Repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy.

Purpose: : To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repairs performed using 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy.

Methods: : A retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series including 53 consecutive eyes of 52 patients who underwent 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy to repair primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was performed. Variables collected for the study were patient demographics, lens status, preoperative visual acuity, and macular status.

Vitrectomy for a symptomatic lamellar macular hole.

Purpose: To investigate the surgical findings and outcomes after vitrectomy for a lamellar macular hole (LMH).

Design: Retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series.

Participants: Twenty-seven patients (27 eyes) with a lamellar macular hole and central vision loss.

The effect of duration of macular detachment on results after the scleral buckle repair of primary, macula-off retinal detachments.

Purpose: To present a current series that determined the effect of duration of macular detachment (DMD) and patient age on postscleral buckle (SB) visual acuity (VA) and anatomic results.

Design: Retrospective, noncomparative, observational case series.

Participants: Ninety-four consecutive patients (94 eyes) with primary, uncomplicated, macula-off retinal detachments, a preoperative VA of 20/200 or worse, and a precise history of when macular function was lost.

An analysis of lesion size and location in newly diagnosed cytomegalovirus retinitis.

Objective: To investigate the size and distribution of lesions in newly diagnosed cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR).

Design: Retrospective, observational case series.

Participants: Fundus photographs of 252 newly diagnosed CMVR lesions in 173 eyes of 130 patients (123 male, 7 female).

Incidence of retinal detachment and visual outcome in eyes presenting with posterior vitreous separation and dense fundus-obscuring vitreous hemorrhage.

Purpose: To determine visual outcomes and the incidence of retinal detachment in eyes presenting with posterior vitreous separation and dense fundus-obscuring vitreous hemorrhage.

Design: Retrospective consecutive noncomparative interventional case series.

Participants: Thirty-six eyes (15 right eyes and 21 left eyes) of 34 patients (18 female and 16 male) ranging in age from 42 to 94 years.
