Use of Autologous Plasma Eyedrops Therapy for Severe Dry Eye in Singapore

A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be applied to evaluate dry eye symptoms as described by Schaumberg et al. (Schaumberg 2007). As shown in Appendix B , the scores will be recorded separately for frequency and severity of dry eye symptoms. The patient will be asked to check a point on a 100-mm line that corresponds to the degree of the symptom. The location of the mark made by the patient for each question will be measured in mm from the left hand side of the 100 mm line and recorded in mm. For the follow up visits, which measured the distance between the mark made by the patient and the central anchor, a negative value will be recorded if left of the anchor and a positive value if right of the anchor. The higher the number, implying more symptoms and frequency of experiencing dry eye.
A global score will be calculated by multiplying the frequency score by the severity score and taking the square root of the result (to transform back to the original scale).

Acute Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Edema Treatment Trial: Intravitreal Ranibizumab Versus Triamcinolone Acetonide

To assess the safety of intravitreal R and T for the treatment of acute pseudophakic cystoid macular edema by evaluating:
Incidence and severity of ocular adverse events, as identified by eye examination
Incidence and severity of other adverse events, as identified by physical examination, subject reporting, and changes in vital signs

Mean change in spectral domain OCT CMT from baseline (microns)

Mean change in ETDRS letters from baseline (letters)

Proportion of patients with 3 line or better ETDRS letter improvement (%)

Time to 3 line ETDRS letter improvement (days)
