The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains retinal function as the metabolic gatekeeper
between photoreceptors (PRs) and the choriocapillaries. The RPE and Bruch's membrane …

Compared with an OCT microscope, used in ophthalmology and in most experimental
settings, the application of OCT within the human vascular system, particularly within …

Background: Delineation qf the morphologic aspects of age-related macular degeneration
(ARMD) is helpful in correlation with the clinical features and may contribute to …

Surgical excision of subfoveal neovascular membranes may result in recovery of excellent
visual acuity in patients with presumed ocular histoplasmosis but not in patients with age …

Three cases of age-related maculopathy with severe and recent massive submacular
hemorrhage were treated by performing complete vitrectomy. A total retinal detachment was …

Purpose: To evaluate the potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using benzoporphyrin
derivative (BPD) for occlusion of subretinal neovascular membranes, the authors studied …

choroidal neovascularization. Correlations between preoperative characteristics and final …

We characterized changes in the visual behavior of mice in which a loss of the retinal
pigment epithelium (RPE) was experimentally induced with intravenous (iv) administration of …

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that neovascular age-related macular degeneration is
related to oxidative stress involving the macular retinal pigment epithelium. This study …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the autologous translocation of peripheral choroid and retinal
pigment epithelium (RPE) in 45 eyes of 43 patients with age-related macular degeneration …
