Purpose: Evaluate short-term intraoperator reproducibility of ultrasonographic measurements of choroidal nevi using 10- and 20-MHz probes, and the efficacy of the high-frequency probes for the diagnosis of choroidal nevi.

Methods: Diameters and thicknesses of choroidal nevi were measured using a 10-MHz probe and a high-frequency long focal length 20-MHz probe (Quantel Medical™). The first part of the study evaluated intraoperator reproducibility of measurements of choroidal nevi with 10- and 20-MHz probes and the second part of the study allowed the comparisons of the measurements of largest tumor diameter (LDT) of choroidal nevi of 40 patients between the 10- and 20-MHz probes.

Purpose: To compare the anatomical and functional results of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in highly myopic phakic or pseudophakic eyes.

Methods: This prospective 2-center study included 191 consecutive eyes (151 phakic and 40 pseudophakic eyes) from a prospective cohort of 835 patients (IRB #5891, between 2004 and 2008). Baseline and follow-up data were systematically recorded at presentation, 1 month, and 6 months or more after surgery.

Purpose: To compare the safety and efficacy of 20- and 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade B or less.

Methods: This comparative nested case-control study included 35 consecutive 23-gauge transconjunctival PPV cases matched (1:1) with 35 cases of 20-gauge PPV (from a prospective cohort of 1,150 patients) for the baseline visual acuity (VA), axial length, lens and macular status, the location and number of breaks, and PVR grade. All patients had complete PPV, cryotherapy, fluid-gas exchange, and a minimum follow-up of 6 months.
