STEROID IMPLANTS TO TREAT MELANOMA ASSOCIATED RETINOPATHY
Source: Optometry Today, May 2019
Scientists from the University of Surrey and Royal Surrey County Hospital have reported on a new approach to treating melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) in JAMA Ophthalmology.
With the support of Moorfields Eye Hospital’s electrophysiology department, the researchers investigated whether long acting steroid implants could improve vision in a 73-year-old patient with MAR.
Improvements in the vision of the patient were observed one week after treatment commenced.
