study that included patients with MGD. Group 1 included 58 eyes treated with IPL (eye-light®, Espansione Marketing S.p.A., Bologna, Italy), followed by LLLT (my-mask®, Espansione Ma...
Microperimetry as Part of Multimodal Assessment to Evaluate and Monitor Myopic ...
Baptista, Pedro Manuel; Silva, Nisa; Coelho, João; José, Diana; Almeida, Daniel; Meireles, AngelinaPurpose: To characterize a population of high myopes with myopic traction maculopathy (MTM), to assess their retinal function, and to correlate it with anatomic status. Patients and methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study including 50 eyes from 27 patients. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed. Macular structure was assessed with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT, Heid...
Intense Pulsed Plus Low-Level Light Therapy in Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Marta, Ana; Baptista, Pedro Manuel; Marques, Joao Heitor; Almeida, Daniel; José, Diana; Sousa, Paulo; Barbosa, IrenePurpose: To analyse the clinical outcome in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) who underwent intense pulsed light (IPL) plus low-level light therapy (LLL). Materials and methods: The prospective non-comparative study included identified by MGD patients with altered interferometry and lower loss area of the meibomian glands (LAMG), who underwent IPL plus LLL, between July 2020 and August 2020. A mul...
Long-Term Visual Function Effects of Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation in Diabetic R...
Baptista, Pedro Manuel; Marta, Ana; Marques, Joao Heitor; José, Diana; Almeida, Daniel; Ribeiro, António; Barbosa, IrenePurpose: To address the long-term visual function after bilateral pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) and its impact in real life, namely on visual field (VF) legal criteria to drive. To determine potential predictors related to clinical factors and treatment strategies. Patients and methods: Observational cross-sectional study. Eyes from diabetic patients diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy who underwent bilate...
Keratoconus and Visual Performance with Different Contact Lenses
Marta, Ana; Marques, Joao Heitor; Almeida, Daniel; José, Diana; Barbosa, IrenePurpose: To analyze the visual performance in contact lens wearers with keratoconus. Methods: A retrospective study including contact lens (CL) wearers was performed. The current best-corrected visual acuity with contact lens (BCVA-CL) and with spectacles (BCVA-S) correction, contrast sensitivity (CS) (by Metrovision-MonPack3®), analysis of light scattering in the retina and vision break-up time (HD Analyzer®),...
Choroidal Blood Flow After Intravitreal Ranibizumab in Vitrectomized and Non-Vi...
Pessoa, Bernardete; Marques, Joao Heitor; Leite, João; Silva, Nisa; José, Diana; Coelho, Constança; Figueira, João P; Meireles, Angelina; Beirão, JoãoAim: Diabetic retinopathy staging system and progression predictors are soon to be considered insufficient for ophthalmologic practice. Given the growing evidence of the role of choroidal dysfunction, our purpose was to assess choroidal vascular changes with intravitreal ranibizumab (RBZ) treatment in diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study. The study included DME...
Visian® ICLV4c™ and Artiflex®: Comparative Analysis with the HD Analyser™ and I...
Baptista, Pedro Manuel; Monteiro, Sílvia; Abreu, Ana Carolina; Poças, João; José, Diana; Lume, Miguel; Pinto, Maria do CéuPurpose: To analyze and compare the mid-term objective and subjective performance of two phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) - Visian® ICL™ V4c and Artiflex® and to correlate those results with anatomical parameters. Patients and methods: Observational retrospective study including thirty patients (15 for each PIOL) randomly selected from those who underwent bilateral implantation of one of the PIOLs (60 eyes wer...
