Management of macula-on giant retinal tear detachments- outcome of pars-plana-vitrectomy with silicone oil versus gas tamponade.

Background: To compare the outcome of eyes with a macula-on giant retinal tear (GRT) detachment treated with pars-plana-vitrectomy (PPV) depending on the used endotamponade.

Methods: All consecutive cases with a macula-on GRT-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) managed with PPV between 2007 and 2022 were retrospectively assessed depending on the selected endotamponade. By reviewing medical charts and surgical protocols the pre- and intraoperative parameters were analysed in detail.

[Iatrogenic retinal defects after intravitreal operative drug injections].

Background: Intravitreal operative drug injections represent one of the most frequently performed medical interventions. The risk profile is low. In addition to intraocular pressure elevation, the most frequent complications include exogenous endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Long-Term Outcome and Complications of IOL-Exchange.

Purpose: To describe the long-term outcome after intraocular lens (IOL) exchange for IOL-opacification with a focus on any occurring complications.

Patients And Methods: Patients with an IOL exchange for opacified IOLs (Lentis LS-502-1) were identified. Medical records and information from the treating ophthalmologists were reviewed.

Are Retinal Detachments Becoming More Frequent? Data from 2 University Eye Clinics and Literature Review.

There have been marked increases in the numbers of patients with retinal detachments at individual centres in recent years and this is supported by the subjective impression of many experts. We therefore surveyed the literature on changes in the incidence of retinal detachments worldwide. This revealed quite significant methodological differences between the studies, so that it was difficult to achieve a conclusive comparison of the development of the incidence of retinal detachment.
