We aimed to investigate the incidence and prognosis of retinal injury in patients with lens dislocation caused by blunt eye trauma. We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients who underwent lensectomy and vitrectomy for contusive lens dislocation and had no preoperative retinal injuries. Patients were categorized according to the presence of retinal injury discovered intraoperatively. The clinical features of 53 eyes were assessed during a 3-month postoperative follow-up. Retinal injuries were observed intraoperatively in 28 patients (52.8%), predominantly in peripheral regions, with a single retinal tear being the most common type. Total lens dislocation was more frequent than subluxation in the group with retinal injuries. The intraocular pressure (IOP) at the 3-month follow-up was significantly lower than the initial IOP in both groups, with no significant differences between them. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) significantly improved in both groups without significant differences. Half of the patients without preoperative retinal injuries were found to have injuries during surgery. Total lens dislocation carried a greater risk of retinal injuries than subluxation. The improvement in CDVA after prompt retinal injury treatment did not significantly differ from that in patients without retinal injury, highlighting the importance of prompt intervention.

Current teleoperated robotic systems for retinal surgery cannot effectively control subtle tool-to-tissue interaction forces. This limitation may lead to patient injury caused by the surgeon's mistakes. To improve the safety of retinal surgery, this paper proposes a haptic shared control framework for teleoperation based on a force-constrained supervisory controller.

The eye represents a highly specialized organ, with its main function being to convert light signals into electrical impulses. Any damage or disease of the eye induces a local inflammatory reaction that could be harmful for the specialized ocular cells. Therefore, the eye developed several immunoregulatory mechanisms which protect the ocular structures against deleterious immune reactions.

Purpose: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is in most studies considered essential in avoiding secondary brain injury in patients with intracranial pathologies. Invasive monitoring of ICP is accurate but is unavailable in many clinical and prehospital settings. Non-invasive modalities have historically been difficult to implement clinically.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system, with varying clinical manifestations such as optic neuritis, sensory disturbances, and brainstem syndromes. Disease progression is monitored through methods like MRI scans, disability scales, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which can detect retinal thinning, even in the absence of optic neuritis. MS progression involves neurodegeneration, particularly trans-synaptic degeneration, which extends beyond the initial injury site.

The protease, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13), known to cleave only the von Willebrand factor (VWF), has powerful regulatory effects on microvascular platelet adhesion, thrombosis, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. We study the protection against diabetes-induced retinal injury in experimental rats by supplementation with recombinant ADAMTS13. We compare human epiretinal membranes and vitreous samples from nondiabetic subjects and patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and extend in vitro analyses with the use of various immunodetection and spectrofluorimetric methods on rat retina and human retinal glial and endothelial cell cultures.
