Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Macular Degeneration
Abstract: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy is a hereditary, bilaterally progressive formation of a vitreoretinal membrane. It usually occurs in full-term newborns without previous treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. In this report, we present six cases of this...

Abstract: Macular edema (ME) is a primary reason for permanent decreases of visual acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The standard treatment (photocoagulation, rheological treatment) provide only a limited success. We have therefore...

Abstract: It has been reported that hyperbaric oxygen treatment improves visual function in patients with chronic macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion. This study was designed to investigate relationship between visual prognosis and characteristics of...

Abstract: We retrospectively evaluated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on seventy-nine eyes of seventy cases with cystoid macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. Twenty-three eyes had central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), and fifty-six eyes had...
Abstract: A prospective study was made to estimate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on 14 eyes of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion. The visual acuity was improved 2-6 lines (average 3.6 lines) after the treatment, while the control...
