The Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy: Effect of Sex, Age, Duration of Disease, and Mode of Therapy

Diabetes Care (1983)

P Segal Giora Treister M. Yalon Ruth Sandak Meir Berezin

Studying 445 diabetic patients, we investigated the effects of sex, age, duration of disease, and mode of diabetes therapy on the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. Of the study participants, 193 were treated with insulin injections, 164 took oral antidiabetic medications, and 88 were managed on diet alone. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy washighest among insulin-treated patients (64%), while in the oral medication and diet groups, it was 36% and 12%, respectively. Diabetic retinopathy was more prevalent among patients with prolonged duration of disease. Sex and age did not seem to affect the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy when adjustments were made for the duration of disease.

Pars plana vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage and retinal vein occlusion.

PubMed (1983)

A Yeshaya Giora Treister

We studied 16 cases of retinal vein occlusion and vitreous hemorrhage treated by pars plana vitrectomy. The visual acuity in all nine eyes suffering from branch vein occlusion was improved postoperatively, reaching an acuity of 6/6 to 6/12 in 33% of the patients. In the seven eyes suffering from central vein occlusion, however, the postoperative visual acuity results were poor. The incidence of postoperative complications was higher also in the central vein occlusion group.

[Treatment of retinal detachment with intraocular expandable gas injection].

PubMed (1992)

Michael Cahane Ruth Huna Elisha Bartov Y Moisseiev Giora Treister

The injection of expandable gas into the vitreous is a new method for treating retinal detachment. The injected gas bubble seals the retinal break and allows absorption of subretinal fluid. In 12 patients, in all eyes treated by injection of sulfur hexafluoride, the detached retina became reattached. In 3 eyes (25%) detachment recurred. To achieve attachment again, both vitrectomy and the circling band operation were performed in 2 of them, and only the latter operation in the third. Risk factors for redetachment included detachment of the macula, retinal detachment larger than 5-o'clock-hours, and pseudophakia. Proper selection of patients for gas injection is most important.

Anterior uveitis as a first sign of primary orbital lymphosarcoma.

PubMed (1983)

Abraham Spierer Giora Treister M. Blumenthal

A 47-year-old woman had a painless anterior uveitis in her right eye. Later, it appeared to be secondary to a developing extraocular orbital tumor, which also caused marked proptosis. Histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed lymphocytic lymphosarcoma. The tumor regressed rapidly after irradiation and cytological treatment.

Discoid corneal oedema and high intraocular pressure following PRK

British Journal of Ophthalmology (1997)

Giora Treister Orly Harel I Kremer

Editor,—We present an unusual corneal oedema which was observed following scleral indentation during a buckling procedure in a patient who had undergone successful photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and in a second patient who presented with steroid induced high intraocular pressure following PRK. ### CASE REPORTS #### Patient 1 A 33-year-old man underwent bilateral PRK by the Visx 20/20 excimer laser, with a 6 mm ablation zone. The refraction before the procedure was −6.00/−2.00 × 177° in the right eye and −5.00/−1.75 × 180° in the left. The corrected visual acuity was 20/20. Five months after PRK the patient’s uncorrected vision was 6/9 in both eyes. With correction of plano/−0.75 × 175° in the right eye and −0.50 in the left, his vision was 20/20 in each eye. The steroid drops were stopped a month previously. Six months after PRK, he noticed a shadow on the nasal field of his right eye and deterioration of vision. On admission the visual acuity in the right eye was 6/60 and the IOP 15 mm Hg. The cornea showed no pathology and there was no noticeable haze. The anterior chamber was deep and clear. Funduscopy revealed detachment …

Epidemiology of Retinal Detachment in Childhood and Adolescence

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus (1987)

Mordechai Rosner Giora Treister Michael Belkin

The prevalence of retinal detachment during childhood and adolescence was studied in 45,000 recruits aged 17 to 19 years. History of retinal detachment was found in 13 cases (0.028%); 61.5% of these had traumatic retinal detachment, and 23.1% had high myopia without history of trauma. The age-related annual incidence of retinal detachment in patients aged ten to 19 years was calculated to be 2.9 per 100,000. The prevalence among the males was 3.7 per 10,000 and among the females 1.6 per 10,000. The difference between the sexes was not statistically significant.
