Purpose: To evaluate the effect on outer retina integrity of foveal sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling compared to standard ILM peeling on proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) eyes affected by diabetic macular edema (DME) and epiretinal membrane (ERM).
Materials And Methods: Eyes diagnosed with PDR, DME and ERM eligible for vitrectomy were prospectively recruited and randomly assigned to either foveal sparing (FS) group and no foveal sparing (nFS) group. Ellipsoid zone (EZ) lesion size, EZ reflectivity and external limiting membrane (ELM) integrity and angular sign of Henle Fiber Layer Hyperreflectivity (ASHH) were assessed preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from ten studies involving 1,833 eyes, finding no significant differences in success rates between PF and TB, but TB resulted in better IOP outcomes and reductions. However, PF showed less visual field progression and a lower risk of hypotony maculopathy.
- * The conclusion indicates that while TB is generally more effective for managing uncontrolled glaucoma, PF may be preferable for patients concerned about visual field changes, emphasizing strengths in subgroup analyses and mid-term follow-up
Purpose: To assess choroidal changes associated to optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) and their evolution after surgical treatment.
Design: Multicentric retrospective case series.
Methods: An analysis of 42 patients affected by unilateral ODP-M undergoing surgical treatment between 2013 and 2023 was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new visualization method for peeling epiretinal membranes (ERM) using the Alcon Ngenuity 3D System's picture-in-picture feature connected to a smartphone.
- Conducted on 20 patients, researchers used optical coherence tomography angiography to create detailed en-face images, enabling precise peeling of the ERM without the use of dye stains.
- Results showed a 100% success rate in the initiation of peeling, with significant improvements in central macular thickness one month post-surgery, highlighting the technique's efficiency and ease of use.
