Purpose:
To describe a surgical technique using the structural advantages of beveled tip cutters.
Methods:
The introduction of beveled tips has been one of the few modifications that have been performed to vitrectomy probes since first descr…
Purpose:
Limited vitrectomy improves vision degrading myodesopsia, but the incidence of recurrent floaters postoperatively is not known. We studied patients with recurrent central floaters using ultrasonography and contrast sensitivity (CS) testing…
Purpose:
To describe the phenotypic variability and rates of progression of atrophy in patients with PROM1-associated macular dystrophy.
Methods:
Patients in this retrospective, longitudinal case series from a tertiary center had clinical ex…
Purpose:
To present and compare the clinical features and multimodal imaging (MMI) findings of the primary form of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and MEWDS secondary to multifocal choroiditis/punctate inner choroidopathy (MFC/PIC).

Purpose:
To investigate the thicknesses and areas of Henle fiber layer (HFL), outer nuclear layer, and outer plexiform layer in the eyes of patients with diabetes with no diabetic retinopathy, in eyes with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without diabetic macular edema, and in healthy eyes using a modified directional optical coherence tomography strategy.
Methods:
In this prospective study, the no diabetic retinopathy group included 79 participants, the nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy group comprised 68 participants, and the control group had 58 participants. Thicknesses and areas of Henle fiber layer, outer nuclear layer, and outer plexiform layer were measured on a horizontal single optical coherence tomography scan centered on the fovea using directional optical coherence tomography.
Results:
The foveal, parafoveal, and total HFL were significantly thinner in the nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy group than in the no diabetic retinopathy group and the control group (all P 0.05).
Conclusion:
Directional optical coherence tomography provides isolated thickness and area measurement of HFL. In patients with diabetes, the HFL is thinner, and HFL thinning begins before the presence of diabetic retinopathy.
Purpose:
To assess genetic associations for pentosan polysufate sodium maculopathy.
Methods:
Genetic testing for inherited retinal dystrophy genes using exome testing and for 14 age-related macular degeneration-associated single nucleotide p…
Purpose:
Retinal vasculitis or vascular occlusion (RV/RO) have been reported after brolucizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. This systematic literature review evaluated RV/RO events after brolucizumab in real-world practice.

Purpose:
We performed a multicenter, retrospective study on patients with bilateral chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) who received single-session bilateral reduced-settings photodynamic therapy (ssbPDT) and assessed anatomical (resolu…
