Background: Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) revolutionized retinal detachment (RD) management in vitreoretinal surgery but introduced unique risks. Complications like subretinal migration are documented, yet specific warnings for macular hole (MH) formation during PFCL injection are lacking.
Case Presentation: In a rhegmatogenous RD case, a localized retinal dimpling during PFCL jet stream injection, preceded subsequent complications-an immediate MH and subretinal PFCL migration.
Background: Performing a surgical task subjects the surgeon to multitudinal stressors, especially with the newer 3D technology. The quantum of cognitive workload using this modern surgical system in comparison to the Conventional microscope system remains unexplored. We evaluate the surgeon's cognitive workload and the surgical outcomes of macular hole(MH) surgery performed on a 3D versus a Conventional microscope operating system.

Observations: A 64-year-old female with bilateral recalcitrant PCME was treated with one dose of intravitreal ozurdex implant and triamcinolone acetonide each in both the eyes, with an equivocal response. On switching to IVI brolucizumab in the right eye (OD), the patient showed significant improvement in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with a notable reduction in the intraretinal fluid (IRF) and central subfield thickness (CST) in both the eyes at one month.
Background: Coats' disease, described by George Coats in the early 1900s, is an idiopathic unilateral retinal vascular abnormality with exudation occurring in young males. It is characterized by retinal telangiectasia with intraretinal or subretinal exudation. Coats' disease is mostly diagnosed in the first to the second decade of life, with a common presentation of leukocoria.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study of 37 eyes of 37 patients undergoing immediate PPV for posteriorly dislocated lens fragments from 2015 to 2021. The primary outcome measure was changes in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
