Purpose: To report a case of giant pigment epithelium detachment (PED) secondary to chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) successfully treated with photobiomodulation (PBM).
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 55-year-old man complained a worsening of vision in the left eye (LE) over the last 18 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two novel heavy dyes for macular surgery: DoubledyneTM and TwinTM. One eye from each of 144 patients undergoing surgery for macular hole or macular pucker was included in the study. The eyes were randomly divided into two groups according to the dye used during surgery.

Methods: A total of 184 eyes of 184 patients undergoing PPV for MH or MP were randomly selected for surgery with 3DVH or standard Galilean microscope (GM). Only one highly trained surgeon performed each PPV.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the visual outcomes and complications of two surgical approaches for treating epiretinal membranes and macular holes: combined surgery (vitrectomy with phacoemulsification) versus vitrectomy alone.
- A total of 110 eyes were analyzed, with no statistically significant differences found in best-corrected visual acuity or most postoperative complications between the two groups over a 6-month follow-up period.
- Common complications included cystoid macular edema and intraocular hypertension, but overall, the combined surgery did not offer any significant advantages over vitrectomy alone in terms of visual outcomes or complications.
Purpose: To describe the intraoperative management of choroidal effusion (CE) or suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) during cataract surgery with the phacoemulsification technique.
Methods: The study is a retrospective interventional study through which we describe the intraoperative management adopted in 6 cases of CE or SCH during cataract surgery. The study involved 6,400 eyes (phacoemulsification) in 6 years observational time (incidence rate 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the risk of shallow anterior chamber after trabeculectomy with removable compression sutures.
Methods: A total of 263 eyes affected by primary open-angle glaucoma that was unresponsive to medical treatments were divided into 2 groups: 126 eyes were treated with conventional trabeculectomy (group A) and 137 with a modified surgery technique using 3 removable compression 10-0 nylon sutures (group B). All the participants received intraoperative antimetabolites (mitomycin 0.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe the management of cataract and refractory glaucoma in a case of congenital aniridia (AN)-1.
Methods: In an 18-year-old female patient affected by congenital AN, bilateral coloboma of the zonula and lens, cataract and glaucoma, pars plana vitrectomy, cataract extraction and subsequent transcorneal ciliary body argon laser photocoagulation were performed.
Results: Five years after laser treatment, the best-corrected visual acuity was 20/50 and the intraocular pressure was stable at 18 mm Hg with topical pharmacological management consisting of timolol 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical findings, visual outcomes, and confocal microscopic corneal features after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) technique in Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.
Methods: A 70-year-old female patient with pseudophakia and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy underwent small-incision DSEK surgery. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was 1.
