Surgical Outcomes of Progressive Retinoschisis-Related Retinal Detachments: A 17-Year Survey From a Large Academic Center.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
March 2022
Background And Objective: To provide an overview of progressive retinoschisis-related retinal detachment (RSRD) management at a tertiary referral center.
Materials And Methods: Single-institution retrospective case series from January 1, 2003, to May 1, 2020.
Results: Progressive RSRD occurred in 0.
Purpose: Retinal detachment (RD) is associated with poor visual outcomes in patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN). This research was undertaken to assess the risk factors for RD in ARN.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: The mainstay empiric treatments of bacterial endophthalmitis are intravitreal vancomycin and ceftazidime. In the United States, up to 10% of the general population has a reported penicillin (PCN) allergy. Despite low cross-reactivity between PCN and later-generation cephalosporins, some providers alter the intravitreal antibiotic choice for endophthalmitis because of concern for allergic reactions.

We analyzed levels of dopamine (DA) and its primary metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), in the vitreous of diabetic and non-diabetic human subjects. Adult patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for non-hemorrhagic indications were prospectively recruited from the Emory Eye Center in Atlanta, GA.

Methods: This prospective, observational, clinical study occurred at an academic institution. Participants were individuals aged 18 years and older who had already consented to undergo pars plana vitrectomy, without pre-existing corneal pathology.
Purpose: To describe presenting clinical features and surgical techniques that are associated with successful surgical repair of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Participants: Two hundred twelve eyes of 191 patients 0 to 18 years of age undergoing surgical repair for RRD between 2001 and 2015 with a minimum follow-up of 3 months.
Purpose: To report results of aflibercept therapy in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration previously treated with bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or both.
Design: Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative, consecutive case series.
Methods: Ninety-six eyes from 85 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who previously had received bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or both were treated with aflibercept monthly for 3 months followed by a fourth injection within 2 months.
Objective: To describe the clinical features and imaging characteristics in unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy.
Methods: Retrospective review of 4 patients with a diagnosis of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy. Clinical characteristics (age, symptoms, Snellen visual acuity, and funduscopic features) and images from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography were analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the use of microscope mounted spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to detect changes in retinal anatomy during macular surgery.
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Participants: We included 25 eyes of 24 consecutive patients who underwent SD-OCT during macular surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of topical ketorolac in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery.
Methods: One hundred nine patients undergoing vitrectomies were randomized to receive either topical ketorolac tromethamine, 0.4%, or placebo.
