Purpose: To describe a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy-like (AZOOR-like) presentation following scleral buckle surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Observations: A 48-year-old man underwent successful scleral buckle with cryotherapy for repair of a left eye inferior macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Five years later he presented with a six-month history of left peripheral field restriction. Fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography demonstrated degeneration of the photoreceptors in a ring pattern around the left macula. Humphrey visual fields showed functional loss corelating with the imaging, with a paracentral ring scotoma. Electrophysiology demonstrated a delayed 30 Hz flicker latency in the left eye confirming cone system dysfunction.
Conclusion And Importance: Scleral buckling surgery for repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may be associated with a late AZOOR-like presentation.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair on drusen regression.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients with drusen who underwent macula-involving RRD repair. Longitudinal optical coherence tomography scans were reviewed by three graders, and each case was grouped into one of three categories: drusen regression, drusen persistence, or mixed.

Topic: To compare anatomic outcomes of primary scleral buckle (SB) vs. lens sparing pars plana vitrectomy (LSV) in treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) associated Stage 4A retinal detachment (RD).
Clinical Relevance: ROP is the leading cause of blindness in childhood in industrialized countries worldwide.
Purpose: To observe the changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and peripapillary vessel densities (VD) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after scleral buckling (SB) by OCTA.
Methods: A total of 40 patients (40 eyes) with monocular RRD who underwent SB were included in the study, with the operated eyes (40 eyes) as the study group and the contralateral healthy eyes (40 eyes) as the control to analyse the changes in peripapillary RNFL thickness and VD before and after surgery. Data were analysed by paired samples -test or Wilcoxon signed rank sum test.

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who received primary repair by combined pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling (PPV/SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone by using a propensity analysis.
Patients And Methods: This study was a single center retrospective observational study. Medical records of patients who underwent surgical interventions between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
