RETINA

Purpose:

To describe a modified intrascleral fixation technique for repositioning single-piece rigid polymethyl methacrylate intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods:

Four patients with dislocated IOLs were enrolled. Surgical modifications included using ≤1-mm scleral incision for haptic externalization, placing the IOL haptic placement in scleral tunnels, and using 8-0 absorbable sutures. Patients were followed up for 6 months with routine ophthalmic examinations, corneal endothelial cell counts, and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Results:

The mean follow-up time was 13.5 ± 5.45 months. The IOL was well centered and the spherical refraction improved (+10.25 ± 2.21 vs. −0.81 ± 1.59 D, P

Background:

To report a novel technique for explantation of cloudy Oculentis intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods:

A retrospective review of patient’s electronic records was performed. The technique includes pars plana vitrectomy, deflooring (lar…

Seven consecutive patients underwe…

Purpose:

We describe an alternative vitreoretinal technique that allows for the macular hole closure without filling the vitreous cavity with gas.

Methods:

A prospective interventional one-center case series from March 2019 to January 2020. …

Purpose:

To investigate the effectiveness of an intraoperative surgical technique to reduce the incidence of immediate postoperative cavity hemorrhage in patients undergoing vitrectomy for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose:

To develop a quick and cost-effective alternative to a chandelier light for vitrectomy.

Methods:

The surgical material available in an ophthalmologic operating room was used to create a sleeve for the vitrectomy light probe and test…

Methods:

We collected retrospectively 20 eyes of 20 patients who underwent to scleral buckling for retinal detachment. I…

Purpose:

To describe our experience using the gyroscopic mouse in digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery.

Methods:
