Purpose: To identify changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after vitreoretinal surgical procedures in eyes that received either difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% (DP) or prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension 1% (PA).
Methods: A retrospective chart review compared a consecutive series of 100 patients who received DP with 100 patients who received PA after vitreoretinal surgery. Data were collected for a 3-month period from the time of surgery.
Results: A significantly higher number of patients treated with DP (35%, n = 35) developed increased IOP (>21 mmHg with a change from baseline of >10 mmHg) compared with those receiving PA (22%, n = 22) (P = 0.042). The mean maximum IOP in the DP cohort (26.7 mmHg) was significantly higher than that in the PA cohort (22.8 mmHg) (P = 0.0027). Additionally, the rise in IOP from baseline was significantly higher in the DP-treated cohort (9.0 mmHg) than that in the PA-treated cohort (6.0 mmHg) (P = 0.027).
Conclusion: Eyes treated with DP after vitreoretinal surgery were at increased risk for developing clinically significant increases in IOP compared with those receiving PA.

Purpose: To report a rare case of a Coats-like response developing after vitreoretinal surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and its successful management with retinal laser photocoagulation and adjunctive intravitreal steroids.
Case Description: A 52-year-old woman with a five-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented with decreased vision in the left eye (counting fingers at 1 m). Examination revealed high-risk PDR in both eyes, with a subtotal macula-off combined retinal detachment in the left eye.
Anatomic and Functional Outcomes of Scleral Buckling Surgery for Advanced Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Systematic Review and Proportional Meta-Analysis.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, GBR.
A significant percentage of patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who progressed to stages 4 and 5 of ROP will require surgical intervention. Scleral buckling surgery is widely employed for the restoration of retinal detachment in advanced cases of ROP. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to review the anatomical and visual outcomes following scleral buckling surgery in ROP of stages 4 and 5.

Purpose: We surveyed vitreoretinal (VR) fellowship program directors (PDs) to elucidate how they assess surgical competency among VR fellows. In addition, we also surveyed fellowship program graduates for the years 2022 and 2023 regarding assessment metrics and tools used during VR fellowship training.

Introduction: Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital anomaly associated with significant surgical challenges, including a high risk of postoperative retinal detachment (RD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical approach and axial length (AL) on RD risk and visual outcomes in pediatric PFV management.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 76 eyes of 74 patients who underwent cataract surgery for PFV between 2014 and 2022.
Simplified segmental scleral buckling without localization and cryopexy: A retrospective comparison with conventional segmental scleral buckling.
Taiwan J Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Yunlin Branch, Yunlin, Taiwan.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to propose a simplified segmental scleral buckling (SSSB) technique that does not require break localization for less-experienced vitreoretinal surgeons.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study compared the clinical results of 46 conventional and 23 SSSB (conventional segmental SB [CSSB] and SSSB, respectively) procedures in a tertiary referral retinal center in Taiwan between 2008 and 2019. In the CSSB group, breaks were localized during surgery.
