Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how vision changes and the small structures in the eye (macula) are connected in patients with severe nearsightedness who had eye surgery for retinal detachment.
  • Fifty-eight patients were tested before and three months after their surgery to check their vision and the condition of their eye structures.
  • The results showed that many patients had changes in their eye structures after surgery, which affected their vision more than those without changes, suggesting that doctors can use these findings to help improve treatment.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the photoprotection effect of peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) protein in ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced damage of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and its possible molecular mechanism.

Methods: ARPE-19 cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the PRDX1 expression.

Background: The recurrence of retinal detachment following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a relatively common complication that can lead to reduced visual acuity and requires further surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors and visual outcomes of recurrent RRD following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil tamponade for primary RRD.

Methods: This was a retrospective follow-up study of 343 eyes that underwent initial PPV surgery with silicone oil tamponade for primary RRD.
