Objective: To assess the functional and surgical long-term outcomes following epiretinal membrane surgery.
Study Design: Case series.
Place And Duration Of Study: Layton Rahmatulla Benevolent Trust Tertiary Care Eye Hospital, Karachi, from January 2016 to December 2020.
Objective: To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes of treating chronic persistent large macular hole by macular hole hydrodissection technique in a tertiary eye care hospital.
Methods: This interventional case series study was conducted in the Vitreoretinal department of LRBT Tertiary Teaching Eye Hospital, Karachi, from October 2017 to March 2018, with follow-ups till February 2019. The study included eighteen cases of chronic (symptoms of loss of central vision ≥ 2years), persistent (previously failed macular hole surgery), large (aperture diameter of ≥ 400µm) macular hole.
Objective: To compare the reliability of Bruch Membrane Opening-Minimum Rim Width (BMO-MRW) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) with Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) in myopic patients.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place And Duration Of Study: LRBT Free Base Eye Hospital, Karachi, from May 2019 to July 2020.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of macular hole index (MHI) as a predicting factor of visual outcome after full thickness macular hole surgery.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at LRBT Free Base Eye Hospital, Karachi from January 2018 to March 2019. Total 45 eyes of 45 patients with full thickness macular hole (FTMH) underwent preoperative Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) assessment with logMar chart and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning, with measurement of base diameter and macular hole height.
