Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of posterior capsulotomy by analyzing the long-term visual outcomes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD), who underwent combined phaco-vitrectomy with or without primary posterior capsulotomy.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal cohort analysis was performed by using data of rhegmatogenous RD patients undergoing combined phaco-vitrectomy. Patients were divided into two groups; Group A (68 eyes of 68 patients) with capsulotomy, and Group B (39 eyes of 39 patients) without capsulotomy.
Purpose: To evaluate the changes of axial length (AXL) in eyes with unilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after resolution of serous retinal detachment.
Methods: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral CSC were included in this study. The changes of AXL according to serous retinal detachment were examined.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of a primary core vitrectomy technique for combined phacovitrectomy in eyes showing a poor red reflex because of dense vitreous hemorrhage before cataract surgery.
Methods: A total of 156 eyes from 156 patients, who underwent combined phacovitrectomy because of cataract and dense vitreous hemorrhage, and who were followed up for at least 6 months were included. The patients were divided into a primary phacoemulsification group (Group A, 80 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification first followed by total vitrectomy and a primary vitrectomy group (Group B, 76 eyes) who underwent core vitrectomy first followed by cataract surgery and followed by total vitrectomy.
Purpose: To investigate the central macular thickness (CMT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in eyes with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease associated with optic disc swelling and serous retinal detachment through a 24-month follow-up period.
Methods: We prospectively investigated 28 eyes of 14 treatment-naïve patients with acute VKH disease associated with optic disc swelling and serous retinal detachment and 30 eyes of 15 normal individuals to compare changes in the CMT and average RNFL thickness.
Results: The CMT was significantly lower in the eyes of the VKH group at 12 and 24 months.

Purpose: To analyze the repeatability of thickness measurements of the central macula, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL), and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) before and after treatment of macular edema in branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
Methods: We analyzed patients with BRVO who visited our retinal clinic. The repeatability of the thickness measurements were compared using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (COV) of affected versus normal fellow eyes.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of refractive power on macular thickness measurements by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Subjects And Methods: For this prospective cohort study, a total of 50 eyes from 50 normal subjects with no systemic or ocular disease and no history of ocular surgery were studied from February 2014 to May 2014. We used soft contact lenses with a wide range of diopters to change the refractive power.
Purpose: To analyze longitudinal changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) using optical coherence tomography.
Methods: The authors prospectively analyzed 20 eyes in 20 patients diagnosed with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and followed for more than 1 year. The RNFL thickness of the normal and occluded eyes was measured at the time of diagnosis and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis) with verteporfin photodynamic therapy for patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
Methods: Retrospective interventional case series. Seventeen eyes of 17 patients with symptomatic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy who received 3 monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections with photodynamic therapy were retrospectively reviewed.
