Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept monotherapy in submacular hemorrhage (SMH) sec-ondary to wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Methods: This study included 25 eyes in 25 patients with SMH involving the fovea secondary to wet-AMD. All patients were treated with three consecutive monthly intravitreal aflibercept (2.0 mg/0.05 mL) injections, fol-lowed by as-needed reinjection. They were followed for at least 6 months. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central foveal thickness (CFT), and area of SMH were measured at diagnosis, as well as at 3 and 6 months after treatment initiation.Results: The BCVA significantly improved from 0.79 ± 0.41 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) at baseline to 0.54 ± 0.41 logMAR at 6 months (p < 0.001). BCVA ≥3 lines and stable vision were observed in 96% of the eyes. The CFT significantly decreased from 560.8 ± 215.3 µm at baseline to 299.8 ± 160.2 µm at 6 months (p < 0.001). The area of SMH significantly decreased from 10.5 ± 7.1 mm2 at baseline to 1.8 ± 6.5 mm2 at 6 months (p < 0.001). The BCVA, CFT, and area of SMH at baseline, as well as duration of symptoms, all correlated with BCVA at the 6-month follow-up.Conclusions: Intravitreal injection of aflibercept is an effective treatment option for patients with SMH second-ary to wet-AMD; however, there may be limited efficacy in eyes with large SMH area and cases in which treat-ment is delayed.Key Words: Aflibercept, Choroidal hemorrhage, Macular degeneration, Retinal hemorrhage 

Simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing for limbal dermoids: results of a 3-year study.D. Cha, Kyung-Hoon Shin, +1 author J. KwonPublished 18 August 2013MedicineInternational journal of ophthalmologyAIM To evaluate and report the efficacy of combined surgical excision and corneal tattooing in patients with limbal dermoids. METHODS In a retrospective interventional case series, 9 eyes of 8 patients were treated with combined surgery of simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing for limbal dermoids. Medical records, including best-corrected visual acuity, anterior segment photography, demographic, clinical data, and follow-up information were reviewed. RESULTS The mean follow up period in this study was 50±15(range 36-77) months. There was no evidence of infection or recurrent limbal dermoids in any of the eyes during the follow-up period. All patients achieved good cosmetic outcomes with no complications.   CONCLUSION Simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing of limbal dermoids could be an alternative option for surgery, especially when a donor cornea is not available.
