Literature discussing fellow eye risk in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is limited, particularly in subgroups where this risk may be greater than the general population. In this retrospective consecutive case series with 107 study patients, the risk of retinal tears in fellow eyes of patients with horseshoe tears in three or more quadrants of their presenting eye, secondary to PVD, was 81%. The fellow eye risk is high in this subgroup of patients, and it is important to inform them to seek prompt attention when symptoms of PVD develop in their fellow eye.

Adverse effect of Henle fiber layer hemorrhage due to retinal arterial macroaneurysm rupture on retinal sensitivity.
Retina
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama, Japan.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of Henle fiber layer hemorrhage (HFLh) on retinal sensitivity (RS) before and after displacement of the submacular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) rupture.
Methods: This retrospective study included 31 eyes undergoing vitrectomy for SMH. Eyes were grouped based on the presence or absence of HFLh (HFLh [+/-] group).
Multimodal imaging findings of the fellow eye in Stellate Nonhereditary Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis (SNIFR).

School of Medicine, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: This study examines the multimodal imaging (MMI) findings in two cases of unilateral Stellate Nonhereditary Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis (SNIFR), including detailed findings from the unaffected fellow eye.
Methods: Macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and 3x3 mm optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), microperimetry, full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG) for both the affected and the fellow eye were reviewed.
Results: The MMI findings were consistent across the two cases (71-year-old female and 60-year-old female).
Management of Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Wills Eye Hospital Mid Atlantic Retina, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
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.

Department of Ophthalmology, Fuyang Hospital Affiliated to Bengbu Medical University(Fuyang People's Hospital), Fuyang, 236400, Anhui Province, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: To evaluate optic disc and macular microvasculature changes in children with anisometropic amblyopia before and after treatment.
Methods: In all, 60 children with unilateral anisometropic amblyopia between the ages of 6 and 12 were randomly selected from the ophthalmology clinic of Fuyang People's Hospital, while 60 children with non-amblyopia in the same age range were randomly selected as a normal control group. The right eye was uniformly taken in the control group with at least 6 months of follow-up.
Analysis of choroidal thickness, macular thickness, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and macular vascular density in children with unilateral amblyopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography and their changes following occlusion therapy.

Department of Vitreo-Retina, Sankara Eye Hospital, Shimoga, Karnataka, India.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze choroidal thickness (CT), along with macular thickness (MT), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and macular vascular density (MVD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in children with unilateral amblyopia, and compare the same with normal fellow eyes and normal eyes of normal children before and following occlusion therapy.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal study of 60 children (4-18 years); 30 children had unilateral amblyopia and remaining 30 were normal. Group 1 consisted of 30 amblyopic eyes of children with unilateral amblyopia; Group 2 consisted of 30 fellow normal eyes of Group 1; Group 3 consisted of normal eyes of normal children.
