Laser cyclodestructive interventions are considered the method of choice in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. However, the traumatic nature of cyclocoagulation makes it necessary to search for more gentle methods of laser treatment. One of the possible directions is the development of laser transscleral technologies that mainly affect the uveoscleral outflow.

- RPE detachment can result from various eye disorders, including degenerative, vascular, and inflammatory conditions, with neovascular age-related macular degeneration being the most common cause in older adults.
- Only 10% of cases are classified as transudative, which involves high domed serous detachment without associated blood vessel growth.
- The article discusses a specific case of idiopathic bilateral avascular RPE detachment, examining its clinical, morphological, and functional characteristics, as well as its effects on vision and quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates changes in corneal nerve fibers (CNF) after cataract phacoemulsification, highlighting the need for better understanding due to advancements in clinical practices and potential impacts of surgical techniques.
- The research involved patients aged 50 to 60 who underwent standard and hybrid phacoemulsification, using laser confocal microscopy to analyze CNF states through specific coefficients.
- Results showed a decrease in CNF orientation anisotropy and an increase in orientation symmetry after surgery, with hybrid techniques showing less significant changes compared to standard methods, indicating a need for further long-term studies on different cataract surgery outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effects of different cataract surgery techniques on the macular area, comparing standard phacoemulsification and hybrid femtolaser-assisted methods.
- Both techniques were assessed through optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinography to evaluate changes in the macula post-surgery.
- The findings indicate no significant differences in macular health or functional recovery between the two methods, suggesting that surgical technique may not impact the risk of macular edema development.
Introduction: According to various sources, occurrence rate of keratectasia (KE) after Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) ranges from 0.04 to 0.2%.

The surface hydration is accompanied by dealkalization, and there is a buildup of alkaline earths, calcium and magnesium in the outermost layers. These results have clarified the phenomena underlying the obsidian hydration dating technique.
