Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Macular Degeneration
Abstract: To report on a case of autoconjunctival graft compromise after pterygium surgery in a patient on long-term anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, due to the deleterious effects of anti-VEGF agents on ocular wound healing. A white female...

Abstract: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide and affects patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Its natural course may lead to impaired central vision and macular fibrosis. Even VEGF blockade,...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen pressure and the concentration of reactive oxygen species in blood and tissues. Increased oxygen pressure may be beneficial in some diseases, such as in the treatment of diabetic leg ulcers and diabetic retinopathy;...

Abstract: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a significant cause of visual loss in the United States and Western Europe. As the population ages, the prevalence rate of advanced AMD is expected to double by 2030. A one-hour session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy...
Abstract: Macular edema was first described more than a century ago, and its medical treatment has made great progress thanks to recent pharmacological advances. Administration is topical, local (peri- or intraocular), or systemic. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory...
