Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who received primary repair by combined pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling (PPV/SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone by using a propensity analysis.
Patients And Methods: This study was a single center retrospective observational study. Medical records of patients who underwent surgical interventions between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Giant retinal tear-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (GRT-RRD) presents a significant surgical challenge. Trauma stands out as one of the risk factors. This retrospective case series aims to assess the outcomes of GRT-RRD patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), distinguishing between non-trauma and blunt ocular trauma cases.

- Retained intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) are a significant cause of visual impairment, with unique visual outcomes compared to other open globe injuries, particularly when not related to terrorism.
- A study of 161 patients revealed that most injuries were caused by grass trimming and metallic objects, with a notable improvement in vision after treatment; the proportion of patients with poor vision dropped significantly.
- The Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) was found to be a useful predictor of final visual outcomes, especially in higher categories, but there were inconsistencies in visual acuity in lower OTS groups, indicating the need for careful treatment decision-making.
Purpose: To determine the characteristics, primary sources, pathogens, risk factors, and visual outcomes in patients with endogenous endophthalmitis (EE).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 61 consecutive patients with EE (74 affected eyes) and reported on prevalence, clinical courses, prognostic factors and visual outcomes.
Results: Prevalence of EE was 5% of all patients with endophthalmitis.
Purpose: To determine characteristics and factors associated with no vision survival (included no light perception, enucleation, and evisceration) following open globe injury (OGI) and to correlate the proportion of final vision to predictive values of ocular trauma score (OTS).
Patients And Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients diagnosed as OGI between January 2015 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Data collected included demographics, mechanisms and modes of injuries, ophthalmic presentations, managements, and visual outcomes at the final visit.
