Purpose:

To report the long-term clinical outcomes of transscleral four-point fixation of Akreos intraocular lens using a closed continuous-loop suture technique.

Methods:

This was a retrospective, multicenter, interventional case series. Primary outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell density, and complications with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

Results:

One hundred and ninety-two eyes of 177 patients from two surgical hospital sites were identified. The mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.88 ± 0.74 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/152) preoperatively to 0.42 ± 0.52 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/53) postoperatively (P

Purpose:

Serine (Ser) and glycine (Gly) levels were reported to differ between patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) compared with healthy controls. Because they are closely related to methylation metabolism, this report investigates…

Purpose:

To observe the diagnostic value of multispectral fundus imaging (MSI) in hypertensive retinopathy (HR).

Methods:

A total of 100 patients with HR were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and all participants received fundus photo…

Purpose:

To assess the impact of bilateral vision status on vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) in patients with Type 2 diabetes in a Chinese cohort.

Methods:

Patients with presenting visual acuity (PVA) and VR-QOL data from the Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study were included. Vision-related quality of life was assessed using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25. Monocular PVA (Snellen) was categorized into three levels for both the better-seeing eye and worse-seeing eye: 1) high PVA (H, > 6/18); 2) moderate PVA (M, 6/18–6/60); and 3) low PVA (L,

Purpose:

The intraocular lens blocking technique described for the removal of intraocular foreign bodies emerged as a result of an effort to prevent the foreign body from being retracted into the posterior segment because of the resistance encounte…

Purpose:

To explore characteristic imaging features of nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy (npAIR) to augment diagnostic criteria.

Methods:

This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with npAIR evaluated at the Emory Eye Center be…

Purpose:

To investigate the structure and blood flow of the retina and choroid in Cushing syndrome and their relationship with cortisol levels.

Methods:

A consecutive series of patients with Cushing syndrome with adrenocortical carcinoma were included in this study. Cortisol levels gradually returned to normal after adrenalectomy. Optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography were used to assess patients with Cushing syndrome before and after the surgery for retina and choroid. Correlation analysis was performed between cortisol level and fundus changes.

Results:

Compared with normal cortisol levels, patients with Cushing syndrome had significantly lower central macular thickness with increased cortisol level (220.82 ± 16.59 µm and 223.68 ± 15.78 µm, P = 0.019). However, the central choroidal thickness was higher with increased cortisol level (255.18 ± 105.89 µm and 205.94 ± 87.04 µm, P

Purpose:

To evaluate outer retinal recovery on postoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) based on presenting morphologic stage of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods:

Retrospective cohort of consecutive primary fovea-involving RRDs, referred from January 2012 to September 2022. Baseline OCTs were assessed for morphologic stage of RRD. Postoperative OCT scans were graded at 3, 6, and 12 months for external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone discontinuity, epiretinal membrane formation and severity, and residual subfoveal fluid.

Results:

Three hundred and fifty-one patients were included. Increasing baseline morphologic stage of RRD was significantly associated with external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone, and interdigitation zone discontinuity at all time points postoperatively (P
