Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how common metamorphopsia (visual distortion) is after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and what factors might predict its occurrence.
- - In a group of 107 patients, metamorphopsia prevalence dropped from 51.4% to 29.9% over six months post-surgery, and certain eye structure changes were linked to this improvement.
- - The only preoperative factor that predicted postoperative metamorphopsia was macular detachment, while an assessment tool called M-CHARTS proved effective for predicting recovery in visual distortion after six months.
Introduction: To evaluate the effect of an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab at the time of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery, on postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in high-risk patients selected by laser flare photometry.
Methods: This single-center observational retrospective cohort study included 137 consecutive patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and gas tamponade for primary RRD with increased aqueous flare between July 2016 and June 2021. From June 2019, an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab was administered as an adjunct to RRD repair.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the temporal inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique compared with that of conventional ILM peeling on the extent of the dissociated optic nerve fiber layer (DONFL) and retinal sensitivity in patients undergoing macular hole (MH) surgery.
Design: Single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial.
Participants: Patients requiring vitrectomy for MHs sized > 250 μm.
Purpose: To evaluate macular microvascular changes and their correlation with visual outcomes after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: The study included 74 eyes successfully operated for RRD.
