Purpose: To investigate cases exhibiting overlapping features of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE) and to explore potential associations between these developmental ocular anomalies.
Methods: This retrospective, descriptive case series included 9 eyes of 8 patients aged 0-7 years with shared clinical features of PFV and CHRRPE. Diagnoses were established through clinical examination and intraoperative findings.
Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of supra-choroidal (SC) Iluvien in the management of chronic diabetic macular edema (DME).
Methods: A retrospective interventional non-comparative consecutive case series including patients with chronic DME who received an SC Iluvien implant. All patients had persistent central macular thickness (CMT) ≥ 300µ after previous treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents or laser photocoagulation.
X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an X-linked inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by mild-to-severe visual impairment, splitting of the retinal layers, and a reduction in the dark-adapted b-wave amplitude on the electroretinogram. Typical clinical features include macular and peripheral schisis. Relatively common features reported include rhegmatogenous or tractional retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal pigment epithelial changes, vitreous veils, and various retinal vascular abnormalities with or without exudation.

Methods: A prospective interventional non-comparative consecutive case series including patients with surgically naïve large FTMH whether primary or secondary. All macular holes were > 400 µm.
Purpose: To report outcomes of pediatric patients with combined hamartoma of the retina and the retina pigment epithelium followed up conservatively or after pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 62 eyes of 59 pediatric patients with combined hamartoma of the retina and the retina pigment epithelium from 13 different international centers with an average age of 7.7 ± 4.
Catheter-guided suprachoroidal buckling of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments secondary to peripheral retinal breaks.

January 2017
Purpose: To evaluate functional and anatomic outcomes of eyes undergoing suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) using a specially designed catheter for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) secondary to peripheral retinal breaks.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 62 eyes of 62 patients. Subjects underwent SCB for the management of RRD secondary to single or multiple retinal breaks.
Purpose: To evaluate functional and anatomical outcomes of eyes undergoing suprachoroidal buckling for the management of peripheral retinal breaks in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 41 eyes of 41 patients undergoing suprachoroidal buckling for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to single or multiple retinal breaks. Suprachoroidal indentation was achieved through the introduction of filler material using a 23-gauge (23-G) olive-tipped, suprachoroidal cannula.
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of suprachoroidal buckling procedure using a suprachoroidal catheter, or cannula, as a new approach to treating different forms of retinal detachment, including myopic traction maculopathy, myopic macular holes, and peripheral retinal breaks by creating a suprachoroidal indentation (buckling effect) using a suprachoroidal filler.
Methods: We used specially designed devices, guided in the suprachoroidal space to reach the target space (retinal tear). Then we injected a suprachoroidal filler (long-lasting hyaluronic acid) to indent the choroid creating a suprachoroidal buckle to close retinal tears and support the retina.
The authors herein report the feasibility of suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) procedure as a new approach for treating different forms of retinal detachment (RD) by creating suprachoroidal indentation (buckling effect). With this technique, specially designed devices, i.e.

Methods: A newly developed supra choroidal catheter was used to deliver stabilized, cross-linked, long-acting hyaluronic acid as a filler in the supra choroidal space in the area of the staphyloma forming a choroidal indenting effect. Before the injection, pars plana vitrectomy was performed without internal limiting membrane peeling to avoid the risk of break of the roof of foveal detachment in case of foveoschisis.
Purpose: To assess anatomic and visual outcome following vitrectomy for stage 4B retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after 3 years follow-up.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 56 eyes (46 infants) with stage 4B ROP-related retinal detachment. Eyes underwent either lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) or combined lensectomy and vitrectomy (LV).
