The advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology has greatly enhanced our understanding of vitreoretinal diseases; it has become a routine diagnostic imaging method for the evaluation of vitreoretinal abnormalities and injuries in adult and pediatric patients. The use of OCT has recently been extended beyond the offices and clinics to perioperative and intraoperative settings. The new development in high-resolution and high-speed spectral domain OCT, along with the improvement in portability, has made the device more valuable than ever before. Our article summarizes the current development of the portable OCT devices in clinical, perioperative, and intraoperative settings in the management of vitreoretinal diseases.

Vitreomacular traction - a review.
Eye (Lond)

Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Vitreomacular traction (VMT) is characterised by abnormal adhesion of the posterior cortical vitreous with the macula causing distortion of the foveal contour and associated with symptoms of reduction in visual acuity and/or metamorphopsia. This review article explores the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic and treatment options for VMT. Advances in imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) have revolutionized the understanding of the vitreoretinal interface abnormalities and helps in monitoring the disease progression.

This is an unusual case of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) with isolated third cranial nerve palsy as the initial manifestation. Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare manifestation of PCNSL. While NL is a rare manifestation of PCNSL, primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) can be the presenting feature or a later-involved manifestation.

Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) has been applied and studied in a variety of vitreoretinal surgeries for its feasibility, safety, and outcomes for years. Common scenarios include membrane peeling procedures, retinal detachments, choroidal-retinal biopsies, Argus implants, and subretinal injections. iOCT offers the surgeon a better understanding of the retinal microarchitectural changes and timely intraoperative feedback, directing a future view of precision surgery.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most severe forms of retinopathy and a leading cause of blindness all over the world. Of a greater concern is proliferative diabetic retinopathy which leads to vitreous haemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment in such cases. A majority of these cases require a surgical intervention to improve vision and prevent further vision loss.

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells undergoing epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) are a key factor in promoting the progression of subretinal fibrosis. The klotho protein and gene exert anti‑fibrotic effects in multiple fibrotic diseases. However, the mechanisms involved in the role of klotho are unclear in subretinal fibrosis.
