| Abstract |
A significant therapeutic effect in the fellow eye after intravitreal ranibizumab injections was observed in a 39-year-old diabetic male. The patient was followed-up with fluorescein angiography (FA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). On referral, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/60 in the right eye and Counting Fingers in the left eye. FA revealed foveal leakage in both eyes. OCT revealed diabetic and cystoid macular edema (DME-CME) in both eyes. The patient was treated with two intravitreal ranibizumab injections in the left eye. BCVA was 6/15 and 6/30 one month after the last injection. OCT revealed significant improvement (DME elimination and significant CME improvement) in both eyes, despite the fact that only the left eye was treated. It is conceivable that, in this eye, chronic vascular damage was limited and a minimal quantity of ranibizumab had a positive effect on vascular permeability, resulting in DME resolution. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 November 2014.
All research outputs
#20,243,777
of 22,771,140 outputs
Outputs from International Ophthalmology
#658
of 1,032 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,088
of 238,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Ophthalmology
#6
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,771,140 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,032 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 238,852 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
