Long-term sequelae of stage 4A ROP after successful management with lens-sparing vitrectomy.

We present an unusual case of a macular lesion, possibly a spontaneously closed macular hole, at a 4-year follow-up visit, after lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) in stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Optical coherence tomography scans of the macula were suggestive of a spontaneously closed macular hole and fibrovascular proliferation at the equator. We hypothesise that tangential traction by residual posterior hyaloid could lead to late macular hole formation after LSV in ROP.

Clinical and surgical outcomes of glaucoma drainage device tube in ciliary sulcus versus anterior chamber in North Indian glaucoma patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) insertion of tube through ciliary sulcus (CS) versus anterior chamber (AC) placement in the North Indian population.

Methods: This retrospective comparative case series included 43 patients in CS group and 24 in AC group, who underwent GDD implantation, from March 2014 to February 2020. The main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), number of anti-glaucoma medications, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and complications.
