Purpose: To compare short- and long-term anatomical, functional, and refractive outcomes between combined phacovitrectomy (PVS) and consecutive vitrectomy (CVS) for idiopathic macular holes (MHs). Also, to evaluate the role of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) image quality in guiding surgical selection.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 183 phakic MH eyes operated between 2012 and 23, with patients divided into PVS and CVS groups.
Purpose: To study the outcomes of patients presenting with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) and bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) following intervention.
Methods: This retrospective study examined fundus photographs and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans to identify treatment-naive SMH and BALAD cases. Two groups were formed: SMH cases with and without BALAD.
Article Synopsis
- A case study reports a rare instance of acute bacterial endophthalmitis following scleral buckling surgery using a non-contact wide-angle viewing system (WAVS) and chandelier endoillumination in a 63-year-old man.
- The patient experienced a significant decrease in vision and ocular pain a week after surgery, with examinations revealing severe vitreous haze and infection, confirmed through a vitreous biopsy.
- Successful treatment involved a vitreous biopsy and intravitreal antibiotics, leading to recovery of vision over six weeks, highlighting the need for clinicians to be aware of infection risks associated with this surgical method.
Purpose: To report a case of punctate inner choroiditis (PIC) and subsequent choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) development in a young, high myope following vitreoretinal surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Case Description: A 44-year-old male with high myopia underwent pars plana vitrectomy for subtotal retinal detachment in the left eye, followed by cataract extraction and silicone oil removal. Three years postoperatively, he presented with blurred vision, and fundus examination revealed PIC lesions at the posterior pole.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare demographics, clinical characteristics, and post-surgical outcomes between idiopathic and secondary full-thickness macular holes (MHs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 348 eyes from 339 patients treated between June 2017 and December 2023 was conducted. The study included both idiopathic and secondary MHs, excluding cases where surgery was not performed or lacked sufficient follow-up.
Background: This study aims to assess systemic risk factors in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and predict diabetic retinopathy (DR) using a Random Forest (RF) classification model.
Methods: We included DM patients presenting to the retina clinic for first-time DR screening. Data on age, gender, diabetes type, treatment history, DM control status, family history, pregnancy history, and systemic comorbidities were collected.
Article Synopsis
- A 49-year-old male with diabetic retinopathy experienced complications, including serous retinal detachment (SRD) and pigment epithelium detachment (PED) in both eyes after undergoing extensive laser treatment for his condition.* -
- Despite initial concerns that these changes resembled central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), follow-up scans showed the SRD resolved and the PEDs stabilized within 12 weeks without further treatment.* -
- The findings suggest that specific characteristics of PED can help differentiate it from CSCR, and typically, SRD resolves on its own after laser treatments.*
Article Synopsis
- * The patient was diagnosed with CMV retinitis, a condition often linked with weakened immune systems in HIV patients, confirmed through PCR testing despite negative HIV serology.
- * The case emphasizes the importance of using viral load and CD4 count tests to accurately diagnose HIV in cases where initial serological tests return negative results but clinical suspicion remains high.
Inadvertent globe perforation following peribulbar anesthesia can lead to unpleasant experiences if not identified early and managed appropriately. We present the case of a 75-year-old female who came with decreased vision in the left eye (LE) following cataract surgery under peribulbar block. Her visual acuity in the right eye (RE) was 6/24 and LE was 6/75.
