Purpose:
To describe new histological findings involving the inner retina in birdshot chorioretinopathy.
Methods:
Evaluation of the inner retinal pathology of the eye of a patient with bilateral birdshot chorioretinopathy who underwent enucl…
Purpose:
To evaluate the impact of different intraocular tamponades on the vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) after idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IEM) surgery with epiretinal membrane peeling.
Methods:
We prospectively enrolled 50 patients diagnosed with IEM who underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Patients were consecutively assigned to either the air tamponade (air) group (25 patients) or the balanced salt solution (BSS) tamponade group (25 patients). The following data were collected before and after surgery and compared between the two groups: VRQOL, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, metamorphopsia, contrast sensitivity, and central macular thickness.
Results:
Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in 50 eyes. At baseline, there were no significant differences between the two groups. At 6 months postoperatively, VRQOL (P
Purpose:
To review the literature on eyes with concurrent rhegmatogenous retinal and choroidal detachment (RRD-CD).
Methods:
Several databases were searched for “rhegmatogenous retinal detachment” and “choroidal detachment” through October 2…
Purpose:
To present a suturing technique for safe refixation of posteriorly dislocated one-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Method:
Retrospective data analysis of a series of 12 cases operated with vitrectomy, followed by…
Purpose:
To report the clinical presentation and outcomes in patients with Valsalva retinopathy.
Methods:
This was a retrospective case series of patients diagnosed with Valsalva retinopathy between June 1, 2010, and May 31, 2020. Clinical n…
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:
One hundred twenty-two eyes of iERM that had been followed up for 6 months afte…
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
