Purpose: To evaluate an alternative surgical approach for Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) implant and a novel application of Iridex laser system in Gottingen minipig model.
Methods: A total of seventeen male minipigs (Part 1: 9 animals in non-recovery and Part 2: 8 animals observed for 8-days post-surgery Part 2) received PDS implant insertion into each eye. The effect of Iridex 810 nm infrared diode laser with varying energy (power or duration) on transscleral pars plana ablation, surrounding ocular tissue and postsurgical vitreous hemorrhage (VH) was investigated.
Results: The most effective laser parameters for transscleral pars plana ablation in mitigating vitreous hemorrhage with no surrounding tissue damage were continuous wave mode, 1750 mW, 1000 ms, and 16 spots (8 overlapping spots/sweep applied over 2 rows) across a 4 mm segment, posterior to the limbus, delivering a total energy of 28 J. Minimal self-limiting scleral hemorrhage was observed with two of the implants and no VH were observed. µCT imaging was consistent with clinical ophthalmic.
Observations: On microscopic observations, no tissue damage was observed at these laser settings.
Conclusion: This Göttingen minipig model demonstrated a novel application of Iridex laser for transscleral pars plana ablation that streamlines the PDS implantation surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined ocular tumor lysis syndrome (OTLS) in patients with uveal melanoma, based on a retrospective review of cases at the University of Colorado from 2009 to 2021.
- Seven patients, primarily aged 59, showed significant tumor characteristics and common complications after I-125 brachytherapy, including extensive pigment dispersion and various forms of retinal detachment.
- Despite treatment, visual outcomes were poor for most, with only four patients stable at follow-up, and three deaths due to metastasis related to their tumors.
Scleral flaps, pars plana vitrectomy and gore-tex sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens placement: a case series and review of literature.

Introduction: Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Intraocular lens (IOL) implants are placed routinely in the capsular bag after successful cataract extraction. However, in the absence of adequate capsular support, IOL may be placed in the anterior chamber, fixated to the iris or fixated to the sclera.

Background: Dislocated IOL exchange conventionally involves manipulation within the anterior chamber which risks secondary injury to anterior chamber structures. We describe and evaluate a 4-haptic IOL rescue technique that avoids entering the anterior chamber and thus minimizes post operative inflammation, astigmatism and recovery time relative to conventional IOL explantation and replacement techniques.
Methods: Retrospective, non-randomized, interventional study of all patients undergoing 4-haptic IOL rescue performed by two independent vitreoretinal surgeons at a single UK centre over two years.
Surgical Treatment of Neovascular Glaucoma Secondary to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in Japanese Patients without the Use of Glaucoma Drainage Devices.

The purpose of this study is to investigate outcomes of visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)-associated neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in Japanese patients treated with surgical therapies without the use of glaucoma drainage devices. A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted for 31 consecutive PDR-associated NVG patients who underwent surgical treatments in our institution between 2013 and 2022. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, VA, and IOP were recorded at the first and last visits, and surgical procedures, including pars plana vitrectomy with extensive panretinal and ciliary photocoagulation (PPV-PRCP), diode laser trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (DCPC), and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (TLE-MMC), with or without a prior intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection, were reviewed.
