Purpose:
To report the clinical presentation and outcomes in patients with Valsalva retinopathy.

Purpose:
To verify whether disposable microforceps can be magnetized to atraumatically attract and then grasp intraocular foreign bodies. An effective magnetization protocol was developed. The clinical relevance was tested, and a first practical ap…
Purpose:
To assess the topographical distribution of intraretinal cystoid space (IRC) and its prognostic value in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM).
Methods:

Purpose:
To describe a novel technique for capsular bag reopening and secondary in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in aphakic eyes after vitreoretinal surgery and intraocular tamponade.
Methods:
We enrolled 14 eyes of 14 patients who underwent primary vitreoretinal surgery with silicone oil tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment between September 2018 and September 2019. The novel technique was used for capsular bag reopening and foldable single-piece IOL implantation. Patients were followed up at least 24 weeks with routine ophthalmic examinations, corneal endothelial cell density, and IOL tilt and decentration measurement.
Results:
The procedure was successfully completed in 13 cases; in one case, because of posterior capsular tear, the IOL was implanted with ciliary sulcus fixation. After a mean follow-up of 48.8 ± 14.8 (range, 24.9–65.9) weeks, the best-corrected visual acuity (before 20/76 Snellen, 0.63 ± 0.23 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution equivalent and after 20/35 Snellen, 0.32 ± 0.32 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution equivalent; P = 0.001) and spherical equivalent (before +8.22 ± 4.08, after −2.39 ± 1.77 D; P
Purpose:
Analysis of a 3-year, Phase 4, open-label, observational study evaluating the association of baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with visual, treatment burden, and retinal thickness variability (RTV) outcomes and intraocular press…
Purpose:
To introduce a surgical technique, “pound-shape silicone oil retention suture in aphakic eye with intact iris.”

Purpose:
To determine the effect of different durations of topical anesthesia on intravitreal injection (IVI) pain.
Methods:
This was a double-blinded, randomized, comparative study. Three hundred and twelve sequential eyes undergoing IVI we…
Purpose:
To assess the merits of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during pars plana vitrectomy in subjects with a tractional retinal detachment secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Methods:
One hundred and ninety-one proliferative diabetic retinopathy subjects undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for the principal indication of tractional retinal detachment were enrolled into this randomized controlled trial. Study subjects were intraoperatively randomized into one of the following treatment groups: Cohort A patients underwent ILM peeling, whereas Cohort B patients did not undergo ILM peeling. The main outcome was postsurgical epiretinal membrane development at 6 months. The secondary outcome was attainment of ≥ 20/50 visual acuity (Snellen) at 6 months.
Results:
One hundred and thirty-nine subjects underwent randomization and completed the study’s 6-month trial period. Cohort A had 3.1% (2 of 64) of subjects developing an epiretinal membrane postoperatively, whereas Group B had 26.7% (20 of 75) of subjects developing an epiretinal membrane postoperatively at 6 months (P
