Central retinal vein occlusion occurs when the main vessel that provides blood drainage becomes blocked. Blood and fluid then spills out onto the retina, causing the retina to swell and thicken. the swelling of the retina is called macular edema and can cause distortion or loss of vision.

Michael ip, MD, anD ScORe2: Stamina Assures Treatment Decisions
for CRVO
In May 2017, when the results of the SCORE2 clinical research trial were revealed in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), readers could have interpreted the results as straightforward research showing a similar effect of two different drugs on a serious vision disorder called central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
Doheny-UCLA’s Dr. Michael Ip and his more
than 1,000 co-researchers and study participants
would say loud and clear that the research was
anything but simple. According to Dr. Ip, “It
took us tens of 1,000s of hours, was funded for
over $10,000,000, totaled about seven years from
conception to publication, and required unflagging
stamina.”
effectiveness of two different drugs for treating
central retinal vein occlusion.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO), of which CRVO
is one form, is a common eye disorder often
related to hypertension or diabetes. It occurs
in an estimated 16 million adults in the US,
Europe, Asia, and Australia alone. Treatment is
geared toward preventing swelling in the retina’s
vision-sensitive macula. The swelling is caused
by fluid leaking from obstructed retinal veins.
This swelling, called macular edema, can lead to a
serious loss of visual acuity.
“We enrolled 362 patients with CRVO-related
macular edema,” says Dr. Ip. The patients were
recruited from a network of 66 different hospitals,
medical offices, and clinics across the country. “It
was quite an organizational feat.”
the drugs for coMParisonThe SCORE2 drugs for “head-to-head
comparison” for treating CRVO go by the unwieldy
names of bevacizumab, known by its brand name
Avastin, and aflibercept, or Eylea.
Only one of the drugs, Eylea, is FDA-approved
for treatment of CRVO-related macular edema.
And yet many doctors prescribe Avastin instead
of Eylea, because, in their experience, it can also
reduce macular edema, and at a more amenable
price—approximately $1,960 per dose for Eylea
vs. $60 per dose for Avastin. “Off-label drug use”
The fine print in the JAMA article is a hint
to this effort. Dr. Ip and his SCORE2 co-chair, Dr.
Ingrid Scott of Penn State College of Medicine, as
well as several other key individuals, held primary
responsibility for the research: for the concept
and design; for acquiring research funding from
the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH); for reaching agreement
with two major pharmaceutical firms for the
donation of medications for comparison; for seeking
approval from the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to carry out the study; for the integrity
of the data and the accuracy of its analysis; for
drafting the manuscript; and on and on.
“Barely a day went by that we weren’t working
on some aspect of SCORE2,” says Dr. Ip, who at
the same time was running his medical practice,
performing surgery, teaching, and—over the past
year and a half—serving as medical director of
the Doheny Image Reading Center. Doheny Eye
Institute President and Chief Scientific Officer,
SriniVas Sadda, also had a key role in SCORE2
as a member of its Data and Safety Monitoring
Committee.
Highlighting the importance of the SCORE2
research is its very place of publication. JAMA
is the most widely circulated medical journal on
the planet. Its mission is to promote the art of
medicine and the betterment of public health.
What is score2? What is retinal vein occlusion?
SCORE2 is an acronym for the Study of COmparative Treatments for REtinal Vein Occlusion 2. The researchers were comparing the
is the term used to describe this common and
acceptable practice of prescribing drugs for uses
beyond FDA-approved indications.
“In the parlance of the industry,” says Dr.
Ip, “we wanted to investigate whether Avastin
is ‘non-inferior’ to Eylea for treating macular
edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion.”
If so, doctors and patients would have additional
assurance in their deliberation about treatment
options.”
The design of the study was a randomized
clinical trial, the gold standard for medical
comparisons. Half the SCORE2 participants received
Eylea while the other half received Avastin, both
by intraocular injection every four weeks for six
months. The main measure for comparison was
an improvement in visual
acuity. In other words,
was patients’ visual acuity
with Avastin, the non-
FDA approved treatment
for CRVO, similar to visual
acuity with the approved
treatment Eylea?
“The FDA and NEI
granted us the opportunity
to do this work based on its
potential to improve public
health,” says Dr. Ip. “The
answer is that both drugs
improved visual acuity to approximately the same
degree.”
Given today’s rising medical costs, these
findings are big news. To put it in the language
of Dr. Ip and his co-authors in their JAMA
article, “Among patients with macular edema
due to central retinal vein occlusion, intravitreal
bevacizumab is no different to aflibercept with
respect to visual acuity after six months of
treatment.” This study would save millions of
dollars and allow more CRVO patients to receive
effective medical care.
Score!
the answer is that
both drugs improved
visual acuity to approximately
the same degree.

