Effect of internal limiting membrane peeling on visual field sensitivity in eyes with epiretinal membrane accompanied by glaucoma with hemifield defect and myopia.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on visual field sensitivities in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) accompanied by glaucoma with hemifield defect and myopia.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical study METHODS: We reviewed clinical records of patients with ERM who underwent vitrectomy and ERM/ILM peeling. We first collected clinical data of eyes with ERM and glaucoma with hemifield defect.

Influence of submacular fluid on recovery of retinal function and structure after successful rhegmatogenous retinal reattachment.

Purpose: To determine the influence of residual submacular fluid (SMF) on the recovery of function and structure of the retina after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) reattachment.

Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients who had undergone successful RRD repair by scleral buckling (SB) surgery or by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) from March 2011 to August 2014. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic images of the macular regions were used at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months following the surgery.

Correlation between preoperative factors and final visual acuity after successful rhegmatogenous retinal reattachment.

We evaluated the preoperative optical coherence tomographic (OCT) findings in eyes with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and determined the factors that were significantly correlated with the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The length of the preoperative photoreceptors was defined as the distance between the external limiting membrane (ELM) and the outer end of the outer segments of the photoreceptors in the OCT images. The mean length of the photoreceptors was 102.
