Purpose: To describe the postoperative outcomes of eyes with primary full-thickness macular holes (MH) greater than 650 μm.
Design: Retrospective, monocentric, consecutive case series.
Participants: Patients with primary MH operated at Lariboisière Hospital, Paris, France.
Purpose: To describe the retinal and vitreous changes in eyes showing myopic macular schisis (MMS) improvement when vitrectomy was not performed and identify triggering factors.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Subjects: Patients with nonoperated MMS.
Retinal detachment (RD) occurs when the neurosensory retina, the neurovascular tissue responsible for phototransduction, is separated from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Given the importance of the RPE for optimal retinal function, RD invariably leads to decreased vision. There are three main types of RD: rhegmatogenous, tractional and exudative (also termed serous) RD.

Design: Monocentric retrospective observational case series.
Subjects: The files of consecutive patients with MFS who underwent vitreoretinal surgery and were followed postoperatively for at least 6 months were reviewed.
Purpose: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) represents a spectrum of disorders associated with Epstein Barr Virus infection in up to 80% of cases in the setting of pharmacologic immunosuppression following hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation. Ocular involvement is a rare finding in PTLD.
Observation: We report the case of a 38-year-old man who presented with unilateral retinal infiltrates as first manifestation of PTLD relapse.
Aim: To analyse the choroidal thickness (CT) and vessel pattern of myopic patients with dome-shaped macula (DSM) and their association with the DSM axis and serous retinal detachment (SRD).
Methods: Retrospective study. The CT and vessel pattern were assessed on optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-angiography and ultra-wide-field photography.
Purpose: The surgical indication for lamellar macular holes (LMH) is controversial due to a misclassification of different macular diseases. A consensus based on an optical coherence tomography (OCT) definition has recently been suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical outcomes of patients with LMH selected based on this OCT-based consensus definition.

Methods: The records of consecutive patients operated for primary ERM over a 12-month period were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative imaging included color fundus photography (CFP), En Face spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), 45° infrared- (IR) and blue-reflectance (BR) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
Aims: To analyse the prevalence and postoperative outcomes of a particular form of epiretinal membrane (ERM) with foveoschisis-like stretched hyporeflective spaces in emmetropic eyes.
Methods: A retrospective study of all consecutive eyes operated for primary ERM over a 46-month period was conducted. The presence of foveoschisis-like stretched hyporeflective spaces was assessed on the preoperative optical coherence tomography B-scan in all eyes.
Background: To compare different clinical and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) features of high myopic eyes with Stickler syndrome (STL) with matched controls.
Methods: Patients with genetically confirmed STL with axial length ≥ 26 mm and controls matched for axial length were included. The following data were obtained from SD-OCT scans and fundus photography: choroidal and retinal thickness (respectively, CT and RT), peripapillary atrophy area (PAA), presence of posterior staphyloma (PS).
Purpose: To determine the mechanism behind macular bulge height increase in eyes with dome-shaped macula (DSM).
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Methods: Eyes presenting with DSM followed up for a minimum of 1 year were examined using ocular biometry and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography at baseline and at end of follow-up.
Purpose: To assess preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of foveal-splitting retinal detachment (RD) and determine postoperative outcomes.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent RD surgery over a 1-year period were included. Patients diagnosed with a detachment extending to the edge of the fovea on fundus examination (i.
Purpose: To assess topographic variations of choroidal thickness (CT) in the fovea and beyond in healthy eyes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included healthy subjects ≤ 55 years of age with axial lengths (22-26 mm) and refractive error margins (-4D, +4D) in normal ranges. Images were acquired using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Purpose: To determine the rate of macular holes (MH) occurring in the fellow eyes of eyes with MH depending on the vitreomacular interface at baseline.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients operated on for idiopathic MH, with persistent vitreofoveal attachment in the fellow eye assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Follow-up lasted 6 months or more, and the main outcome was the occurrence of an MH.
Purpose: To determine the preoperative factors influencing visual recovery after vitrectomy for myopic foveoschisis.
Methods: Sixty-six eyes of 65 consecutive patients operated on for myopic foveoschisis were retrospectively included. All eyes underwent a preoperative ocular examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography with central foveal thickness measurement and foveal status classification: simple foveoschisis, foveal detachment, or macular hole.
Purpose: To report the feasibility and information provided by intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) during vitreomacular surgery in highly myopic eyes.
Methods: Retrospective observational case series on consecutive highly myopic eyes that underwent vitreomacular surgery with iOCT for epiretinal membrane (ERM), macular hole, and myopic foveoschisis. The main outcome was the qualitative and quantitative assessment of retinal changes: detection of persistent epiretinal structures, new openings, central macular thickness, and macular hole diameters after each step of the surgical procedure.
Purpose: To study the relationship between the size of primary full-thickness macular hole (MH) and the vitreomacular attachment status.
Design: Single-centre retrospective observational case series.
Methods: The records of 100 consecutive eyes operated for primary full-thickness MH were retrospectively reviewed.
Aims: In longstanding diabetic macular oedema (DME) or retinal vein occlusion (RVO), capillary macroaneurysms may develop. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) has been shown to optimise their detection. Here, we report the anatomical and functional outcome of the elective photocoagulation of capillary macroaneurysms.

Methods: Monocentric retrospective observational case series of consecutive highly myopic patients whose eyes underwent 25 G 3-port pars plana vitrectomy between 2009 and 2012. Patients were operated on for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, macular hole with retinal detachment, myopic foveoschisis, and myopic macular hole.
Purpose: To analyze optical coherence tomography angiography images of retinal capillary perfusion in incomplete central retinal artery occlusion.
Methods: Case report of a 63-year-old male white patient with transient vision loss in the left eye related to central retinal artery occlusion, secondary to left internal carotid thrombosis. Optical coherence tomography angiography images were captured with Angiovue (Optovue, Inc.
Purpose: To report atypical ophthalmologic manifestations and complications of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).
Methods: Patients with isolated ophthalmologic involvement of IgG4-RD other than lacrimal or orbital infiltration seen between 2009 and 2011 in a single tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed and their clinical and histological features, treatment, and prognosis were studied.
Case Reports: Two patients (mean age 56.
