Electroretinographic Assessments of Macular Function after Brilliant Blue G Staining for Inner Limiting Membrane Peeling.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of brilliant blue G (BBG) staining of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) on macular function. Method: Fourteen eyes of 14 patients consisting of 9 men and 5 women who underwent vitreous surgery with ILM peeling were studied. The mean age of the patients was 68.

Intraocular Temperature Distribution in Eyes Undergoing Different Types of Surgical Procedures during Vitreous Surgery.

Vitreous temperature has been reported to vary during intraocular surgery. We measured the temperature at three intraocular sites, just posterior to the crystalline lens (BL), mid-vitreous (MV), and just anterior to the optic disc (OD), and investigated temperature changes before and after different types of surgical procedures in 78 eyes. The mean temperature at the beginning was 30.

Intraocular Temperature at Different Sites in Eye Measured at the Beginning of Vitreous Surgery.

The temperature of the vitreous has been reported to vary during cataract and vitreous surgery. We measured intraocular temperature at four intraocular sites; the anterior chamber (AC), just behind the crystalline lens, mid-vitreous, and just anterior to the optic disc (OD) at the beginning of vitrectomy with a thermoprobe in 48 eyes. The temperatures were compared in three groups; eyes that underwent vitrectomy for the first time (Group V, = 30), eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity had been filled with balanced salt solution (BSS; Group A, = 12), and eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity was filled with silicone oil (Group S, = 6).

Fundus Autofluorescence after Half-Dose Photodynamic Therapy for Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Introduction: To evaluate the fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images 1 year after half-dose photodynamic therapy (hdPDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: Forty-six eyes of 46 consecutive patients with chronic CSC underwent hdPDT. Short wavelength-elicited FAF images and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomographic (EDI-OCT) images were recorded before and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the hdPDT.

Correction: Electroretinograms recorded with skin electrodes in silicone oil-filled eyes.

Magnification Effect of Foveal Avascular Zone Measurement Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) of healthy subjects and examine the magnification effect.

Methods: A total of 33 healthy volunteers were enrolled and all subjects were eligible for analysis. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examination scanned 3 × 3 mm of the macular area.

Electroretinograms recorded with skin electrodes in silicone oil-filled eyes.

Purpose: To assess the physiology of the retina by electroretinography (ERG) with skin electrodes in eyes that had undergone vitrectomy with silicone oil (SO) tamponade.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Method: ERGs were recorded from eleven eyes with complex vitreoretinal disorders and from the normal fellow eyes.

Electroretinographic evaluations of retinal function before, just after, and after intravitreal injections.

Intravitreal injections (IVI) have become a part of daily practice for a growing number of procedures. We evaluated the retinal function by recording intraoperative photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) before an injection (T1), just after the injection (T2), and after the aspiration of the anterior chamber fluid (T3) of 19 eyes of 19 patients (mean age 70.6 years; men = 11) who received an IVI of an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.

Intraoperative Electroretinograms before and after Core Vitrectomy.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal function by intraoperative electroretinograms (ERGs) before and after core vitrectomy.

Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Method: Full-field photopic ERGs were recorded prior to the beginning and just after core vitrectomy using a sterilized contact lens electrode in 20 eyes that underwent non-complicated vitreous surgery.

Valsalva retinopathy developing during Japanese cheerleading training ("ouendan").

Purpose: Valsalva hemorrhagic retinopathy is characterized by retinal hemorrhages that develop after a Valsalva maneuver that consists of a forcible exhalation against a closed glottis, thereby creating a sudden increase in the intrathoracic or intraabdominal pressure. We present a patient who developed retinal and vitreous hemorrhages with multiple retinal nonperfused areas after extreme physical training with shouting on a mountainous area. This exercise was part of his training as a member of a Japanese traditional cheerleading team.

Outer retinal microstructure in a case of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome.

Purpose: To present a patient with acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome who had abnormal changes in the outer retinal microstructure limited to areas with reduced responses on multifocal electroretinograms as well as to the area involving a scotoma.

Methods And Results: We report the case of a 44-year-old man who developed an arcuate scotoma which was associated with a physiological blind spot in the left eye. The ophthalmoscopic, fluorescein angiographic, and full-field electroretinogram findings were normal.
