Purpose: To evaluate retinal thickness changes of individual retinal layers using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) after uneventful cataract surgery over a 3-months period.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: 41 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery were included.
Purpose: The retina is supplied with blood through superficial and deep capillary systems. Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) is a relatively new terminology based on pathognomonic findings in the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A connection with various retinal vascular diseases has been described, which is indicative of an ischemic etiology.

- - The study investigates how vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHDs) are linked to changes in macular thickness after cataract surgery, tracking patients with optical coherence tomography (OCT) at multiple points post-operation.
- - Out of 111 eyes examined, 22.5% had VHDs at one week post-surgery, which significantly decreased over time, with a correlation found between VHDs and retinal thickness at one month.
- - The findings suggest that VHDs may lead to macular thickening due to possible inflammation from lens fragments, but their exact origin remains unclear.
Purpose: To derive a Delphi method-based consensus for the surgical management of Full Thickness Macular Hole (FTMH) and Lamellar Macular Hole (LMH).
Methods: 37 expert VR surgeons from 21 mainly European countries participated in Delphi method-based questionnaire for diagnosis and treatment of FTMHs and LMHs.
Results: A total of 36 items were rated in round 1 by 37 participants, of which 10 items achieved consensus: intraoperative verification of PVD; clinical superiority of OCT-based FTMH classification; practical ineffectiveness of ocriplasmin; circular 360° ILM peeling for small macular holes; use of regular surgical technique for the size of the hole in concomitant retinal detachment; performing complete vitrectomy; SF6 gas as preferred tamponade; cataract surgery if crystalline lens is mildly/moderately opaque; removal of both ILM and LHEP in LMH surgery.
Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate whether patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cooccurrent amblyopia are more likely to have diseases diagnosed on both the ipsilateral and the contralateral side in a large Austrian database.
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: Setting: Institutional practice.
