New Optical Approaches to Improve Myopia Control in Children
Martins, AméliaMyopia is a growing global health concern, with an increasing prevalence - in 2000 1.4 billion people were mypic and it is estimated that this number will reach 4.8 billion by 2050.1 It appears that both genetic predisposition and environmental factors exhibit an association with myopia, particularly the increased exposure to screens and near activities from an early age, the digital projection under brighter c...
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Staging by Color Fundus Photography vs. Multim...
Farinha, Cláudia; Cachulo, Maria da Luz; Coimbra, Rita; Alves, Dalila; Nunes, Sandrina; Pires, Isabel; Marques, João Pedro; Costa, José; Martins, AméliaEpidemiology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is based on staging systems relying on color fundus photography (CFP). We aim to compare AMD staging using CFP to multimodal imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT), infra-red (IR), and fundus autofluorescence (FAF), in a large cohort from the Epidemiologic AMD Coimbra Eye Study. All imaging exams from the participants of this population-based study...

Henriques, Liliana; Melo, Rosa; Martins, AméliaIntroduction: Health professionals when they take care of spaces of intimacy, especially in hygiene care, present difficulties in promoting the dignity of the person cared for, so they must operationalize the relationship by appropriating innovative strategies appropriate to the needs of people such as the Methodology of Care Humanitude. Objectives: To identify the contribution of the Methodology of Care H...
Peripapillary and macular morpho-vascular changes in patients with genetic or c...
Martins, Amélia; Rodrigues, Tiago; Soares, Mário; Dolan, Michael-John; Murta, Joaquim N.; Silva, Rufino; Marques, João P.Purpose: To evaluate the macular and peripapillary morpho-vascular changes in ADOA, using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). Methods: Prospectively defined, cross-sectional case-control study. Consecutive patients with a genetic or clinical diagnosis of ADOA along with age- and sex-matched controls were included. The radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density and vessel density (VD...
Macular OCT-angiography parameters to predict the clinical stage of nonprolifer...
Rodrigues, Tiago M.; Marques, João P.; Soares, Mário; Simão, Sílvia; Melo, Pedro; Martins, Amélia; Figueira, João; Murta, Joaquim N.; Silva, RufinoBackground: To test whether a single or a composite set of macular vascular density parameters, evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), are able to predict nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) staging according to the gold-standard ETDRS-grading scheme. Methods: Prospectively defined, cross-sectional study in which macular structural and vascular parameters of diabetic eyes with ...

Farinha, Cláudia; Martins, Amélia; Neves, Arminda; Soares, Raquel; Ruão, Miguel; Ornelas, Mário; Neves, Pedro; Rodrigues, Filipa GomesPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 2-year outcome of ranibizumab for diabetic macular oedema (DME) in the real-life clinical practice of five ophthalmology departments of the National Health Service (NHS) in Portugal. Methods: This is a retrospective multicentre study. The clinical records on consecutive patients with DME from clinical practice treated with 0.5 mg intravitreal ranibizumab an...
Snoezelen intervention in institutionalized elderly people: Well-being and inst...
Martins, Amélia; Rodríguez, María José Cid; Medeiros, Maria Teresa Pires deThe present study aimed to evaluate the impact of Snoezelen on the well-being of institutionalized elderly people (n = 20) in long-term residences, at various periods, during the session and outside the session, over 6 weeks. A reversal design was used to establish a causal connection between Snoezelen and its effects on the dependent variables. There has been a reduction in fluctuations in their well-being dur...
EFFICACY AND PROGRESSION OF MACULAR ATROPHY AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF TREATMENT WITH...
Martins, Amélia; Farinha, Cláudia; Santos, Ana Rita; Figueira, João; Pires, Isabel; Cachulo, Maria Luz; Silva, RufinoPURPOSE: To assess the seven-year efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) in the treatment of myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), and to estimate the progression of macular atrophy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study with cross-sectional evaluation. Medical records of high myopic patients with mCNV treated with IVR with minimum follow-up of 84months were analysed. A final cross-sectional evalu...
