Purpose: To explore whether a patient's prior knowledge of the symptoms associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) relates to the visual outcome after treatment.
Methods: We performed a prospective survey study on 126 patients receiving treatment for primary RRD between March and July 2021.
Results: Thirty-seven per cent (n = 47) of patients responded that they were aware of the RRD symptoms prior to the detachment.
Article Synopsis
- * In the Netherlands, general practitioners typically do not consider acute floaters without accompanying symptoms like flashes or visual loss as an emergency requiring immediate referral to an eye specialist.
- * Patients experiencing acute floaters have a notable risk (14-23%) of having a retinal tear, especially if they have risk factors such as high myopia or a history of eye issues, highlighting the importance of timely ophthalmological evaluation.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and investigate the role of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) in acute endophthalmitis cases after cataract surgery.
Design: Retrospective, consecutive case series.
Participants: A total of 126 patients referred to a tertiary center from 2007 to 2015 for acute endophthalmitis after unilateral cataract surgery.

Purpose: To present a complication of compressive optic neuropathy caused by a swollen hydrogel explant and posteriorly displaced silicone encircling band.
Observations: A 72-year-old female patient presented with progressive visual loss and a tilted optic disc. Her medical history included a retinal detachment in 1993 that was treated with a hydrogel explant under a solid silicone encircling band.
Purpose: To describe the complications associated with hydrogel explants and to describe the indications, surgical technique, and risks involved in the removal of a hydrogel explant.
Design: Single-center, retrospective interventional case series.
Participants: Patients who underwent surgical removal of a symptomatic, swollen hydrogel explant.
