Purpose: We present imaging features of retinal detachment (RD) and secondary epiretinal membrane in a case of an inadvertent globe penetration following preoperative peribulbar anesthesia.
Methods: A 60-year-old woman was referred for a localized RD and epiretinal membrane following uneventful cataract surgery. Widefield fundus photography and optical coherence tomography were used to assess and record the pathology. The current literature was reviewed.
Results: Full-thickness breaks were noted in the neurosensory retina extending into the scleral wall. Vertical tracks were noted in the inferotemporal quadrant of the eye. The patient underwent trans pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, and gas. Her 1-month postoperative visual acuity was 20/30.
Conclusions: Globe penetration with RD is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication of peribulbar anesthesia. Diagnosis can be challenging because of the infrequency of occurrence and delays in presentation. A high index of suspicion is key alongside consideration of other likely differentials.

Purpose: To describe a novel surgical approach for treating patients diagnosed with severe idiopathic epiretinal membranes (iERM) featuring ectopic intrafoveal layers (EIFL).
Method: A retrospective, interventional case series was conducted involving eight cases of iERM with EIFL. The technique involved a 27-gauge vitrectomy, removal of all vitreous adhesions, and injection of approximately 100μl sub-retinal balanced salt solution (BSS) using a 41-gauge subretinal needle, creating 3-4 localized bleb-like elevations around the folded retina to loosen it.

Purpose: To evaluate various supervised machine learning (ML) statistical models to predict anatomical outcomes after macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) features.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed OCT data from idiopathic MH eyes at baseline and at 1-month post-surgery. The dataset was split 80:20 between training and testing.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells may have neuroprotective and tissue regenerative capabilities and the potential to rescue retinal degeneration in chorioretinal diseases including myopic chorioretinal atrophy. Transplantation of human (allogeneic) adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell (adMSC) suspensions has been clinically conducted to treat retinal degenerative diseases. However, serious side effects including proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiretinal membrane formation have been reported.
