Postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis is an infection of the eye's internal tissues resulting from an intraocular procedure. The condition is uncommon but can cause severe and irreversible impairment of sight. Standard management involves administration of antibiotics with or without subsequent removal of the infected vitreous gel by vitrectomy surgery.

Importance: There are reported benefits from vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema (DME); however, data precede anti-vascular endothelial growth therapy (VEGF) therapy, supporting a need to assess the current role of vitrectomy.

Objective: To determine rates of recruitment and efficacy outcomes of vitrectomy plus internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling adjunctive to treat-and-extend (T&E) anti-VEGF injections for diabetic macular edema (DME).

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a single-masked, multicenter randomized clinical trial at 21 sites in the United Kingdom from June 2018 to January 2021, evaluating single eyes of treatment-naive patients with symptomatic vision loss from DME for less than 1 year.

Purpose: Long-term study to evaluate the clinical and surgical outcomes of scleral buckle (SB) surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at a large tertiary eye center.

Methods: Noncomparative, retrospective case series of 589 eyes of 569 patients with primary RRD who underwent SB surgery between 2004 and 2022 with a median follow-up of 6 months. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, surgical outcomes, complications, and classification of RRD.

Background: Endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. The condition is characterised by purulent inflammation of the intraocular fluids caused by an infective agent. In exogenous endophthalmitis, the infective agent is foreign and typically introduced into the eye through intraocular surgery or open globe trauma.

. Subretinal prostheses electrically stimulate the residual inner retinal neurons to partially restore vision. We investigated the changes in neurosensory macular structures and it is thickness associated with subretinal implantation in geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Objective: Retinitis pigmentosa-related retinal detachment (RPRD) is rare, and the full spectrum of retinal complications is not well defined. To describe the types of retinal detachment in patients with retinitis pigmentosa and the surgical outcomes of RPRD.

Methods: This is a non-comparative, retrospective case series.

Objectives: To present the visual acuity (VA) results and complication rates following Artisan intraocular lens (IOL) insertion in vitrectomised eyes.

Methods: Outcome data were collected for all vitrectomised patients who had undergone Artisan IOL insertion between January 2014 and May 2019 at Moorfields Eye Hospital. All those with follow-up greater than 2 months were included in the analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical technique for subretinal implantation of two sizes of PRIMA photovoltaic wireless microchip in two animal models, and refine these surgical procedures for human trials.

Methods: Cats and Macaca fascicularis primates with healthy retina underwent vitrectomy surgery and were implanted with subretinal wireless photovoltaic microchip at the macula/central retina. The 1.

Background/aims: To analyse the complications and outcomes of vitrectomy surgery for endophthalmitis.

Methods: This was a retrospective case series. All cases that underwent 23-gauge vitrectomy surgery for endophthalmitis at a tertiary centre between 1 February 2013 and 1 February 2018 were included.

Purpose: Loss of photoreceptors in atrophic age-related macular degeneration results in severe visual impairment, although some peripheral vision is retained. To restore central vision without compromising the residual peripheral field, we developed a wireless photovoltaic retinal implant (PRIMA; Pixium Vision, Paris, France) in which pixels convert images projected from video glasses using near-infrared light into electric current to stimulate the nearby inner retinal neurons.

Design: We carried out a first-in-human clinical trial to test the safety and efficacy of the prosthesis in patients with geographic atrophy (ClinicalTrials.

Retinal prostheses are designed to restore a basic sense of sight to people with profound vision loss. They require a relatively intact posterior visual pathway (optic nerve, lateral geniculate nucleus and visual cortex). Retinal implants are options for people with severe stages of retinal degenerative disease such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.

Aims: To report anatomical and functional outcomes in patients with proliferative sickle retinopathy (PSR) who underwent 23-gauge (23G) and 20-gauge (20G) vitrectomy.

Methods: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients who underwent vitreoretinal intervention for complications of PSR between April 2009 and February 2015. Operations were performed at a tertiary referral centre, Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Purpose: To evaluate the real world clinical outcomes of intravitreal ocriplasmin in patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT) with and without full thickness macular holes (FTMH) treated according to NICE guidance.

Methods: Retrospective observational case series of 25 patients treated with a single intravitreal ocriplasmin injection between December 2013 and December 2015. Best corrected visual acuity and optical coherence tomography exams were performed to determine visual outcomes and anatomical VMT release and FTMH closure over time.

Background: With the introduction of sutureless 23-gauge (23G) vitrectomy, the risks for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and the need for day 1 review of IOP are less certain.

Aims: To assess current practice for postoperative review in the vitreoretinal service at a large tertiary referral centre; to assess whether day 1 review detected complications altering patient management; to identify risk factors for IOP spikes postvitrectomy.

Methods: Retrospective, consecutive case note review of all patients undergoing 23G vitrectomy at the study institution between April and June 2013.

Purpose: To explore the spatial distribution of central visual field loss in untreated proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and to quantify the effect of medium-pulse Optos-guided 20-millisecond Pascal laser treatment on the central field.

Methods: Visual field data (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm 24-2) from 99 eyes (66 patients) with treatment-naive PDR were used to train a self-organizing map (SOM) that classified the defects into nine patterns. Twenty-eight eyes of 23 patients treated with 20-millisecond Pascal retinal laser photocoagulation underwent Optos widefield fundus fluorescein angiography (WF-FFA) at baseline and 3 months after treatment.
