  2. 1. Aspects on Function in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

    Author : Christina Winther; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; age-related macular degeneration; macula; macular oedema; rarebit; reading test; reading speed; self-test; smartphone application; vision test; visual acuity;

    Abstract : Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of severe visual loss among persons ≥ 60 years. AMD can be categorized in one of three stages: early, intermediate, or late. In early AMD visual symptoms are inconspicuous whereas, in the late stage, severe loss of vision is common. Late AMD has dry and wet forms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Anti-VEGF treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema : Studies of visual acuity, macular edema and patient-reported outcomes

    Author : Therese Granström; Janeth Leksell; Henrietta Forsman; Elisabet Granstam; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hälsa och välfärd; Health and Welfare;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to describe and evaluate visual acuity, macular edema and patientreported outcomes (PRO) following anti-VEGF treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) patients in a real-world setting. Using a longitudinal study design, a cohort of DME patients was followed from baseline to 1 year after treatment start. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis of the Gene and Protein Causing Best Macular Dystrophy

    Author : Benjamin Bakall; Catharina Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; VMD2; bestrophin; macular degenration; mutation analysis; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics; klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : Best macular dystrophy (BMD) is an autosomal dominant inherited eye disease with a juvenile onset. Accumulation of the pigment lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium can later cause macular degeneration and loss of vision. READ MORE

  6. 4. Patient-reported and medical outcomes in patients treated for diabetic macular edema : A real-world longitudinal study

    Author : Therese Granström; Janeth Leksell; Anna Forsberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; Patient-reported outcomes; Retinopathy; Macular edema; Anti-VEGF treatment; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Hälsa och välfärd;

    Abstract : Background Diabetes mellitus can lead to complications, when the complication affects the eyes it is called retinopathy. This can affect the macula and lead to severe loss of vision, diabetic macular edema (DME). This condition has traditionally been treated with laser. READ MORE

  7. 5. Age-related maculopathy and macular degeneration : New diagnostic and therapeutic procedures

    Author : Christina Frennesson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Age-related maculopathy (ARM) may progress into age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is often disastrous to near vision and reading. Currently used treatment is generally not successful in a long-term perspective. Therefore, searching for an early detection of functional disturbances as well as for prophylactic treatment appears important. READ MORE
