简介:目的:评估单剂量枸橼酸西地那非片对早期年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)男性患者视功能的急性效应。方法:早期年龄相关性黄斑变性男40例,年龄58~86(平均71)岁,前瞻性随机接受安慰剂或者枸橼酸西地那非片(Viagra;PfizerInc,NewYork,NY)100mg,单次口服。受试者双眼在接受药物之前及之后9h内特定的时间间期进行视力、Amsler方格表及辨色力检查。结果:与安慰剂相比,服用枸橼酸西地那非片后视功能检查均未有明显改变。视力和辨色力检查在基线水平上未见有统计意义或临床相关的改变,Amsler方格表检查未见临床相关的改变。服用枸橼酸西地那非片与短暂的轻度至中度头痛和面红有关。结论:单次口服100mg枸橼酸西地那非片,在早期年龄相关性黄斑变性男性样本人群中,耐受性良好,未对视觉产生显著急性效应。

简介:亚洲神经眼科协会(ASNOS)于2002年在日本东京成立。由亚洲神经眼科协会每两年主办一次的亚洲神经眼科大会是一个大型国际神经眼科会议,代表了亚洲神经眼科基础研究及临床研究的最高水平。历届会议都有数百名各国神经眼科专业人士进行学术交流,对国际最近神经眼科新技术及学术前沿进行介绍及讨论。亚洲神经眼科大会提供了一个国际化平台,让世界各地的参会者对前沿的神经眼科研究课题交流想法,探讨最新进展及促进未来的合作。在亚洲神经眼科大会中一个尤其出名且重要的病例讨论版块“WalshinAsia”,选取各国出色的带病理结果的病例进行深入剖析,非常具有挑战性。
