Drying of the cornea during surgery, which causes poor visibility of the fundus, is one of the most serious problems when using a noncontact-type wide-angle viewing system. This study used a newly commercialized lens for observing the fundus with a noncontact wide-angle viewing system. The lens used has a very thin meniscus made of polymethyl methacrylate and a large outer diameter. Following the application of viscoelastic material, the lens can be put on the cornea without using a contact lens fixation ring. The larger diameter and lightweight characteristics of the new lens contributed to the overall stabilization. The smooth surface of this lens was able to achieve an intraoperative view of good quality not only during vitrectomy but also during scleral buckling procedures.

The ITER equatorial visible and infrared Wide Angle Viewing System (WAVS) will play a major role in the protection of plasma facing components by providing surface temperature measurements of these components. It will also image the plasma emission in the visible range. The WAVS is composed of 15 lines of sight located in four Equatorial Ports (EPs) 3, 9, 12, and 17.

Article Synopsis
- A case study reports a rare instance of acute bacterial endophthalmitis following scleral buckling surgery using a non-contact wide-angle viewing system (WAVS) and chandelier endoillumination in a 63-year-old man.
- The patient experienced a significant decrease in vision and ocular pain a week after surgery, with examinations revealing severe vitreous haze and infection, confirmed through a vitreous biopsy.
- Successful treatment involved a vitreous biopsy and intravitreal antibiotics, leading to recovery of vision over six weeks, highlighting the need for clinicians to be aware of infection risks associated with this surgical method.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) have emerged as popular screen advancements in digital appliances, thanks to their unique characteristics such as self-emitting ability, transparency, true dark tone, and flexibility. In comparison to liquid crystal displays, OLED displays offer superior performance. Moreover, OLEDs are also a promising option for illuminating purposes.

Nerves and blood vessels must be protected during brain tumor surgery, which has traditionally relied on microscopes. In the 2000s, endoscopes and related equipment were developed for neurosurgery. In this review, we aim to outline the role of endoscopes in brain tumor surgery and discuss the emerging use of exoscopes.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of conventional scleral buckling (CSB), modified scleral buckling (MSB), and scleral encircling (SE) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and identify factors influencing the outcomes.
Methods: This comparative, retrospective cohort study assigned patients to CSB, MSB, and SE groups. The follow-up was 12 months, and the reattachment rate, complication rate, visual acuity, number of newly discovered tears during surgery, and changes in diopters were compared among the three surgeries.
