Fundus Autofluorescence Patterns in Subretinal Hemorrhages Associated with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Introduction: Submacular hemorrhage (SMH) is a vision-threatening complication of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The exact treatment scheme is not established yet. The aim of the current study was to describe surgical results and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) patterns after pars plana vitrectomy (ppV) + subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) + anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and intravitreal tPA + anti-VEGF + sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) tamponade and to compare them to intravitreal tPA + anti-VEGF + SF6 in the treatment of SMH in the course of AMD.

PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF SURGICAL SUCCESS WITH THE INVERTED INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE FLAP TECHNIQUE.

Purpose: To present new morphologic features correlating with functional and anatomical outcomes of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique in full-thickness macular hole.

Methods: A retrospective study of 51 successful and 22 failed full-thickness macular hole surgeries. In all eyes, preoperative spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) or swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) were reviewed.

Macular hole Delphi consensus statement (MHOST).

Purpose: To derive a Delphi method-based consensus for the surgical management of Full Thickness Macular Hole (FTMH) and Lamellar Macular Hole (LMH).

Methods: 37 expert VR surgeons from 21 mainly European countries participated in Delphi method-based questionnaire for diagnosis and treatment of FTMHs and LMHs.

Results: A total of 36 items were rated in round 1 by 37 participants, of which 10 items achieved consensus: intraoperative verification of PVD; clinical superiority of OCT-based FTMH classification; practical ineffectiveness of ocriplasmin; circular 360° ILM peeling for small macular holes; use of regular surgical technique for the size of the hole in concomitant retinal detachment; performing complete vitrectomy; SF6 gas as preferred tamponade; cataract surgery if crystalline lens is mildly/moderately opaque; removal of both ILM and LHEP in LMH surgery.

Full-Thickness Macular Hole in Coats Disease Treated Using the Inverted Internal Limiting Flap Technique.

To report vitrectomy with the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique in a patient with a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and Coats disease. A case and its long-term findings were analyzed. A 27-year-old patient with Coats disease who was treated 5 years earlier with laser photocoagulation presented with an FTMH.

Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema:: A Swept-source OCT Angiography Study.

Purpose: The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) has been reported to decrease after anti-VEGF injections in diabetic macular edema (DME) in the long term. This study aimed to present the changes in swept-source OCT angiography after vitrectomy in patients with DME.

Design: Retrospective interventional study.

Idiopathic epiretinal membranes: postoperative changes in morphology.

Objective: To describe retinal morphology in idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and to evaluate factors influencing function at different postoperative times up to 24 months.

Design: Retrospective study.

Participants: A total of 121 eyes of 117 patients followed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for 24 months.

Vitrectomy with ILM peeling in diabetic macular edema in one eye vs. intravitreal anti-VEGF injections in the second eye: a comparative study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the results of vitrectomy performed in patients' worse eyes with diabetic macular edema to the results of continuous anti-VEGF treatment performed in patients' fellow eyes.

Methods: A retrospective interventional study of 14 patients with diabetic macular edema in both eyes. The better eye was always qualified for aflibercept injections (group 1), and the worse eye was scheduled for vitrectomy (group 2).

Outcomes from the Retrospective Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study on Lamellar Macular Hole Surgery.

Purpose: To analyze the functional and anatomical parameters of lamellar macular hole (LMH) surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling and determine which surgical technique provides the best visual outcome.

Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter cross-sectional study on patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for LMH with or without combined phaco-vitrectomy, as well as gas-, air- or BSS-tamponade. Pre- and postoperative examination included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements for functional comparison and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans to determine the contributing anatomical parameters.

Management of optic disc pit maculopathy: the European VitreoRetinal society optic pit study.

Purpose: To evaluate a variety of techniques, and their anatomical and functional results, for the treatment of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M). A secondary aim was to report on results of secondary procedures in cases of initial failure or recurrence.

Methods: Multicentre retrospective study of 95 eyes with ODP-M, treated by 25 surgeons from 12 countries.

Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome.

Purpose: A swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) analysis of vasculature in vitreomacular traction (VMT) before and after surgery as well as 15 months' "watchful waiting" follow-up data.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 38 eyes. Patients were divided into group 1: untreated (20 eyes); group 2: untreated, spontaneous release of traction (4 eyes); and group 3: vitrectomy (14 eyes).

Vitrectomy for full thickness macular hole developed during the course of anti-VEGF treatment of type 1 neovascular AMD.

Purpose: To report a case of treatment of a full-thickness macular hole, which appeared after 10 months of anti-VEGF treatment in neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: The patient was diagnosed as type 1 nAMD. The coexisting vitreomacular traction caused a full thickness macular hole after 10 months of treatment.
