DIFFERENT SURGICAL MODALITIES FOR MANAGEMENT OF PERSISTENT GLAUCOMA AFTER SILICONE OIL REMOVAL IN VITRECTOMIZED EYES: One Year Comparative Study.

Purpose: Aim of this study was to compare outcome of four different surgical modalities for management of persistent glaucoma after silicone oil removal in vitrectomized eyes.

Methods: This is a prospective comparative study, carried out on a cohort of 41 eyes (41 patients). Patients were randomly allocated to Group A (trabeculectomy), Group B (deep sclerectomy), Group C (Ahmed valve), or Group D (Ex-Press Minishunt).

Why Poor Vision Despite an Attached Retina following Primary Vitrectomy in Egyptian Patients?

Objective: To correlate findings on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) following primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: In this prospective, interventional, non-randomized case series, 71 eyes with RRD of intermediate severity underwent primary vitrectomy followed by SD-OCT one month later. Main outcome measures were inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction line and external limiting membrane (ELM) disruption.
