Introduction: Involutional ptosis repair is the signature procedure of Oculoplastic surgeons, with significant variation in approach. We aimed to assess the surgical approach currently used by BOPSS members for routine involutional ptosis repair.

Methods: A prospective 7-question survey was carried out of BOPSS members, assessing for prevalence of anterior- versus posterior-approach, bilateral simultaneous versus staged surgery, and approach to clinical photography.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and outcomes of four different surgical techniques for treating large idiopathic full-thickness macular holes in the eye.
  • The researchers analyzed data from 129 eyes over a period ranging from January 2018 to October 2022, finding a general anatomical success rate of 81%, although the standard internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel technique had significantly lower success at 59%.
  • Results showed that the pedicle transposition technique not only led to better visual recovery (27 ETDRS letters gained) compared to the free flap technique (12 letters gained) but also resulted in superior restoration of eye microstructure at both 3 and 6 months post-surgery.

The authors report a case of unilateral optic neuritis along with secondary retinal venous stasis in a patient diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis. Patient presented with diminished visual acuity, colour perception and Marcus Gunn pupillary response, pointing towards optic nerve involvement. Associated findings of disc edema, dilated and tortuous veins, along with hemorrhages on disc and superotemporal quadrant made diagnosis of retinal venous stasis secondary to optic neuritis imperative.
