Purpose: To report the outcome of surgical intervention for inflammatory, exudative retinal detachment (ERD).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of eyes with ERD that underwent vitrectomy.
Results: Twelve eyes (10 patients) with ERD, non-responsive to medical therapy, underwent vitrectomy. The mean age was 35.7 ± 17.7 years. Five eyes (42%) had Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, three (25%) had presumed tuberculosis (TB), two (17%) pars planitis, and one (8%) had sympathetic ophthalmia. The mean time of vitrectomy was 6.76 ± 4.1 months after onset. Six (50%) eyes had a recurrence, two settled with medical treatment, and four underwent re-surgery. The mean follow-up was 2.7 years. At the last visit, 10 (83.3%) eyes had attached retina; the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) had reduced to 1.6 ± 0.7 logarithms of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) from 1.3 ± 0.7 at baseline.
Conclusion: Vitrectomy in ERD can act as an adjuvant to conventional medical therapy and help maintain structural integrity. Early vitrectomy may help preserve visual function.

Background: Wound closure is the core issue in treating patients with extensive burns. Allogeneic grafts can serve as a suitable temporary substitute in third-degree burns, and the Meek technique has provided encouraging outcomes in recent decades. However, whether allografts and the Meek technique could be used simultaneously so as to leverage the strengths of both has not been extensively examined.

Purpose: To report a case of persistent bilateral sclerouveitis following bilateral bimatoprost implantation (Durysta) that required implant removal and oral steroid course.
Observation: A 75-year-old Caucasian male with no prior ocular inflammation experienced bilateral sclerouveitis post bilateral bimatoprost implantation. Despite implant removal from both eyes, the ocular inflammation persisted, showing cystoid macular edema in both eyes and exudative retinal detachment in the right.

Introduction: Uveitis, a severe inflammatory disease affecting the uvea, is associated with visual impairment and irreversible blindness. Asperulosidic Acid (ASPA), derived from , is known for its notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics.
Methods: The present study explored the potential anti-inflammatory effects and the fundamental processes of ASPA by injecting it or a placebo into the vitreous of rats with endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU).
Advanced UltraTech approach for distinguishing granulomatous from non-granulomatous corneal endothelial exudates in autoimmune rheumatic anterior uveitis.

Background: Anterior uveitis is a common manifestation in individuals with rheumatic conditions such as spondylarthritis, Behçet's syndrome, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and sarcoidosis. Clinical differentiation between granulomatous and non-granulomatous corneal endothelial exudates is crucial to subsequent diagnosis and treatment. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can ensure an accurate differential diagnosis and appropriate follow-up after local and systemic therapy.

Hereditary vitreoretinopathies (HVRs), also known as hereditary vitreoretinal degenerations comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the retina and vitreous, collectively and variably characterised by vitreal abnormalities, such as fibrillary condensations, liquefaction or membranes, as well as peripheral retinal abnormalities, vascular changes in some, an increased risk of retinal detachment and early-onset cataract formation. The pathology often involves the vitreoretinal interface in some, while the major underlying abnormality is vascular in others. Recent advances in molecular diagnosis and identification of the responsible genes and have improved our understanding of the pathogenesis, risks and management of the HVRs.
