Purpose: To present the outcomes of the Vitreo-retinal Society of India (VRSI) Practice Pattern Survey 2020 in surgical retina.
Methods: An online survey of members of VRSI was conducted in April 2020 regarding their practice patterns on varied medical and surgical retina topics concerning imaging and management approach. The results were evaluated by two independent experts in this field and compared with the evidence and other practice patterns in the world.
Results: A total of 107 VRSI members participated in the online survey. Responses were obtained on management of wide-ranging surgical retina topics such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, Macular Hole, and Epiretinal membranes. Participants were also surveyed regarding their attitudes and perceptions about microscopes with the heads-up display system. Each of the survey question responses were then compared to contemporary literature, including evidence-based guidelines, randomized controlled trials, real-world evidence, and analogous international surveys. Comprehensive analysis related to this has been put forward in the article.
Conclusion: This survey represents the contemporary practice patterns among vitreoretinal specialists in India. The survey results are vital for fellow practitioners to understand the "standard of care" practice in surgical retina. This will guide them to devise the best possible individualized treatment strategy for most favorable clinical outcomes.

Background/ Aims: To analyze the longitudinal change in Bruch's membrane opening minimal rim width (BMO-MRW) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after implantation of a PRESERFLO® microshunt for surgical glaucoma management in adult glaucoma patients.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis of 59 eyes of 59 participants undergoing implantation of a PRESERFLO microshunt between 2019 and 2022 at a tertiary center for glaucoma management. Surgical management included primary temporary occlusion of the glaucoma shunt to prevent early hypotony.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a common cause of irreversible blindness following head injury. TON is characterized by axon damage in the optic nerve followed by retinal ganglion cell death in the days and weeks following injury. At present, no therapeutic or surgical approach has been found to offer any benefit beyond observation alone.

Introduction And Primary Objective: Pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. A thorough evaluation of family, medical, and ocular history is helpful, as systemic and genetic conditions can predispose children to RRD. Trauma, high myopia, and history of prematurity are also common risk factors.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves a complex interplay between immune-mediated inflammation and neurodegeneration. Recent advances in biomarker research have provided new insights into the molecular underpinnings of MS, including ferritin, neurogranin, Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), and neurofilaments light chain.
Objectives: This pilot study aims to investigate the levels of these biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of MS patients and explore their associations with clinical, cognitive, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
