Augmented Posterior Hyaloid Adhesion Associated With Retinal Detachment After Macular Hole Repair.

Background And Objective: There remains a low but intractable risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after surgical repair of macular holes (MHs). The purpose of this study is to identify potential causes for RRDs after MH surgery.

Patients And Methods: The authors retrospectively examined a single surgeon series of stage 3 MH repair surgeries during a 5-year period.

Current Practice Patterns and Opinions on the Management of Recent-Onset or Chronic Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus of Zoster Eye Disease Study Investigators.

Purpose: To determine practices and opinions among study investigators in the Zoster Eye Disease Study (ZEDS) regarding suppressive valacyclovir treatment for recent-onset and chronic herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).

Methods: An Internet-based survey was distributed to 170 ZEDS study investigators with questions regarding treatment practices for stromal keratitis in HZO and opinions regarding the efficacy of prolonged antiviral prophylaxis.

Results: The response rate was 72.

"Eye Dropping"-A Case Report of Transconjunctival Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Drug Abuse.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral toxic corneal and conjunctival epitheliopathy secondary to administration of filter paper impregnated with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the inferior conjunctival fornices.

Methods: This is a single case report of an 18-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with acute, bilateral eye pain and redness of 24 hours. The patient admitted to placing folded strips of blotting paper impregnated with LSD into the inferior fornices of his eyes the previous night.

Macular Effects of Silicone Oil Tamponade: Optical Coherence Tomography Findings During and After Silicone Oil Removal.

Objective: To investigate retinal morphologic changes during silicone oil tamponade and after its removal using spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) imaging.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of 12 patients who underwent silicone oil tamponade for repair of retinal detachments. Macular OCT scans and volumetric thickness maps were examined qualitatively and quantitatively.

Structural and functional implications of severe foveal dystopia in epiretinal membranes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the functional and structural correlates of severe foveal dystopia in patients with epiretinal membranes.

Methods: For this retrospective study of 29 eyes with epiretinal membrane, we identified 7 eyes that had severe foveal dystopia (defined as fovea located >200 μm from its expected location) and followed the direction and rate of foveal movement pre- and postoperatively.

Results: Epiretinal membrane traction caused the fovea to move preoperatively at a rate of 275 μm/month from its anatomical location in 2 patients.
