Anatomical and Functional Outcomes of Relaxing Parafoveal Nasal Retinotomy for Refractory Macular Hole Repair.

Purpose: This work aimed to assess postoperative outcomes associated with relaxing parafoveal nasal retinotomy for refractory macular hole repair.

Methods: This was a retrospective interventional study of patients with persistent or recurrent macular holes following 1 or more standard repair procedures with pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling. Patients received an additional pars plana vitrectomy and relaxing parafoveal nasal retinotomy, followed by fluid-air and air-gas exchange.

Fluocinolone acetonide (0.19 mg) intravitreal implant reduces treatment burden and improves practice resource utilisation for patients with diabetic macular oedema.

Objective: Patients with diabetic macular oedema (DME) are known to have significantly greater medical treatment burden than patients with non-DME. Frequent injections and office visits can have a substantial impact on patient adherence and quality of life. This analysis assesses the impact of the 0.
