25-years Trends and Risk factors related to Surgical Outcomes of Giant Retinal Tear-Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments.

To describe the 25-year surgical trends, long-term outcomes and risk factors affecting the outcomes of giant retinal tear-related rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (GRT-RRD). Patients' demographics, pre-operative characteristics, risk factors, operative procedures and post-operative outcomes were collected and divided into three groups - Group A: 1991 to 2015 (overall); Group B: 1991 to 2005, and Group C: 2006 to 2015. Functional and anatomical successes were monitored over a 5-year period.

PEDIATRIC RETINAL DETACHMENT IN AN ASIAN POPULATION WITH HIGH PREVALENCE OF MYOPIA: Clinical Characteristics, Surgical Outcomes, and Prognostic Factors.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of pediatric retinal detachments (RDs) in an Asian population.

Methods: Retrospective review of 171 eyes of 152 pediatric patients with rhegmatogenous RD over a 20-year period.

Results: Myopia was the most common risk factor in our population.

Long-term outcomes of myopic choroidal neovascularisation treated with combined ranibizumab and dexamethasone characterised by multi-modal imaging.

Aim: To characterise the long-term outcomes of myopic choroidal neovascularisation (mCNV) treated with combined ranibizumab and dexamethasone, with the use of multi-modal imaging.

Methods: A retrospective study of 20 eyes with mCNV treated with intra-vitreal ranibizumab and dexamethasone on a treat-as-needed basis were followed up for a mean period of 47 months (range 19-81 months).

Results: The mean age was 55 ± 16 years, with mean refractive error of -9.

SCLERAL BUCKLING VERSUS VITRECTOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MACULA-OFF PRIMARY RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT: A COMPARISON OF VISUAL OUTCOMES.

Purpose: To compare visual outcomes between pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without scleral buckling (SB) and SB alone in the management of uncomplicated macula-off primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods: Case-control study of 723 patients with uncomplicated macula-off primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment seen at the Singapore National Eye Centre from 2005 to 2011. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of eyes achieving functional success, defined as logMAR best-corrected visual acuity of ≤0.

Trends and factors related to outcomes for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery in a large asian tertiary eye center.

Purpose: To describe trends and outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a large Asian tertiary eye center.

Methods: Retrospective review of 1,530 eyes with primary retinal detachment between 2005 and 2011 managed at the Singapore National Eye Center by one of the following: scleral buckling (SB), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and combined SB and PPV (SB + PPV). Anatomical and functional outcomes were assessed.

Prognostic factor analysis of vitrectomy for retinal detachment associated with myopic macular holes.

Purpose: To describe the anatomic and functional outcomes in a cohort of subjects undergoing vitrectomy for retinal detachment (RD) resulting from myopic macular hole (MH) and to analyze the prognostic and surgical factors predicting retinal reattachment and MH closure.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Participants: All patients who underwent vitrectomy for RD resulting from myopic MH between 2000 and 2009 at our center.

Retinal vasculopathy in Fanconi anemia.

The authors present a case of Fanconi anemia with bilateral rapid onset retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage. The patient developed branch retinal vein occlusion in the left eye complicated by vitreous hemorrhage and was treated conservatively with intravitreal hyaluronidase injection. He declined vitrectomy and his visual acuity deteriorated to no perception of light.

Diabetic retinopathy in diabetics referred to a tertiary centre from a nationwide screening programme.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy in a multi-ethnic diabetic patient cohort referred for retinal evaluation from a nationwide diabetic retinopathy screening programme in Singapore.

Materials And Methods: Seven hundred and forty-two patients, aged 21 to 95, referred for suspected diabetic retinopathy on annual one-field non-mydriatic 45 degree retinal photographs (Topcon TRC-NW6, Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) from primary care to the Singapore National Eye Centre diabetic retinopathy clinic were included. The photographs had been interpreted by 24 trained family physicians accredited every 2 years with a training programme.

Optic disc laceration with combined retinal artery and vein occlusion following penetrating injury.

Ocular trauma is a major cause of unilateral blindness and male adults in the working age group have been found to have higher rates of ocular injury. A case of a work-related penetrating ocular trauma with an intraocular foreign body causing an optic disc laceration and consequently a combined retinal arterial and venous occlusion is presented. The patient did not recover useful vision despite early surgical intervention.

Visual function and outcomes after cataract surgery in a Singapore population.

Purpose: To identify the predictors of visual outcomes (visual acuity and visual function) in cataract surgery patients in Singapore and compare the visual outcomes of phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE).

Setting: Singapore National Eye Center, Singapore, Republic of Singapore.

Methods: The visual function was measured by the VF-14 and visual acuity in the operated and the better eye in 460 systematically sampled cataract surgery patients preoperatively and 3 months after surgery.
