Treatment Outcome of Macular Hole Associated with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Background: Macular holes are an infrequent association with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, increasing the complexity of surgery and affecting outcome.

Aim: To report the visual outcome, macular hole (MH) closure, and retinal reattachment rate after vitrectomy with silicone oil plus different MH closure techniques for MH associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to compare the visual outcome between the techniques.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, comparative study.

Clinical presentation and macular morphology in retinitis pigmentosa patients.

Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, frequently used imaging technology that enables detailed viewing of retina anatomy. It is used to monitor disease progression in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) eyes, including detecting changes in retinal thickness.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine the clinical presentation and macular morphology in RP eyes using OCT imaging.

Neuroprotection for Nonarteritic Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: Lessons from Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Nonarteritic central retinal artery occlusion (NA-CRAO) is a variant of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and is a cause of sudden severe loss of vision. There are guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association for the care of CRAO patients. This review explores the basis of retinal neuroprotection for CRAO and its potential for improving the outcome of NA-CRAO.
