We report a rare case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to a full-thickness macular hole in a young patient with pars planitis. This study was an interventional case report. A 38-year-old Asian man presented with acute reduction of vision in his left eye. His past ocular history revealed a precedent of two intravitreal steroid injections in his left eye, and fundoscopy revealed a total bullous retinal detachment along with 360° snowbanking at the pars plana. Precise preoperative visualization of the posterior pole was impossible due to a dense nuclear cataract. During surgery, an unexpected full-thickness macular hole with no associated epiretinal membrane was observed, which resulted in the retinal detachment. This case of chronic pars planitis complicated with a full-thickness macular hole resulting in retinal detachment was successfully treated with vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and perfluoropropane tamponade. Visual acuity improved from hand movements to 6/36 Snellen at 12 months postsurgery. This case report illustrates the rare but possible association between pars planitis with macular hole formation and subsequent retinal detachment, underlying the beneficiary outcome of vitrectomy surgery both diagnostically and therapeutically.

Purpose: To observe the changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and peripapillary vessel densities (VD) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after scleral buckling (SB) by OCTA.
Methods: A total of 40 patients (40 eyes) with monocular RRD who underwent SB were included in the study, with the operated eyes (40 eyes) as the study group and the contralateral healthy eyes (40 eyes) as the control to analyse the changes in peripapillary RNFL thickness and VD before and after surgery. Data were analysed by paired samples -test or Wilcoxon signed rank sum test.

A time-sensitive, sight-threatening ocular condition presenting at an emergency department can be safely diagnosed promptly by ocular ultrasonography (OUS). OUS is a quick, safe, and portable option for assessing severe tissue damage to the periorbital area. OUS can help identify patients who need immediate ophthalmology consultation in a busy setting or when direct ophthalmic examination is unavailable.

Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who received primary repair by combined pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling (PPV/SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone by using a propensity analysis.
Patients And Methods: This study was a single center retrospective observational study. Medical records of patients who underwent surgical interventions between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of foveal glial tissue on the anatomical and functional results after macular hole (MH) surgery.
Methods: This study included 141 consecutive eyes that underwent successful vitrectomy for full-thickness MH between January 2015 and December 2022. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the length of outer retinal defects were evaluated preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively.

Although silicone oil is used as an intraocular buffer in vitreoretinal surgical procedures, its use can cause complications, including glaucoma. This study highlights the importance of individualized approaches for the management of silicone oil-induced glaucoma. A 62-year-old man with a past medical history of retinal detachment and multiple ocular surgical procedurespresented with uncontrolled ocular pressure peaks after retinal detachment surgery using silicone oil as a buffer, which did not resolve after removal of the buffer.
