The efficacy of different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, and dexamethasone implant therapy in patients with serous retinal detachment caused by Irvine-Gass syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept (IVA), bevacizumab (IVB), ranibizumab (IVR), and dexamethasone implant (IVDI) in the treatment of serous retinal detachment (SRD) caused by Irvine-Gass syndrome (IGS).

Design: Retrospective cohort, comparative study.

Methods And Materials: The medical records of 128 eyes with no previous history of intravitreal agents in 128 IGS patients with SRD that received IVA, IVB, IVR, and IVDI monotherapy were retrospectively reviewed.

Efficacy of topical dexamethasone eye drops in preventing ocular inflammation and cystoid macular edema following uncomplicated cataract surgery with or without injection of a single dose perioperative subtenon triamcinolone acetonide.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical dexamethasone (DEX) eye drops in combination with a single perioperative subtenon triamcinolone acetonide (sTA) injection versus conventional topical DEX eye drops in the prevention of ocular inflammation and cystoid macular edema following cataract surgery.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of 245 eyes of 245 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery were analyzed in this retrospective controlled clinical study. Topical DEX eye drops were administered to 128 eyes routinely postoperatively, and 117 eyes were given a single dose of sTA (40 mg/ml) together with topical DEX eye drops for postoperative care.

Bilateral branch retinal vein occlusion following the diagnosis of mild coronavirus disease.

The aim of this case report is to present the case of a patient diagnosed as having coronavirus disease (COVID-19) who developed branch retinal vein occlusion in both eyes at different time points. A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of mild COVID-19 and was diagnosed as having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection after polymerase chain reaction testing. Two months after the diagnosis, branch retinal vein occlusion was found in his left eye on fundoscopic examination, with a visual acuity of 20/100.

Comparison of long-term results of trabeculectomy and phacotrabeculectomy in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and primary open-angle glaucoma: a single-center study.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term surgical success and complications in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) after trabeculectomy or phacotrabeculectomy.

Methods: 96 PEXG eyes and 114 POAG eyes who underwent primary trabeculectomy and phacotrabeculectomy were retrospectively evaluated considering intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of glaucoma medications, surgical success, and rate of complications. Two success criteria were used: Complete success comprised IOP of 5-18 mmHg and 20% reduction of baseline IOP without medication.

Correlation of Visual Recovery and Increased Ellipsoid Zone Reflectivity After Successful Macular Hole Surgery.

Objectives: To assess changes in reflectivity of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), ellipsoid zone (EZ), and external limiting membrane (ELM) on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images and the effects of reflectivity changes on visual acuity improvement after vitrectomy in macular hole patients.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 24 patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole closed after vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The "plot profile" function of the medical imaging software was used by a single masked physician to analyze RPE, EZ, and ELM reflectivity on OCT images at postoperative 1 month and 12 months.
