Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair by Pars Plana Vitrectomy With and Without Scleral Buckling: A Propensity Score Analysis [Response to Letter].
Clin Ophthalmol
February 2025
Purpose: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) may have frequent recurrences after fluid resolution, but time to recurrence is unclear. This study explored time to first polypoidal recurrence after 1-year fixed-dosing aflibercept treatments.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who received primary repair by combined pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling (PPV/SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone by using a propensity analysis.
Patients And Methods: This study was a single center retrospective observational study. Medical records of patients who underwent surgical interventions between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Giant retinal tear-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (GRT-RRD) presents a significant surgical challenge. Trauma stands out as one of the risk factors. This retrospective case series aims to assess the outcomes of GRT-RRD patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), distinguishing between non-trauma and blunt ocular trauma cases.

- Retained intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) are a significant cause of visual impairment, with unique visual outcomes compared to other open globe injuries, particularly when not related to terrorism.
- A study of 161 patients revealed that most injuries were caused by grass trimming and metallic objects, with a notable improvement in vision after treatment; the proportion of patients with poor vision dropped significantly.
- The Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) was found to be a useful predictor of final visual outcomes, especially in higher categories, but there were inconsistencies in visual acuity in lower OTS groups, indicating the need for careful treatment decision-making.
Optical Coherence Tomography Features for Identifying Posttreatment Complete Polypoidal Regression in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy.
Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila)
September 2022
Purpose: To determine accuracy and relative risk (RR) of posttreatment optical coherence tomography (OCT) features in identifying complete or incomplete polypoidal regression in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Design: Validity analysis.
Methods: Treatment-naive PCV eyes undergoing OCT and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) at baseline and posttreatment were included.
Purpose: To determine prevalence of probable polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) among White patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) using non-indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) criteria DESIGN: Multicenter, multinational, retrospective, cross-sectional study.
Methods: A total of 208 treatment-naive eyes from Hispanic and non-Hispanic White individuals diagnosed with nAMD were included. All underwent color fundus photography (CFP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FFA).
