Purpose: Our aim is to present in this online supplementa ry video (see www.karger.com/doi/10.1159/000486348) an easy new surgical technique using blue dye to dissect the posterior hyaloid when performing pars plana vitrectomy.
Procedures: Dual-Blue stain is injected in vitreous cavity just after central vitrectomy is performed. The distribution of the blue stain will allow us to know if there is a posterior vitreous detachment or not ("blue lake fashion" or "blue jelly fashion," respectively) and as an excellent visualization of the vitreous fibers is accomplished, dissection of the posterior hyaloid can be performed without difficulty.
Results: This procedure allows a much more simple, fast, and safe dissection of posterior hyaloid even for an inexperienced vitreoretinal surgeon. The cleavage plane between the retina and the posterior hyaloid is easily differentiated.
Conclusions: A more controlled and easy dissection of posterior hyaloid during vitrectomy is accomplished with this simple technique without adding any extra cost. Message of the paper: An easy technique that allows a much easier dissection of the posterior hyaloid during vitrectomy improving visualization and decreasing risks. No extra cost, nor time is needed.

Purpose Of The Review: In recent years, Berger's space (BS), the potential space between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid membrane, has received little attention from the ophthalmic clinical community. This is primarily due to the limited documentation, with only a few isolated case reports detailing foreign bodies in this area.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in medical imaging technology have enabled the visualization of the BS under various circumstances.

We present an unusual case of a macular lesion, possibly a spontaneously closed macular hole, at a 4-year follow-up visit, after lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) in stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Optical coherence tomography scans of the macula were suggestive of a spontaneously closed macular hole and fibrovascular proliferation at the equator. We hypothesise that tangential traction by residual posterior hyaloid could lead to late macular hole formation after LSV in ROP.

In cells undergoing apoptosis phosphatidylserine, a major component of the plasma membrane, translocates to the outer leaflet where it provides eat-me signals for phagocytic recognition and is bound by annexin-V, an apoptotic marker. The need to track retinal ganglion cell death (RGC) in response to glaucomatous damage or optic neuropathy has led to the development of DARC (detection of apoptosing retinal cells) imaging, providing non-invasive, assessment of RGC death. Although the eye is an immune privileged site, resident and infiltrating immune cells are known to respond quickly to trauma or infection.
