Personalized Management of Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Vitreoretinopathy.

To evaluate prognostic factors for visual outcome in patients with diabetes who have undergone vitrectomy (PPV) for severe proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy (PDVR) in at least one eye in the past 15 years. Medical records of 132 eyes of 66 patients were analyzed (median age 52 years 21-80; patients with type 1/2 diabetes 40/26; median follow-up 38 months 9-125). Correlations between final favorable visual outcome defined as 0.

Association of SDF-1-3' Gene A Variant with Diabetic Retinopathy in the Hungarian Population.

We investigated the association between the SDF-1-3' (c801G > A) variant and the development of diabetic macular edema (DME) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in a Hungarian cohort. SDF-1-3' (c801G > A) was genotyped in 103 patients with diabetic retinopathy and 31 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. Central retinal and choroidal thickness was measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography.

Micropulse Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation Results in Secondary Glaucoma.

The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term outcome of first session of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) for refractory glaucoma developed after vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicone oil implantation. The inclusion criteria of this consecutive case series were: patients with secondary glaucoma in the refractory stage who underwent MP-CPC between 2018 and 2021, vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicon oil implantation, and at least a 24-month follow-up period after MP-CPC. Success was defined as the baseline eye pressure reduced at least 20%, and it should be ranged between 10 to 20 mmHg without further MP-CPC at the end of the follow-up.

[Pachychoroid diseases].

The aim of this study is to present our knowledge about pachychoroid diseases using case reports, literature review and our own clinical experiences. A summary flow chart of treatment options for the subgroups was prepared, too. Pachychoroid diseases include the following: central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy (PPE), pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS), focal choroidal excavation (FCE).

Predictive factors of selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist treatment in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

To compare the macular morphology of good and poor responders to eplerenone treatment in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients. Thirty eyes of 29 patients with chronic CSCR were treated with 50 mg/day oral eplerenone and followed up for 1 year. The integrity of outer retinal layers at baseline was assessed using optical coherence tomography.
