The aim of the study was to evaluate retinal thickness in macular area (before and after surgery), and its correlation with visual acuity in patients with retinal detachment treated conventional surgery. Twenty eyes of 20 patients, treated in our clinic and eyes of 20 healthy subjects without any ocular pathology were evaluated. Retinal thickness in macular area (obtained with retinal thickness analyzer RTA - TALIA Technology) and visual acuity achieved after surgery compared with ocular pathology before and after surgery were analyzed. The correlation between visual acuity changes after successful surgery and macular thickness was evaluated. Retinal thickening in macula in patients with detached retina (even if macula was attached), and immediately after successful surgery in comparison to control group was observed. In selected cases, withdrawal of subclinical macular edema correlated with improvement of visual acuity. RTA allows for quantitative evaluation of retinal thickness in macula and its correlation with visual rehabilitation in patients with retinal detachment treated conventional surgery. Therefore RTA can be a useful tool in monitoring and determining visual acuity improvement.

Graft-repositioning technique using infusion and small bubbles during Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Department of Visual Sciences, Nihon University School of Medicine, Itabashi, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a highly effective procedure for corneal endothelial dysfunction; however, once a DMEK graft is deployed, repositioning can be challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a technique that utilizes infusion and small air bubbles to reposition a misaligned deployed graft.
Methods: This retrospective interventional case series enrolled patients who underwent DMEK between January 2022 and July 2023, including cases where the DMEK graft was attached and unfolded in off-center positions".
Background: To evaluate the associations between anatomical changes and visual outcomes after membrane peeling in eyes with different stages of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: All iERM eyes were graded into four stages based on the presence of ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFL) and underwent 23-gauge vitrectomy combined with ERM and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, while their fellow eyes were treated as the control group. OCTA was used to measure retinal thickness(RT), foveal avascular zone (FAZ)-related parameters and superficial and deep capillary plexus (SCP and DCP) layers using 6 × 6 mm scans before, 1 month and 3 months after surgery.

Congenital retinal folds (CRFs) are a rare entity, with an incompletely understood pathogenesis. They are often associated with ocular conditions such as familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). We present a series of 5 patients with unilateral CRFs who underwent genetic testing.

January 2025
The Ohio State University College of Optometry, Columbus, OH, USA.
Purpose: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have reduced visual acuity (VA), even when wearing refractive correction. The relationship between refractive error and VA in adults with DS is explored.
Methods: Thirty adults with DS (age = 29 ± 10 years) were enrolled in a trial comparing clinical and objectively determined refractions.
ABCA4 Deep Intronic Variants Contributed to Nearly Half of Unsolved Stargardt Cases With a Milder Phenotype.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution and natural progression of ABCA4 deep intronic variants (DIVs) among a Chinese Stargardt disease (STGD) cohort.
Methods: For unsolved STGD probands, DIVs in ABCA4 were detected by next-generation sequencing, and splicing effects were evaluated by in silico tools and validated through minigene experiments. Comprehensive ocular examinations, especially fundus changes, were carried out and analyzed.
