Background And Objective: Bilateral vision-threatening disease necessitating urgent surgery in both eyes is challenging in vitreoretinal disorders, where surgeries are often longer and higher risk than in other ocular disorders. The authors present a case series of patients undergoing immediate sequential bilateral vitreoretinal surgery (ISBVS) on the same day.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective case series and literature review. Main outcome measures were surgical indications, systemic diseases, presenting and final visual acuity, and adverse events or complications during or after surgery.
Results: During the time period searched, 14 patients underwent ISBVS, without significant adverse events, infections, or complications. Illustrative cases are presented.
Conclusion: The authors recommend considering ISBVS under certain conditions, such as in patients who are unable to undergo local anesthesia surgery, and in those who definitely require urgent or semi-urgent bilateral vitreoretinal surgery requiring a second general anesthesia in the near future if performed separately, especially in cases where the anesthesia is considered high risk.

Purpose: To study clinical features, anatomical and visual outcomes in eyes having rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) as the presenting feature of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with ARN (active/healed) and concomitant RD at the presenting visit.
Results: The median age of patients was 36 years, with a male preponderance (9:1).

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with various systemic complications, including potential impacts on ocular health. Recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may lead to changes in retinal structure, particularly in the neuroretinal and retinal nerve fiber layers (RNFL). This study aimed to examine changes in neuroretinal and RNFL of the optic dics based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia at 2 time points after discharge.

Article Synopsis
- * The average age of patients at diagnosis was around 37 years, with most tumors being secondary rather than primary, and they were primarily located in the inferior and inferotemporal quadrants of the retina.
- * Treatment options such as cryotherapy and laser photocoagulation led to tumor regression in 18 out of the 19 eyes after a follow-up period of about 25 months, indicating these methods are generally effective but may require multiple sessions.
