Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists as a potential treatment option in persistent subretinal fluid following the repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose: To report the resolution of subretinal fluid persisting more than a year following retinal detachment surgery resolving with a short term course of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists use.

Observations: A 41 year-old, highly myopic male presented with a temporal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment involving the macula. The tear was treated with a radial sponge without subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage.

Burr-Assisted Peripheral Superficial Keratectomy for the Treatment of Persistent Symptomatic Peripheral Corneal Edema.

Purpose: To describe a simple technique of diamond burr-assisted superficial keratectomy for the treatment of peripheral corneal edema.

Cases Presentation: Two patients with persistent symptomatic peripheral corneal edema underwent superficial keratectomy with the use of a diamond ophthalmic burr. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated clinically as well as with anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap vs Complete Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Large Macular Holes in Nonposturing Surgery.

Purpose: This study compared anatomical and functional outcomes of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap (ILMF) technique with complete ILM peeling (ILMP) in nonposturing surgery for large, full-thickness macular holes (MHs).

Methods: This was a retrospective, comparative, single-surgeon study. Eyes with idiopathic large full-thickness MHs (minimum diameter > 400 μm) were included.

Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Purpose: This study aims to report on outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).

Methods: This study is a prospective, interventional, non-comparative case series. A total of 103 eyes from 88 patients with PACG underwent an ab interno trabeculotomy, using either a 5.
