Purpose:

To compare the effects of macular intraretinal hemorrhage (IRH) and macular hole (MH) on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after displacement of submacular hemorrhage (SMH) due to retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) rupture.

Methods:

This multicenter retrospective study included 48 eyes with SMH due to RAM rupture. Cases underwent vitrectomy to displace SMH and were followed up for 6 months. We classified cases according to the presence of IRH and MH and compared the postoperative BCVA among the groups.

Results:

We classified the eyes into IRH(+)MH(+) group (10 eyes), IRH(+)MH(−) group (23 eyes), and IRH(−)MH(−) group (15 eyes). The postoperative BCVA was significantly worse in the IRH(+)MH(+) and IRH(+)MH(−) groups than in the IRH(−)MH(−) group (0.91 ± 0.41 in logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution units, Snellen equivalent 20/163, 0.87 ± 0.45, 20/148, and 0.18 ± 0.21, 20/30, respectively; P

Purpose:

The purpose of the study was to report the clinical features and best-corrected visual acuity outcomes in patients with acute- and delayed-onset endophthalmitis after open globe injuries.

Methods:

The study included a retrospective, comparative, consecutive case series of patients with endophthalmitis after open globe injury between January 2016 and October 2020 at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

Results:

Acute-onset endophthalmitis accounted for 16 of 20 cases (80%), and all cases were diagnosed at the initial examination. Delayed-onset endophthalmitis cases, occurring more than 2 weeks after injury, accounted for 4 of 20 cases (20%) and were because of Zone 1 wound leaks and infections. Factors associated with endophthalmitis included presence of a retained intraocular foreign body (11/20 [55%]) and delay of presentation >24 hours (15/20 [75%]) (P

Purpose:

To assess a novel surgical technique to perform macular surgery in high myopic eyes, with axial lengths >34 mm, where standard-size intravitreal surgical instruments cannot reach the retinal surface during pars plana vitrectomy for interna…

Purpose:

To identify the characteristics of the retinal microvasculature in epiretinal membrane patients with ectopic inner foveal layer (EIFL).

Methods:

Patients were classified into two groups: those without EIFL (Group 1) and those with EIFL (Group 2). The vessel density (VD), perfusion density (PD), and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters were compared using optical coherence tomography angiography. Linear regression analysis was performed to identify the optical coherence tomography angiography parameters associated with best-corrected visual acuity.

Results:

The VD of the central area in Group 1 and Group 2 was 11.6 ± 3.3 and 17.2 ± 2.8 mm−1, respectively (P

Purpose:

To report on results of pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and concomitant macular hole (MH) and to assess for preoperative associated conditions related to this type of RRD.
