Radiation retinopathy following episcleral brachytherapy for intraocular tumors: Current treatment options.

Radiation retinopathy (RR) and radiation maculopathy (RM) can occur as a result of uveal melanoma radiation treatment and after irradiation of other head and neck extraocular tumors, even with precise targeting techniques, such as stereotactic or proton beam radiotherapy. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of potential radiation damage to ocular tissues, and how recent developments in ophthalmic multimodal imaging techniques and treatment modalities have improved managing options. Several treatment strategies have been employed so far for the management of RR, including laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents or glucocorticosteroids and surgery.

Surgical outcomes of unwrapped acrylic orbital implants: A review of 192 patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the results in a series of acrylic orbital implant placements without the use of wrapping material.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of the patients who underwent enucleation with acrylic orbital implant insertion without scleral wrapping at the Department of Ophthalmology, Poznań University of Medical Sciences, Poland, between 2013 and 2020.

Results: There were 192 patients: 102 women and 90 men, mean age: 60 years (range: 13-90 years).
