COMPARISON OF SCLERAL FIXATION OF INTRAOCULAR LENS: Sutureless Intrascleral Fixation Versus Conventional Sutured Scleral Fixation.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of sutured scleral and sutureless intrascleral fixations of the intraocular lens.

Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent sutureless intrascleral fixation (sutureless group) and the conventional sutured scleral fixation (sutured group) were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and the clinical outcomes of the two techniques were compared before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.

Clinical features of cytomegalovirus retinitis after solid organ transplantation versus hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the clinical features of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after solid organ transplantation (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to determine the poor prognostic factors.

Methods: Patients consulted to the ophthalmology department for CMV viremia after transplantation between March 2008 and February 2018 and followed for more than 6 months were analyzed. Medical records regarding demographic, serologic, and ocular characteristics were compared between the SOT and HSCT groups.

Epiretinal Proliferation Associated with Lamellar Hole or Macular Hole: Origin and Surgical Prognosis.

Purpose: To determine the origin of epiretinal proliferation (EP), a condition that is occasionally observed in lamellar hole and macular hole cases, and EP outcomes after vitrectomy.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational case review of 17 eyes with EP that underwent vitrectomy, EP dissection, and internal limiting membrane peeling between January 2013 and December 2016. Surgical specimens of EP tissue were successfully obtained from 5 cases and they were analyzed after immunohistochemical staining.

Correlation between Visual Function and Structural Characteristics of the Macula in Advanced Retinitis Pigmentosa.

We aimed to correlate the visual function and structural characteristics of the retina and choroid in advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients. A cross-sectional, retrospective review was conducted of medical records of 149 RP patients who reported visual field constriction on a central 30-2 Humphrey visual field chart. Using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography, central foveal thickness (CFT), ellipsoid zone (EZ) length, macular volume (MV), and submacular choroidal thickness (SMChT) were measured.

Analysis of quantitative correlations between microaneurysm, ischaemic index and new vessels in ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography images using automated software.

Background/aim: To analyse ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA) images of diabetic retinopathy using a novel software that automatically calculates microaneurysm (MA) and non-perfusion area.
