Settings and Clinical Applications of Subthreshold Micropulse Laser Therapy: A Review.

Subthreshold lasers operate below the threshold of visible tissue damage, thereby preventing ophthalmoscopically visible thermal damage to the chorio-retinal layers. They could represent a safe and effective alternative and/or adjunctive procedure to conventional lasers in treating diabetic macula edema (DME), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), and branch retina vein occlusion (BRVO). This review focuses on the use of subthreshold micropulse laser (SMPL), its settings, and clinical applications.

Prediction of Functional and Anatomic Progression in Lamellar Macular Holes.

Purpose: To use artificial intelligence to identify imaging biomarkers for anatomic and functional progression of lamellar macular hole (LMH) and elaborate a deep learning (DL) model based on OCT and OCT angiography (OCTA) for prediction of visual acuity (VA) loss in untreated LMHs.

Design: Multicentric retrospective observational study.

Participants: Patients aged >18 years diagnosed with idiopathic LMHs with availability of good quality OCT and OCTA acquisitions at baseline and a follow-up >2 years were recruited.

PUNCTATE INNER CHOROIDOPATHY FOLLOWING PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY FOR HIGH MYOPIC FULL THICKNESS MACULAR HOLE.

Purpose: To describe a case of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and secondary or epiphenomenon multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (EpiMEWDS) following surgery for high myopic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 57-year-old high myopic female was diagnosed with cataract and FTMH in the left eye.

Small-Incision new generation implantable miniature telescope surgical technique and patient outcomes.

Background: Various ocular implants were suggested as a means of enhancing vision in patients with advanced age related macular degeneration. Recently, a new generation of implantable telescopes has been released. The purpose of this study is to report the surgical technique of implantation along with patient outcomes.

Neurotrophic Keratopathy after wide retinal endolaser and postoperative Ketorolac eye drops: A case series.

Purpose: We report a series of 5 cases, happened in a period of 5 months, who developed neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and retinal endolaser for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In our several decennary experience of surgical center predominantly based on vitreoretinal surgery, we had rare cases of postoperative NK. These recent cases of post-surgical NK happened contextually to our change of postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) drops, based on Ketorolac Tromethamine 0.