In Rio de Janiero, Dr. luiza neves uses the RetCam shuttle (portable fundus camera) to take pictures of a baby’s eyes in the hospital.
Drs. andrea Zin and Irena tsui are examining a baby in clinic.
Irena Tsui, MD, is an adult and pediatric retina specialist at Doheny Eye Center UCLA. She is helping the world understand the damage that Zika virus can do to the developing eye.
Most people will remember the anxiety in the United States in 2016 about the
risk to pregnant women of contracting the mosquito-borne Zika infection. A year
earlier, reports from Brazil indicated that Zika virus might be responsible for an
unusually high number of babies born with microcephaly—an abnormally small
head—and other devastating neurological birth defects.
In April 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that, in
fact, Zika virus was responsible for the microcephaly and brain abnormalities.
the eye and brain togetherThe eye and the brain are closely related, not just physically, but also
developmentally. In the womb, the eyes grow from the same tissue that forms the
brain. To Dr. Tsui, several of her UCLA colleagues, and like-minded scientists and
clinicians at the Fernandes Figueira Institute (IFF) in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, it made
sense to investigate eye findings in babies born to Zika-infected mothers.
UCLA infectious disease specialist and public health expert Karin Nielsen-Saines,
MD, was the first to approach Dr. Tsui with the thought. “I agreed, and with a team
from UCLA, we embarked in December 2016 on the first of many trips to learn all we
could about eye involvement in Zika infection,” says Dr. Tsui.
The IFF team had already collected laboratory samples from pregnant women
with Zika symptoms and were using a well-developed research protocol to study their
newborns. Could infants with microcephaly also have eye disease? Is the pathology
unique to Zika or could it be confused with other congenital infections such as
rubella, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, herpes, chikungunya, or dengue, to name
a few? Would a definitive eye-based Zika diagnosis reflect brain involvement and be
amenable to low vision therapy, occupational therapy, or other interventions?
a unique grouP of Mothers and babiesThe babies and mothers being treated by IFF doctors were a unique group. Unlike
other “cohorts” affected, the IFF patients had their Zika diagnosis confirmed by a
very specialized test, and a record of the time during pregnancy that the infection
occurred. “The variety of abnormalities associated with Zika virus exposure is broad,”
says Dr. Tsui. “Laboratory confirmation of infection is extremely complicated because
the results can be confused with other common tropic diseases like dengue virus. A
definitive laboratory test of infection gave us a certainty about studying Zika’s ocular
effect in infants with a range of findings.”
To be more precise JAMA Pediatrics recently published a scientific report of initial
eye findings by the US-Brazilian team. The report is based on examinations of 112
infants (newborns to one year of
age) with confirmed infection. It
features details of eye pathology
and draws links between eye
involvement, microcephaly, brain
abnormalities, and the timing
during pregnancy of the maternal
infection.
Approximately 40% of the
infants had eye abnormalities. Of
these, 20 had microcephaly and 31
had apparent brain involvement.
The effect on the eye was most
closely matched to maternal Zika infection during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Notably, ten infants had eye findings without the presence of microcephaly.
This report led the Center for Disease Control to recommend eye screening for
all infants whose mother had a confirmed laboratory diagnosis of Zika infection, not
just those infants with microcephaly. “We would like all infants born during a Zika
epidemic to have a screening eye exam,” says Dr. Tsui, “but this is not always possible
because of limited resources.”
The most common findings are optic nerve and retinal involvement.
next stePs This is the beginning of the story. “We are following over 250 infants
who were affected by Zika virus,” says Dr. Tsui. “We believe their
condition may improve with low vision, occupational, and physical
therapy and are continuing to follow their visual function and
neurological development.”
Although Zika is currently quiet across the Americas, it could
return, as other mosquito-borne viruses have done in the past. “We
and our colleagues in infectious disease, obstetrics, neonatology,
and neurology want to be prepared with more knowledge,
preventive strategies, and early intervention. We want to provide
the best possible outcome for children born during a Zika virus
epidemic.”
Dr. Tsui is returning to Brazil in April for her fourth visit to the
children, their families, and her colleagues.

