Ophthalmic Outcomes After Silicone Oil Removal.

To describe the ophthalmic outcomes and complications after silicone oil (SO) removal. This nonrandomized retrospective review comprised patients who had SO removal from January 2020 to December 2022. Data collected included patient demographics, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), initial tamponade, indication for SO placement, duration of SO in the eye, indication for SO removal, cataract progression, rates of retinal redetachment, cornea-related complications, additional surgical interventions, and other complications.

Extensively drug-resistant panophthalmitis from contaminated artificial tears.

is one of the common gram-negative organisms that cause severe invasive infections in different organ systems. has unique intrinsic mechanisms to develop antimicrobial resistance quickly, making it extremely difficult to treat. We report a case of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) panophthalmitis due to contaminated artificial tears.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Retinal Detachment Repair in Patients With Stickler Syndrome.

Background And Objective: To report the long-term anatomic and visual outcomes of patients with Stickler syndrome undergoing retinal detachment (RD) surgery.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series of patients with Stickler syndrome undergoing RD repair from 1999 to 2017 at the Long Island Vitreoretinal Consultants, New York. Retinal attachment status and visual acuity (VA) at 1-year and last follow-up were assessed.

Autosomal dominant pattern dystrophy: identification of a novel splice site mutation in the peripherin/RDS gene.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features of and identify the mutation responsible for an autosomal dominant pattern dystrophy occurring in a three-generation family.

Methods: Five affected family members underwent clinical examination and additional testing including intravenous fluorescein angiography where indicated. Mutation screening of the peripherin/RDS gene was performed.

Management of macular holes that develop after retinal detachment repair.

Purpose: To study the characteristics and management of macular holes that develop after prior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) repair.

Design: Retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series.

Methods: The setting was a clinical practice.
