A comprehensive evaluation of efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) by analyzing changes in visual acuity (VA) and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) parameters. A comparative retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of all HBO-treated RAO patients in our department and comparing them with matched RAO patients who did not receive HBO treatment. All patients treated with HBO received treatment within 7 days of the onset of visual symptoms.

Comparative Evaluation of Visual Outcomes in Combined Cataract and Vitrectomy for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane with an Advanced or Conventional Intraocular Lens.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of new monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in comparison with conventional monofocal IOL in patients undergoing combined cataract and vitrectomy surgery for epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Methods: This prospective non-randomized comparative study included 65 eyes of 65 patients who underwent combined cataract and vitrectomy for ERM with implantation of advanced monofocal IOL (Eyhance ICB00, 33 patients) and standard monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZCB00, 32 patients). Monocular visual acuities were measured 6 months post-operatively, including corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity (CDVA, UCDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA).

Multifocal Electroretinography Changes over 12 Months after Resolution of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the changes in retinal function after the anatomical resolution of central serous chorioretinopathy by multifocal electroretinography.

Methods: Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with unilaterally resolved central serous chorioretinopathy were prospectively studied. Serial multifocal electroretinography examinations were performed at the initial visit for active central serous chorioretinopathy, the time of anatomical resolution (resolved central serous chorioretinopathy), and 3, 6, and 12 months after resolution.

Analysis of treatment response about low-dose (0.01%) atropine eye-drops in myopic children.

Introduction: Myopia usually commences during primary school and progresses until the mean age of 16 years. Topical low-dose (0.01%) atropine eye-drop appears to be safe and efficacious for myopia control in children.

Evaluation of Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Using Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography and Multifocal Electroretinography.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate functional and structural abnormalities in patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) with multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: This prospective observational study included 57 patients with unilateral CSC. Both eyes underwent mfERG and EDI-OCT.

Comparison of Scleral Buckling and Vitrectomy Using Wide Angle Viewing System for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

: To compare the surgical results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and scleral buckling (SB) using the same vitreoretinal viewing system for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) : The study was a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 52 eyes (52 patients) with uncomplicated RRD located in superior quadrants. Eyes with pseudophakia or complications were not included. Thirty-one eyes underwent PPV using a wide-angle viewing system (WAVS) and 21 eyes received SB using the same WAVS combined with a chandelier endoilluminator.

Choroidal Thickness Changes after Orthokeratology Lens Wearing in Young Adults with Myopia.

Introduction: Recently in South Korea, there are increasing number of young adults undergoing orthokeratology treatment for myopia control. They prefer orthokeratology treatment more than wearing spectacles or having a refractive surgery for several reasons. However, there is little research on the effect of orthokeratology treatment on choroids.

Effectiveness of Scleral Buckling with a Wide-Field Surgical Microscope and Chandelier Illumination in Retinal Detachment Repair.

Purpose: To assess treatment efficacy of scleral buckling surgery with wide-field surgical microscope and 27-gauge (G) chandelier illumination for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: This study is a retrospective chart review of 29 eyes in 29 patients with RRD who underwent scleral buckling surgery with a wide-field surgical microscope and 27-G chandelier illumination fiber inserted into the sclera at the pars plana. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.

Orbital Frontal Nerve Schwannoma-Distinctive Radiological Features.

Purpose: To review the radiological findings of frontal nerve schwannoma of the orbit and determine distinguishing imaging features.

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Methods: Setting: Single tertiary institution.

Acute pancreatitis complicating spontaneous acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B virus infection: case report and review of the literature.

Acute pancreatitis may complicate viral hepatitis B, as well as the other causes of viral hepatitis. There have been reports of acute pancreatitis complicating acute exacerbations of chronic hepatitis B virus infection, most of which were related to immunosuppressive treatment or organ transplantation. However, acute pancreatitis complicating spontaneous acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B virus infection is rare.
