IMAGING RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL LESIONS AND PERIPHERAL VITREORETINAL INTERFACE WITH WIDEFIELD OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY
Analyze the peripheral vitreoretinal interface with widefield optical coherence tomography.
Methods:
Retrospective chart analysis and widefield optical coherence tomography in 120 consecutive cases of rhegmatogenous pathology.
Results:
There were 166 lesions in 120 eyes, including 106 horseshoe tears, 22 operculated holes, 30 nonoperculated holes, six giant tears, and two peripheral lamellar defects followed for 6.1 ± 1.2 months. Posterior vitreous detachment was present in all eyes (101/101, 100%) with tears and operculated holes, but only in 5/19 eyes (26.3%) with nonoperculated holes (P

IMPLICATIONS OF COMPLETE POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT IN EYES WITH CENTRAL RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION
To evaluate the status of the posterior vitreous hyaloid on presenting optical coherence tomography images of the macula and its relationship to clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion.
Methods:
This is a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of consecutive patients with acute, treatment-naive central retinal vein occlusion diagnosed between 2009 and 2021 who had at least 12 months of follow-up. Clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes were analyzed between eyes stratified based on the presence or absence of a complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on optical coherence tomography at presentation.
Results:
Of 102 acute, treatment-naive central retinal vein occlusions identified, 52 (51%) had complete PVD at presentation and 50 (49%) did not. Central subfield thickness was significantly lower in those with complete PVD (12 months: 284.9 ± 122.9 µm vs. 426.8 ± 286.4 µm, P

IMPACT OF FOVEAL STATUS AND TIMING OF SURGERY ON VISUAL OUTCOME IN RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT
To investigate the impact of surgical timing on visual acuity outcomes in retinal detachments based on the preoperative foveal status.
Methods:
A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted. Cases were stratified into fovea-on, fovea-split, and fovea-off groups. Days to surgery was defined as the time between the preoperative examination and surgery. The main outcome measure was the final postoperative visual acuity.
Results:
1,675 cases were studied. More than 80% of fovea-on/fovea-split and fovea-off cases had surgery within 1 and 3 days, respectively. The mean final postoperative visual acuity did not differ significantly between the fovea-on and fovea-split groups (Snellen equivalent [SE] 20/33 ± 20/49 and 20/32 ± 20/39, P = 1.000) and did not change significantly based on days to surgery in either group. The mean final postoperative visual acuity was lowest in the fovea-off group (Snellen equivalent = 20/56 ± 20/76, P
