Purpose: To investigate and compare the anatomic and functional outcomes of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (CASB) surgery using contact versus non-contact lens-based wide-angle viewing systems (WAVSs) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study evaluating the anatomic (reattachment rate) and visual acuity (VA) outcomes at 6 months post-CASB for primary RRD.
Results: Forty-seven RRD patients underwent CASB with a non-contact WAVS (Group C1) and 90 with a contact lens WAVS (Group C2).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate etiologies, management, and outcomes of patients with giant retinal tears (GRTs) undergoing primary surgery at a tertiary referral center.
Methods: This was a retrospective, consecutive case series of 94 patients with at least 3 months follow-up after silicone oil removal (SOR). Fifty-seven eyes (60.

We report a case of bilateral progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome with CD4 count 50 cells/μL. He was treated with standard intravenous and intravitreal antivirals but ultimately developed complications such as retinal detachment and epiretinal membrane. His vision was preserved with early pars plana vitrectomy.

Methods: Prospective interventional study, N = 20. All cases underwent complete ophthalmic examination, including determination of Snellen best-corrected visual acuity, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and MP3 for measuring retinal sensitivity.

Background And Objectives: To analyze the panorama optical coherence tomography angiography (P-OCTA) characteristics of serpiginous-like choroiditis (SLC) and to correlate these findings with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).
Patients And Methods: Prospective, observational study of 32 eyes of 24 patients. Twenty-seven eyes of 16 patients who met inclusion criteria were included in the final study.
Purpose: To evaluate and correlate the functional treatment response using microperimetry (MP3) with the morphological findings on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in wet AMD pre- and post-treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This was a single-centre prospective, interventional study.
Methods: Patients with wet AMD were treated with 3 injections of intravitreal anti-VEGF at monthly intervals for 3 months and followed at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postinjection.

Context: Role of Ozurdex in macular edema due to various posterior segment pathologies.
Aim: The aim of this study is to report outcome of Ozurdex implant in macular edema (ME) secondary to various posterior segment pathologies.
Settings And Design: This was a single-center, retrospective, interventional study.
Purpose: To describe chandelier-assisted retroillumination for phacoemulsification in patients with poor fundal glow due to posterior segment pathology during combined phacovitrectomy procedure.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study. Thirty eyes underwent combined phacoemulsification and 25G sutureless pars plana vitrectomy.
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and complications between 23-G and 25-G vitrectomy in patients with diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (VH).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective comparative study comprising 69 eyes (36 eyes in 23-G group and 33 eyes in 25-G group) of 65 patients who underwent vitrectomy with air tamponade for diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (VH) with at least 6 months of follow-up was conducted.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender, bilaterality, type of diabetes, presence of hypertension, lens status, and previous argon laser photocoagulation state ( > 0.

Purposes: To correlate the clinical picture and fundus fluorescein angiography findings in case of presumed cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita.
Methods: A 41-year-old woman with presumed cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita who is a known case of hypothyroidism for the last 6 years and has bilateral peripheral retinal vascular abnormalities, peripheral retinal nonperfusion on fluorescein angiography and bilateral optic disk drusen.
Result: A patient presented with blurring of vision in both eyes for last 6 months.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure the largest hyporeflective (LHR) lumen in the choroid and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and in control subjects using enhanced depth imaging (EDI) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Design: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study.
Methods: This was a study of 240 eyes of DR patients (n = 120) and control subjects (n = 120) matched for age, sex, and refractive error.

Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation and imaging features of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that was complicated by optic nerve leukemic infiltration.
Methods: A 36-year-old man with history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia on treatment presented with decreased vision and optic nerve leukemic infiltrates.
Results: At presentation, ocular examination revealed decreased visual acuity at hand movement close to face in his right eye and 20/120 in his left eye.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to correlate the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in fovea involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery.
Materials And Methods: Thirty eyes with preoperative fovea-involving RRD, who underwent scleral buckling (SB) (6 eyes) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (19 eyes) and combined SB and PPV (5 eyes) were recruited. Patients underwent clinical examination and SD-OCT scan of fovea preoperatively and at 30 days and 90 days postoperatively.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of postoperative topical nepafenac (0.1%) with prednisolone acetate (1%) as anti-inflammatory agents in eyes undergoing Transscleral Sutureless Vitrectomy (TSV).
Settings And Design: Prospective, double-blind, randomized, single center clinical study.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate wound morphology in vivo in eyes undergoing sutureless vitrectomy.
Design: This was a prospective consecutive case series.
Methods: Twenty eyes undergoing sutureless vitrectomy were evaluated using anterior segment optical coherence tomography on days 1, 15, and 30.
