Recurrent retinal detachment in Stickler Syndrome.

Objective: To assess clinical factors leading to recurrent retinal detachment (RD) and characteristics of recurrence in patients with Stickler Syndrome.

Methods: Retrospective case series study of patients with clinical diagnosis of Stickler Syndrome who underwent rhegmatogenous RD repair. Recurrent RD after initial surgery was categorized as "early" if the recurrence was within 1 year or "late" if greater than 1 year.

Automated diagnosis of plus disease in retinopathy of prematurity using quantification of vessels characteristics.

The condition known as Plus disease is distinguished by atypical alterations in the retinal vasculature of neonates born prematurely. It has been demonstrated that the diagnosis of Plus disease is subjective and qualitative in nature. The utilization of quantitative methods and computer-based image analysis to enhance the objectivity of Plus disease diagnosis has been extensively established in the literature.

Clinical sign and symptom of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma short-time after retinal reattachment surgery: a case report.

Purpose: To describe a case of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL), initially presented after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for total RRD with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the right eye. Ten months after silicon oil removal, the patient presented with weakened vision, and multiple small yellow sub-retinal elevations was observed in fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Transscleral vs transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation for the treatment of zone II type 1 retinopathy of prematurity: Anatomical and refractive outcomes.

Purpose: To compare the anatomical and refractive outcomes of transscleral diode versus transpupillary laser photocoagulation for the treatment of zone II type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: In this prospective comparative interventional case series, infants with type 1 ROP in zone II were assigned to either transpupillary or transscleral laser based on the surgeons' expertise area. The rate of regression, need for retreatment, and structural and biometric outcomes at month 6 were evaluated and compared between the two treatment groups.