Kenneth lU, MD: EyE Doctor, Innovator, ExtrEmE PumPkIn carvEr
“I have two passions,” says Dr. Kenneth Lu, “One is ophthalmic innovation and entrepreneurship. The other is art.”
Dr. Lu is a Doheny-UCLA
ophthalmologist who specializes
in cataract and refractive
surgery. Among his innovations
is a special intraocular lens (IOL)
that self-adjusts as a
person looks close-up
and far away. He also
galvanizes interest
and action among
his colleagues for the
commercialization of
innovative medical
advances.
As an artist, Dr. Lu sculpts wildly imaginative shapes and
familiar faces—out of pumpkins! He is a gifted painter, but it
is inventive pumpkin carving that garners his attention and
enthusiasm.
One could argue that being an artist and an
ophthalmologist are similar endeavors. A great surgeon is
technically adept, precise and creative, talents that are all
needed in the production of art. Indeed, at UC Berkeley, Dr.
Lu majored in both biochemistry and art, and once even
considered a career in art.
oPhthalMology and entrePreneurshiPTo design and patent his IOL, Dr. Lu worked with
engineers, lawyers, business strategists, investors, and
industry executives. “The path was arduous and long,” he
says. Then he set out to convert his experience into useful
knowledge for fellow Doheny
innovators and entrepreneurs,
Dr. Lu established an annual
Doheny Eye Institute conference
called, “Innovations and
Entrepreneurship: Ideation to
Commercialization.” A similar
effort he spearheads is the
“Entrepreneurship Taskforce,”
which supports innovators and
entrepreneurs like himself.
Not everything that is
discussed at these conferences
applies strictly to ophthalmology.
At the December 2017
conference, for example, a UCLA
business strategy professor presented his idea of using copper
to fight hospital-based infections. “It turns out that copper
is naturally antimicrobial,” says Dr. Lu. “It kills bacteria,
viruses, and fungi usually within minutes of contact. The
benefit to hospitals and our patients could be huge.”
orange art For the past several years, he and his family have
gone above and beyond at Halloween. Like many of
us, they carve grocery store
pumpkins using tools from
the local hobby shop and
protecting their
kitchen table with
paper bags. But
that is where
the similarity
ends.
For four or five hours straight, they dig in and carve
out, crafting orange rind and pulp into likenesses of their
favorite singers, actors, and characters, etc.. “It’s fun and
invigorating. My best outcome was Elvis Presley,” says Dr. Lu.
“Bruce Lee came in a close second.”
“Elvis took a lot of shading,” he adds. Shading is
created by precisely placing candles, in deeply or shallowly
carved spaces, in order to take advantage of a candle’s glow,
emphasizing a feature, creating depth, and adding to the
overall illusion of three-dimensionality. The results have
been masterful.
Dr. Lu started his extreme pumpkin-carving by carving
interesting patterns; mistakes could easily be covered by a
decorative flourish or two. “But with Elvis, I had to get it
exactly right,” Dr. Lu says.
innovation Dr. Lu weds art and medicine to innovative thinking. In
addition to creating his own commercial products, Dr. Lu
is interested in the innovations of others. He recently
returned from a trip to China and Hong Kong where he
learned a pioneering cosmetic
surgery technique. “It’s the least
invasive approach for facial surgery
I’ve seen, and with a
remarkable result,” he
says. Dr. Lu’s artistic
talents are certainly invaluable when he performs
eye surgery.
He would agree that seeing clearly, expressing one’s
creativity, and allowing others to do the same are arts in
their own right.

and refractive surgeon, innovator, and entrepreneur. Visit

ruTh roMoff
Doheny Eye Institute is sad to announce the passing of beloved supporter and friend, Ruth Romoff. Ruth passed away on December 23, 2017, at the age of 104. Ruth is survived by her sons, Gilbert and Steve, her daughter Marian, her grandchildren Wendy, Gary, Heidi and Alissa, and her great-grandchildren Jessica, Missy, Brooke and Jordan.
Ruth lived a vibrant and active life. She was born in Los Angeles in 1913. She and her
husband Louis purchased a citrus farm in 1943, and Ruth helped to manage the day-to-day
activities at the ranch, all while raising her three children. She served her community by
volunteering on the school board and helping with her local Cub and
Girl Scouts. Ruth inspired those that knew her by her determination
to remain active and engaged throughout her entire life—she
attended public events and traveled well past her 100th birthday.
She will be remembered for her quick wit and sense of humor, her
generosity, and most of all, for her kindness.
Ruth first came to Doheny in the mid-1980s as a patient of
former Doheny physician Dr. George Baerveldt. “Mother was fiercely
committed to maintaining her eyesight,” her daughter Marian
remembers. Although she suffered from glaucoma, Ruth received
treatments that helped to maintain her vision. As a grateful patient, Ruth became a supporter
of vision research at Doheny. She made major contributions to
support glaucoma research, and made Doheny a beneficiary of her
charitable remainder trust.
Ruth will be missed by her friends at Doheny and the
enjoyable moments we shared with her. Ruth enriched the lives
of those of us who knew her, and through her gift to Doheny, her
legacy will help find treatments and cures for eye diseases that
help those she never met. ❧

and their guests for a night of design, delicious
bites and generous giving in
early September. Thanks to Scott
Mayer, great friend of Doheny,
who opened his Lantern House
complex for this special night
of celebration for a cause. With
food by Gjelina, a few exclusive
auction items and plenty to talk
about among the artfully designed
spaces, it was a memorable evening.
A special thanks to our Luminaires
Juniors for their leadership in
engaging young professional donors
in Doheny’s work!
