Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists as a potential treatment option in persistent subretinal fluid following the repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose: To report the resolution of subretinal fluid persisting more than a year following retinal detachment surgery resolving with a short term course of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists use.

Observations: A 41 year-old, highly myopic male presented with a temporal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment involving the macula. The tear was treated with a radial sponge without subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage.

Burr-Assisted Peripheral Superficial Keratectomy for the Treatment of Persistent Symptomatic Peripheral Corneal Edema.

Purpose: To describe a simple technique of diamond burr-assisted superficial keratectomy for the treatment of peripheral corneal edema.

Cases Presentation: Two patients with persistent symptomatic peripheral corneal edema underwent superficial keratectomy with the use of a diamond ophthalmic burr. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated clinically as well as with anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap vs Complete Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Large Macular Holes in Nonposturing Surgery.

Purpose: This study compared anatomical and functional outcomes of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap (ILMF) technique with complete ILM peeling (ILMP) in nonposturing surgery for large, full-thickness macular holes (MHs).

Methods: This was a retrospective, comparative, single-surgeon study. Eyes with idiopathic large full-thickness MHs (minimum diameter > 400 μm) were included.

Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Purpose: This study aims to report on outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).

Methods: This study is a prospective, interventional, non-comparative case series. A total of 103 eyes from 88 patients with PACG underwent an ab interno trabeculotomy, using either a 5.

Can Extra Daytime Light Exposure Improve Well-Being and Sleep? A Pilot Study of Patients With Glaucoma.

Glaucoma damages retinal ganglion cells, including intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). These cells modulate various non-visual physiological and psychological functions which are modulated by light. In patients with glaucoma, we assessed the effect of daily bright light exposure (LE) on several melanopsin-dependent functions, such as the pupil constriction, circadian rest-activity cycles, sleep and subjective well-being including relaxation, alertness and mood.

Outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma: 24-month follow-up.

Aim: To report on outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in eyes with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG).

Methods: Prospective, interventional, non-comparative case series. A total of 103 eyes from 84 patients with PXG were enrolled to undergo a 360-degree ab interno trabeculotomy with gonioscopic assistance using either a 5.

Topographic changes simulating keratoconus in patients with irregular inferior epithelial thickening documented by anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To present six patients with keratoconus-like topographic changes due to inferior inhomogenous epithelial thickening, demonstrated by AS-OCT epithelium map.

Patients And Methods: We present twelve eyes of six patients evaluated in the refractive surgery consultation with Pentacam HR Scheimpflug rotating camera system, presenting topographical irregularities suggestive of keratoconus. Slit-lamp examination, best-corrected visual acuity, Scheimpflug tomography and anterior segment optical coherence tomography epithelium map (Optovue ) were conducted and analyzed.

Baerveldt shunt surgery versus combined Baerveldt shunt and phacoemulsification: a prospective comparative study.

Aim: To examine the efficacy and safety of Baerveldt tube (BT) implantation compared with combined phacoemulsification and Baerveldt tube (PBT) implantation in patients with refractory glaucoma.

Methods: Seventy-six eyes of 76 patients were enrolled, 38 pseudophakic eyes underwent BT implantation alone and 38 phakic eyes underwent the BT implantation combined with phacoemulsification. Groups were matched for preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and number of glaucoma medications.
