Purpose: To report on a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14) and macular dystrophy with identification of a novel variant.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 63-year-old female with molecularly confirmed SCA14 presented with symmetric pigmentary disturbances in a perifoveal distribution resembling a pattern macular dystrophy.
To determine the anatomic and visual outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy for uncomplicated, primary macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. This retrospective chart review comprised 129 patients with uncomplicated, primary macula-off RRD presenting between January 1, 2016, and May 31, 2021. Thirty-six patients (27.

Methods: We performed a retrospective interventional case series on 302 eyes undergoing phacovitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair between November 1, 2016, and February 2, 2019, in Edmonton, Canada. Primary outcomes included single surgery retinal reattachment rate and anterior segment complications.
Objective: To report clinical features and visual outcomes following eyelet fractures of scleral-sutured enVista MX60 (Bausch + Lomb) intraocular lenses (IOL).
Design: Retrospective, multi-center, multi-surgeon, observational case series.
Methods: Study Population: Patients with scleral-sutured enVista MX60 IOLs that experienced either an intraoperative or post-operative eyelet fracture associated with dislocation or subluxation.
Purpose: Pain associated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) can adversely affect the number and quality of retinal burns delivered and subsequently increase the number of treatment sessions required to achieve regression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We assessed comfort in patients undergoing treatment with yellow (577 nm) vs. green (532 nm) PRP for PDR.

Methods: Retrospective case report.
Results: A 57-year-old male with hypertension presented with complaints of bilateral blurred central vision and bilateral hypertensive retinopathy with cotton-wool spots.
Purpose Of Review: The following review describes the recent evidence regarding the effect of cataract surgery on age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Recent Findings: For patients with both visually significant cataracts and AMD, recent evidence supports the role of cataract surgery with reports demonstrating improved visual acuity, absence of significant disease progression, and improved quality of life.
Summary: Recent evidence does not find cataract surgery to cause or worsen AMD.
Purpose: To describe two cases of vasculitis: one hemorrhagic and one nonhemorrhagic after uncomplicated cataract surgery with intracameral vancomycin.
Methods: Retrospective case series.
Results: A 74-year-old female and a 54-year-old female developed severe visual loss within 2 weeks of uncomplicated cataract surgery with intracameral vancomycin.
