Retinal Vein Occlusion

Background: \- To understand diseases of the retina and the eye, information is needed about people with and without such diseases. Researchers want to study these people and follow them over time. They also want to study body tissues and blood to understand the nature of eye disease. Studying genes, cells, and tissues may help them understand why some people get eye problems and others do not, or why some people respond to treatment while others do not. Researchers want to collect physical samples and personal data to develop a National Eye Institute database. Objectives: \- To collect health information and blood and tissue samples from people with and without eye diseases, to be used in research studies. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 2 years of age with different types of eye disease. * Healthy volunteers with no history of eye disease. Design: * Participants may be recruited from National Eye Institute studies or may be referred from other sources. * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have a full eye exam. Questions will be asked about family medical history, especially about eye disease. * Blood samples will be collected. Other samples, such as saliva, tears, hair, stool, and urine, may be collected as needed. Adult participants may also provide a skin sample. * Tissue or fluid from eye collected as part of eye care or treatment may also be added to the database. * No treatment will be provided as part of this study.

This study will perform a prospective, longitudinal analysis of clinical and imaging findings from normal controls and subjects with retinal vascular disease to better define the diagnostic imaging criteria that signify change in disease stage. This includes disease progression in early stages of disease or disease regression with appropriate standard-of-care treatment.

CD160 represents a new angiogenic factor as its specific engagement by an agonist monoclonal antibody directed against human CD160 reduced angiogenesis of endothelial cells with a distinct mechanism from current angiogenic therapies that target the VEGF/VEGF-R pathway. A soluble form of CD160, sCD160, has been found to be highly expressed in the vitreous and the sera of patients with severe diabetic retinopathies, and can now be dosed with help of an ELISA test. The investigators aim to evaluate the association between ischaemic retinopathies (patients with or without) and sCD160 concentrations in the vitreous, the aqueous humour and the serum.

This randomized controlled trial compares two techniques for eyelid retraction during intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-VEGF agents: the standard wire eyelid speculum (Group A) versus cotton-tipped applicator retraction (Group B) in patients with neovascular AMD, diabetic macular edema, or retinal vein occlusion. The study evaluates four outcomes: (1) patient pain perception measured by a 10-cm visual analogue scale immediately after injection; (2) procedure duration from retraction device placement to removal; (3) patient satisfaction assessed by a 5-item Likert scale; and (4) safety including rates of subconjunctival hemorrhage, corneal abrasion, endophthalmitis, and intraocular pressure elevation. A novel syringe cap technique using the Terumo 31G insulin syringe plastic cap as an injection-site marker (3.5 mm for pseudophakic eyes, 5.0 mm for phakic eyes from the limbus) is employed in both groups, replacing the traditional caliper. Randomization is stratified by diagnosis and prior injection history using permuted block randomization (block sizes 4 and 6). The target sample size is 120 patients (60 per group) at Walailak University Hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and image quality of the investigational dye, MB-102, compared to the control dye (fluorescein sodium) in healthy and diseased eyes using fluorescent angiography for retinal vascular disease diagnosis and monitoring.

The main retinal diseases, whether or not associated with specific mutations genetic, cause progressive degeneration of vascular retinal structures and not vascular, resulting in decreased visual function. Often, such diseases affect the noblest part of the retina, called macula. Many retinal diseases can be complicated by choroidal neovascularization which causes frequent bleeding and fluid leakage that accumulates in the subretinal and intraretinal spaces. Although the investigators know many details of each disease affecting the retina, very often the correct diagnostic framework can be complicated, given the presence of morphological elements common to the different pathologies. Similarly, predicting the effect of treatment and the patient's outcome is a constant challenge for the ophthalmologists. Most of the current research has been focused on the assessment of vascular alterations localized in the macula. However, growing evidence highlight the importance of peripheral vascular changes on the outcome of retinal diseases. These changes can be detected only be wide field OCT devices. On the other hand, ocular inflammation and hyperemia represent major assessments in anterior segment disorders, such as dry eye disease. The current grading systems of ocular inflammation, redness and hyperemia are characterized by several limitations, thus making these evaluations still mainly confined to the subjective assessment performed by the ophthalmologist. However, the new generation OCT devices may include also an anterior segment module which can reconstruct anterior segment vessels, non-invasively, using the same technology described for retinal diseases. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic contribution of a new generation wide field OCTA device in ocular diseases, which has recently received CE marking. In particular, the investigators will evaluate this new generation device both in retinal and anterior segments diseases, testing for common points and differences with the standard of care non-invasive diagnostic devices. Secondary outcomes include the assessment of the correlation between the patient's visual function (visual acuity) and morphological changes (standard of care imaging assessment) highlighted by the wide field OCT device, with particular attention to microstructural differences between major ocular diseases and the possible development of non-invasive biomarkers, useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of such pathologies.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of the investigational medicinal product ANXV. It will also learn about how ANXV works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is ANXV safe to use? * Does ANXV improve vision or findings related to vision decrease caused by non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion? * Does ANXV lower the number of times participants need to use a rescue medication? Researchers will compare different dose levels of ANXV to see what dose would be be appropriate to test in larger studies. Participants will: Take ANXV as a 30 minutes infusion (slow injection) for 5 days. Visit the clinic for checkups and tests at 11 visits during 4 months.

Study Objective The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether viewing a procedural video can improve the patient experience and reduce the incidence and severity of subconjunctival hemorrhage in individuals undergoing intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Key Research Questions 1. Can viewing the procedural video prior to treatment reduce the rate and/or area of subconjunctival hemorrhage? 2. Can the video improve the patient experience, specifically by reducing anxiety levels and increasing satisfaction with the treatment process? Study Design Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, who will watch an educational video explaining the injection procedure, or a control group, who will not view the video. All participants will complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) questionnaire both before and after treatment to assess changes in anxiety levels.
