Background And Objective: To investigate the outcomes of combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), transient keratoprosthesis (TKP), and penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in patients with coexisting corneal and vitreoretinal diseases.
Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent PPV, TKP, and PKP were included. The main outcome measures were change in visual acuity (VA), clarity of the graft, and retinal attachment.
Results: Twenty eyes were included. The mean follow-up time was 18 months ± 9.5 months. The baseline VA was light perception in 15 eyes and hand motions in five eyes and was found to be increased in 15 eyes (75%), decreased in one eye (5%), and stable in four eyes (20%). The mean corneal graft survival time was 11.1 months ± 8.5 months. Three eyes (15%) showed phthisis bulbi at the last visit.
Conclusion: The triple procedure seems to be an effective treatment option in patients who suffer from coexisting corneal and vitreoretinal diseases. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:237-241.].

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.

Purpose: Current treatments for retinoblastoma facilitate globe salvage but can result in vitreoretinal disorders that may require surgery. There is controversy on surgical approaches in eyes with retinoblastoma. Here we describe a transcorneal vitrectomy approach that avoids the use of chemotherapy or cryotherapy.

Adhesive hydrogels, composed of hydrophilic polymers arranged in a three-dimensional network, have emerged as a pivotal innovation in ophthalmology due to their ability to securely adhere to ocular tissues while providing sustained therapeutic effects. The eye, with its delicate structure and specific needs, presents unique challenges for drug delivery and tissue regeneration. This review explores the transformative potential of adhesive hydrogels in addressing these challenges across a range of ocular conditions, including corneal injuries, cataracts, glaucoma, vitreoretinal disorders, and ocular trauma.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of scleral fixation of aniridic black diaphragm intraocular lenses (BDIOL) in 38 eyes affected by aniridia and aphakia due to trauma or congenital conditions.
- After an average follow-up of 28 months, there was a significant improvement in visual acuity, and patients reported reduced glare and photophobia, though some experienced complications like elevated intraocular pressure and corneal decompensation.
- The findings suggest that scleral fixation of BDIOL is an effective solution for patients lacking capsular support, providing good vision quality with a low rate of complications, regardless of prior surgical history.
