Purpose:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravitreal melphalan (IVM) injection therapy in vitreoretinal lymphoma.
Methods:
Eight eyes of five biopsy-proven vitreoretinal lymphoma patients who were treated with IVM injection as a…
Purpose:

Methods:
This was a retrospective, nationwide, population-based cohort study that examin…
Purpose:
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
Purpose:
To investigate the possible correlation factors of choroidal thickness in ABCA4-related retinopathy.
Methods:
A total of 66 patients were included in the cohort. It is a retrospective, cross-sectional laboratory investigation. The p…
Purpose:
To describe modification of the suprachoroidal buckling technique for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), which may improve the safety profile.
Methods:

Purpose:
To evaluate prophylactic treatment (PTx) of lattice degeneration (LD) on retinal tear (RT) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) risk in fellow eyes of patients after primary RRD repair in the first eye.
Methods:
This was a consecutive case series with cohort control involving patients with RRD repair from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2017. Patients received PTx (PTx cohort) or no PTx (No-PTx cohort) in fellow eye with 5-year follow-up. Primary outcome measure was proportion with new fellow eye RT/RRD. Secondary outcomes included logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and status of myopia, posterior vitreous detachment, and pseudophakia.
Results:
Four hundred ninety-eight patients were divided into 146 and 352 in PTx and No-PTx cohorts, respectively. PTx cohort developed significantly (P
Purpose:
To investigate the effect of an inverted internal limiting membrane flap (IF) and other factors on metamorphopsia after macular hole surgery.
Methods:
Prospective case series of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade, with either conventional internal limiting membrane peeling (CP) or an IF, for primary idiopathic macular holes ≤ 500 µm. Vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia were measured as M-scores (degrees) using M-charts preoperatively and at 2, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
Results:
Fifty-three eyes of 53 patients were included of whom 27 underwent CP and 26 were treated with an IF. After macular hole surgery, all patients were pseudophakic. Vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia improved from 1.08 (±0.51) and 0.98 (±0.70) preoperatively to 0.58 (±0.37) and 0.45 (±0.36) at 2 months (P
Purpose:
To investigate eyes with polypoidal lesions associated with choroidal nevi, their multimodal imaging characteristics, and long clinical follow-up.
Methods:
Multicenter, retrospective case series study of patients with polypoidal les…
