CLINICAL AND STRUCTURAL IMPACT OF SUBMACULAR FLUID AFTER PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY REPAIR FOR RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.

Purpose: To assess the impact of submacular fluid (SMF) after pneumatic retinopexy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.

Methods: Retrospective review of consecutive patients treated with pneumatic retinopexy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. 387 eyes (374 patients) were included, of which 166 underwent optical coherence tomography imaging after successful pneumatic retinopexy.

Massive Delayed Hemorrhagic Choroidal Detachment and Giant Retinal Tear Detachment Following Scleral-Fixated Akreos IOL.

A 78-year-old woman underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and scleral fixation for a dislocated intraocular lens in the left eye under general anesthesia. She developed massive hemorrhagic choroidal detachment 1 day later. A giant retinal tear detachment and proliferative vitreoretinopathy was noted at postoperative Week 7 and repaired with choroidal drainage, 240° peripheral retinectomy, perfluorocarbon liquid, endolaser, and silicone oil.

PRESUMED INTRARETINAL TUBERCULOSIS: CASE REPORT WITH MULTIMODAL IMAGING INCLUDING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY.

Purpose: To report a case of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 61-year-old woman recently immigrated from China presented with round yellow-white retinal lesions in the left eye.

REACTIVE AMYLOID A PROTEIN AMYLOIDOSIS IN THE SETTING OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS MANIFESTING AS BILATERAL ORBITOPATHY AND CHOROIDOPATHY.

Purpose: To describe a case of amyloid A protein amyloidosis that produced an orbital inflammatory response with a novel presentation.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 24-year-old Caucasian women with a history of intravenous heroin use was hospitalized for tricuspid valve endocarditis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, as well as acute renal failure.

OCULAR INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH ELASTIC EXERCISE BANDS.

Purpose: To discuss the mechanism of injury and characterize the clinical features of ocular trauma associated with elastic cord exercise equipment band injuries in a consecutive series of patients seen at a single vitreoretinal surgery practice.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients who were treated for blunt trauma from 2013 to 2020 at a single vitreoretinal practice.

Results: Thirteen eyes from 11 patients met the inclusion criteria of possessing ocular trauma secondary to recoil from exercise bands.

RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL LESIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A SPORADIC CASE OF FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS.

Purpose: To report a sporadic case of a familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) discovered in a patient with bilateral retinal pigment epithelial lesions.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 30-year-old Asian woman presented for evaluation of bilateral pigmented lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium.

Submacular choroiditis in common variable immunodeficiency associated with a pathogenic mutation in the tumor necrosis factor gene.

Purpose: To report on a case of submacular choroiditis in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID).

Observations: An 80-year-old man was referred with a diagnosis of a central retinal vein occlusion with CME and later developed intraocular inflammation. History was notable for recurrent bacterial infections and myelodysplastic syndrome known to be due to CVID.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Retinopathy in an Adult.

A man developed vision loss and bilateral subhyaloid, outer plexiform, and subretinal hemorrhages after 2 minutes of chest compressions. Several potential mechanisms, including venous transmission of pressure and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), could explain these findings.

Monovision LASIK in emmetropic presbyopic patients.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) monovision correction in presbyopic emmetropic patients.

Methods: A retrospective review of 294 patients who underwent LASIK for monovision was conducted. All patients had preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity in each eye of 20/25 or better in both eyes and underwent primary LASIK treatment in one eye with a near target; 82 patients underwent surgery in the distant eye for hypermetropia.

Bacterial Keratitis: Isolated Organisms and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in San Francisco.

Purpose: Understanding the spectrum of pathogens in a given geographic region is important when deciding on empiric antibiotic therapy. In this study, we evaluate the spectrum of bacterial organisms cultured from corneal samples and their antibiotic sensitivities to guide initial treatment of keratitis.

Methods: We performed a retrospective case review of cultures from suspected infectious keratitis cases at the Francis I.

Orbital fracture repair outcomes with preformed titanium mesh implants and comparison to porous polyethylene coated titanium sheets.

Background: Restoration of orbital volume after internal orbital fractures can prevent enophthalmos. A variety of allografts are commonly used including titanium mesh with and without porous polyethylene coating. Some controversy exists over the use of uncoated titanium mesh in the orbit.

Virtual Fitting, Selection, and Cutting of Preformed Anatomic Orbital Implants.

Purpose: To evaluate the usage of preoperative digital anatomic implant evaluation in internal orbital fractures.

Methods: An IRB-approved review of cases of orbital fracture repair was conducted and cases where digital implant modeling was performed were selected for comprehensive review. The surgical time of these cases was also compared with surgeon and implant matched controls.

Accuracy of the Retinomax K-plus3 in measuring refractive error in a pediatric population.

Purpose: To compare the Retinomax K-plus3 handheld autorefractor to a retinscopically based refraction performed by a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Methods: The medical records of 311 children aged 5 months to 17 years who underwent cycloplegic refraction by both autorefractor and a pediatric ophthalmologist on the same day were retrospectively reviewed. Spherical equivalent, vector dioptric distance (VDD) values, and t tests were performed for each metric with an accompanying age-group comparison (<5 years, 5-7 years, 8-10 years, and ≥11 years).

Improved perfusion and intraretinal neovascularization after intravitreal bevacizumab injection in central vein occlusion.

Purpose: To report a case of intraretinal neovascularization in a patient with ischemic central venous occlusion.

Methods: Case report.

Results: An 18-year-old white man presented with painless decreased vision in the right eye.
