Abstract: In this study, Retina-RPE-Choroid-Sclera (RCS) and RPE-Choroid-Sclera (CS) were prepared by scraping them off neural retina, and using the Ussing chamber we measured the average time– concentration values in the acceptor chamber across ﬁve isolated rabbit tissues for each drug molecule. We determined the outward direction permeability of the RCS and CS and calculated the neural retina permeability. The permeability coefﬁcients of RCS and CS were as follows: ganciclovir, 13.78 ± 5.82 and 23.22 ± 9.74; brimonidine, 15.34 ± 7.64 and 31.56 ± 12.46; bevacizumab, 0.0136 ± 0.0059 and 0.0612 ± 0.0264 (×10−6 cm/s).

CASE NOTES HERNIA OF THE CHOROID TREATED BY SCLERAL GRAFTING FOLLOWED BY DIRECT SUTURING OF THE SCLERA* BY P. SIVASUBRAMANIAM AND T. HOOLE Eye Clinic, Civil Hospital, Jaffna, Ceylon Case Report A young man aged 18 had had a bluish-black lump on the " white " of the left eye for 8 years. He did not recall any injury to this eye and had had no inflammation. Examination.-A bluish-black sessile swelling was seen on the superonasal side of the left eyeball about 4 mm. from the limbus (Figure). The lump measured 6 x 4 mm., the long axis being more or less tangential to the limbus. The swelling was cystic, tense, slightly reducible, nonpulsatile, and non-transluminant. It was not movable over the globe, the conjunctiva over it was stretched and tenuous. Biomicroscopy revealed a deposit of fine iris pigment on the lens capsule at the lower part. There was no sign of active uveitis. Visual acuity was 6/6 in each eye. Digital tonometry indicated that the tension was equal in both eyes. The fundi were normal. The region of the ectasia was not accessible ophthalmoscopically. Wassermann reaction negative. Operations.-Scleral grafting and direct suturing of the scleral hiatus were performed copyright. at different times. The reports of Lister (1951) on scleral grafting prompted us to try this operation. (1) January 21, 1953.-Under retro-ocular novocaine and local anaesthesia the conjunc- tiva over the lump was neatly dissected and an upper flap was raised.

Destruction of Localized Lesion of Choroid Reference Number: CP.VP.20 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log
Clinical Policy: Destruction of Localized Lesion of Choroid Reference Number: CP.VP.20 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description: This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for destruction of localized lesion(s) of the choroid. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that the destruction of a localized lesion of the choroid is medically necessary for the following indications: A. Treatment of subretinal neovascular membranes as encountered in “wet” age-related macular degeneration, angioid streaks or other retinal disease processes involving violations of Bruch’s membrane allowing in-growth of abnormal neovascular tissue into the subretinal space. B. Subretinal neovascular membrane recurrences, which are immediately adjacent or contiguous with the first treated lesion, are well-known consequences of treating subretinal neovascular membranes. Background Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) describes the growth of new blood vessels that originate from the choroid through a break in the Bruch membrane into the sub–retinal pigment epithelium (sub-RPE) or subretinal space. Choroidal neovascularization is a major cause of visual loss. Destruction of the localized lesion of the choroid can be accomplished by using a laser or xenon arc. The choroid is a thin, vascular membrane lining the posterior eye between the retina and the sclera. Photocoagulation is performed without entering the posterior chamber. Intentionally destructive light is focused through a contact lens onto the choroidal lesion, which is destroyed in one session or in a series of sessions.

Control of Retinal and Choroidal Blood Flow
Eye (1990) 4, 319-325 Control of Retinal and Choroidal Blood Flow A. BILL and G. O. SPERBER Uppsala, Sweden Summary Earlier studies on the control of retinal and choroidal blood flow are reviewed and some recent observations on the effectsof light on retinal metabolism and retinal and choroidal blood flow in monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) are reported in preliminary form. The retina is nourished by the retinal blood vessels, where blood flow is auto regulated and the choroidal blood vessels where autoregulation is absent. Studies with the deoxygiucose method of Sokoloff indicate that flickering light tends to increase the metabolism of the inner retina, while constant light reduces the metab olism in the outer retina. Retinal blood flow in flickering light, 8 Hz, is higher than in constant light. The sympathetic nerves of the choroid are probably involved in a pro tective mechanism, preventing overperfusion in fight and flight situations with acute increments in blood pressure. The facial nerve contains parasympathetic vasodilator fibres to the choroid; the physiological significance of these fibres is unknown. The neuropeptides 'NPY, VIP and PHI are likely to be involved in autonomic reflexes in the eye. Choroidal and retinal blood flow choroidal and retinal circulation mainly via In most tissues, the control of the circulation autonomic nerves and report on some recent is complex because of the many factors influ observations on effects of light on retinal encing the vascular resistance: local myogenic metabolism and blood flow. responses, endothelium derived substances The blood flow, Q, in the intraocular tissues and local metabolic factors as well as circu as in other tissues depends on the local arterial lating substances and the autonomic nerves.
