Correlation between metamorphopsia and disorganization of the retinal inner layers in eyes with diabetic macular edema.

Purpose: To investigate factors associated with the severity of metamorphopsia secondary to diabetic macular edema (ME) by evaluating optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters including disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 37 eyes of 37 consecutive patients with diabetic ME or resolved diabetic ME, who underwent spectral-domain OCT examination and metamorphopsia assessment with M-CHARTS on the same day between November 2017 and March 2018. Age, sex, visual acuity, lens status, treatment history, and factors analyzed on OCT examination including DRIL length were evaluated in association with M-CHARTS scores.

Disorganization of the Retinal Inner Layers after Anti-VEGF Treatment for Macular Edema due to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and visual acuity (VA) after anti-VEGF treatment for macular edema (ME) due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Methods: Sixty eyes of 60 patients were retrospectively investigated. Baseline characteristics and factors analyzed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination at the final visit were evaluated in association with VA at the final visit.

Floating flap of internal limiting membrane in myopic macular hole surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical results of macular hole (MH) in patients with high myopia treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) leaving the internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap floating in vitreous fluid at the edge of the MH.

Methods: Nine highly myopic eyes with MH of nine consecutive patients who underwent PPV were retrospectively evaluated. Three eyes were accompanied by retinal detachment (RD).

A comparison of patient pain and visual outcome using topical anesthesia versus regional anesthesia during cataract surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the level of patient pain during the phacoemulsification and implantation of foldable intraocular lenses while under topical, intracameral, or sub-Tenon lidocaine.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study. Three hundred and one eyes subjected to cataract surgery were included in this study.

Efficacy of inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for the treatment of macular hole in high myopia.

Purpose: To determine the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique for macular hole with or without retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes.

Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.

Methods: Ten eyes of 10 patients with macular hole with (4 eyes) or without (6 eyes) retinal detachment in high myopia (axial length more than 26.

Post-cataract surgery visual disturbance in a retinitis pigmentosa patient with asteroid hyalosis.

A patient with retinitis pigmentosa showed visual disturbances following successful cataract surgery. He had a dense asteroid hyalosis in the eye before cataract surgery. After the surgery he noticed that his vision became worse.
