This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups.

Article Synopsis
- A multicenter survey in Japan studied visually impaired patients with diabetes mellitus to identify factors leading to blindness.
- The research involved 408 patients, revealing that younger individuals (72.1% under 70) were significantly impacted and highlighting the prevalence of severe eye conditions in the blind group, such as neovascular glaucoma and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
- Findings underscore the need for regular eye exams and proper treatment to monitor and manage diabetic retinopathy effectively.

J-CREST (Japan Clinical Retina Study group), Kagoshima, Japan.
Purpose: We investigated potential risk factors for visual prognosis in Japanese patients with exogenous endophthalmitis.
Methods: In this retrospective observational multicenter cohort study, risk factors for legal blindness at 12 weeks after treatment initiation were evaluated based on patient characteristics, initial BCVA, causative events, pathogens, ocular symptoms, duration from symptom onset to initial treatment, and selected treatments.
Results: Overall, 23.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for diabetic macular edema (DME) improves visual acuity. However, repeated injections during routine outpatient visits are required to maintain this effect. The recent sudden global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a major impact on daily life, including medical care, such as the provision of VEGF therapy.

Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy (DR) including diabetic macular edema (DME) are representative microvascular complications of diabetes. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study analyzing records from patients with DR (132 eyes in 70 patients) and end-stage renal diseases (ESRD) who underwent hemodialysis for the first time. We demonstrated that the central retinal thickness (CRT) values were significantly decreased (p < 0.

Methods: This was a multicentre retrospective study of the medical records of 1252 patients (676 men (758 eyes); mean age: 63.8 ± 12.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate real-world outcomes of surgical procedures for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in young Japanese patients.
- The research involved analyzing the medical records of 562 patients from 2013 to 2016, focusing on two main surgical techniques: scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
- Results showed both surgeries had comparable success rates in reattaching the retina, but PPV had a higher risk of complications like cataract formation.
