Purpose:

To report 12-month visual outcomes, incidence of intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy with retropupillary implantation of an iris claw intraocular lens (IOL) in aphakic eyes after complicated cataract surgery and eyes with a dislocation of the IOL.

Methods:

This is a retrospective analysis of eyes undergoing implantation of an iris claw IOL combined with pars plana vitrectomy from 1st of January 2009 until 30th of June 2018 after complicated cataract extraction with capsular loss (Group A) or dislocation of an IOL (Group B). Corrected distance visual acuity was analyzed in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units, IOP was recorded in mmHg.

Results:

Eyes in Group A (n = 49) improved from a preoperative median visual acuity of 0.523 logMAR (Snellen 20/65) to 0.201 logMAR (Snellen 20/30), P 0.05. During 12 months in Group A, IOP >21 mmHg occurred in 9 (18.4%) eyes; no eye had an IOP 21 mmHg occurred in 15 (11.9%) eyes, IOP 21 mmHg or

Purpose:

To study the utility of MultiColor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope imaging (MCI) in identifying the morphology of uveitic lesions compared with conventional color fundus photography (CFP) in patients with posterior uveitis.

Purpose:

To compare between oral and intravenous (IV) ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography in pediatric patients with a history of prematurity of retinopathy or prematurity.

Methods:

Pediatric patients (

Purpose:

To report updated clinical outcomes in subjects undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using modern techniques and equipment for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy–related complications. Pooled analysis of five randomized …

Purpose:

To assess retinal microvascular alterations in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and nonamnestic MCI.

Methods:

One hundred twelve eyes of 59 amnestic MCI participants, 32 eyes of 17 nonamnestic MCI participants, and 111 eyes of 56 controls with normal cognition were included. Optical coherence tomography angiography vessel density and perfusion density in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study 3-mm circle and ring were assessed. Retinal thickness parameters including retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness, central subfield thickness, and subfoveal choroidal thickness were also analyzed. Multivariable generalized estimating equations were used for statistical analysis.

Results:

Perfusion density in the 3-mm inner ring was significantly lower in amnestic MCI patients when compared with nonamnestic MCI participants (0.29 ± 0.03 vs. 0.34 ± 0.09, P = 0.025) and controls with normal cognition (0.29 ± 0.03 vs. 0.39 ± 0.02, P

Purpose:

Purpose:

Evaluate association of retinal nonperfusion (NP) on ultrawide field (UWF) fluorescein angiography (FA) with diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity and predominantly peripheral lesions (PPL).

Methods:

Multicenter observational study, 652 eyes (361 participants) having nonproliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema in at least one eye. Baseline 200° UWF-color and UWF-FA images were graded by a central reading center for color-PPL and FA-PPL, respectively. UWF-FA was graded for NP index within concentric zones: posterior pole (15 mm).

Results:

Baseline Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study DR severity was 31.7% no DR/mild NPDR, 24.1% moderate NPDR, 14.0% moderately severe NPDR, 25.6% severe/very severe NPDR, and 4.6% proliferative DR. Worse DR severity was associated with increased NP index overall (P = 0.002), in the posterior pole (P

Purpose:

To evaluate regional sclera thicknesses as possible risk factors for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods:

Patients with CSC and controls were evaluated with contact B-scan ultrasonography using a 20 Mhz concentric phased array ultrasound unit and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography to measure the scleral thickness at the equator and posterior pole. The resultant data were evaluated using univariate analysis and generalized estimating equations.

Results:

There were 40 patients with CSC with a mean age of 58 years and 23 controls with a mean age of 60.7 years (P = 0.31). The mean subfoveal scleral thicknesses were 1.3 mm in the CSC group and 0.86 mm in the control group (P

Purpose:

The aim of our prospective off-label, interventional clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fluocinolone-loop-anchoring technique over two years in eyes with iris–lens diaphragm disruption and pseudophakic cystoid ma…
