Background:
Imaging indicators of macular neovascularization risk can help determine patient eligibility for new treatments for geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Because type 1 macular neovascularization includes inf…
Purpose:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of vitrectomy pars plana vitrectomy in managing intraocular complications relating to vasoproliferative tumors of the retina (VPL).
Methods:
Retrospective study. 17 patients with VPL who underw…
Purpose:
To explore the etiologies, characteristics, and prognosis of lamellar macular hole (LMH) in pediatric patients.
Methods:
A consecutive series of 59 patients (62 eyes) aged
Purpose:
Local anesthesia is commonly adopted in vitreoretinal surgery to reach painless and akinesia surgical condition. Currently, peribulbar anesthesia (PBA) and subtenon injection (STN) are the most widely used methods. We propose a transcarunc…
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of an optimized method to clearly remove the subretinal proliferative tissue by transscleral puncture into the subretinal space in patients with grade C proliferative vitre…
Purpose:
To compare three different internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling techniques, including standard ILM peeling, fovea-sparing ILM peeling, and inverted ILM flap (ILMF), in the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy with high risk of postoperative macular hole development.
Method:
This retrospective cohort study enrolled 101 eyes suffering from lamellar macular hole combined with myopic traction maculopathy in 98 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy with either standard ILM peeling, fovea-sparing ILM peeling, or ILMF from July 2017 to August 2020. All patients were followed up for at least 12 months after surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity, macular anatomical outcomes, and postoperative full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation were evaluated.
Results:
No significant differences were found among the three surgical groups in baseline characteristics. 12 months after surgery, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was significantly improved (P
Purpose:
To describe specific clinical, multimodal imaging, and natural history features of an unusual variant of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
Methods:
Retrospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter case series. Patients ex…
Purpose:
To investigate an alternative surgical method for macular hole repair without fluid–air exchange, gas tamponade, and prone positioning.
Methods:
Eighteen eyes of 17 patients with macular holes underwent minimal posterior pole vitrec…
Purpose:
To report a novel technique for refixation of the dislocated CZ70BD intraocular lens.
Methods:
Posterior vitrectomy is performed with a 23-gauge or 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy system with chandelier illumination. One needle of a …
