*Ophthalmic Clinic "Jasne Blonia", Lodz, Poland; and †Ophthalmic Department, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether a modified technique for peeling the internal limiting membrane (ILM) during surgery is as effective as the traditional method for repairing large Stage IV macular holes.
- 87 patients were divided into two groups: one receiving the classic inverted ILM flap technique and the other receiving a modified version that only peeled the ILM on the temporal side.
- Results showed no significant differences in visual outcomes between the two groups, suggesting the modified technique is equally effective, with fewer complications related to the optic nerve layer.

The outer choroidoscleral boundary in full-thickness macular holes before and after surgery-a swept-source OCT study.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
December 2015
Ophthalmic Clinic "Jasne Blonia", ul. Rojna 90, Lodz, 91-162, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined choroidal thickness and the structure of the outer choroidoscleral boundary in patients with full-thickness macular holes both before and after surgery.
- Choroidal thickness remained consistent across patients with macular holes, their fellow eyes, and healthy controls, while irregularities in the choroidoscleral boundary were more common in patients with macular holes.
- The research suggests that changes in the outer choroidoscleral boundary may contribute to the development of full-thickness macular holes, highlighting a potential link between the choroid and the condition.
Choroidal thickness measured with swept source optical coherence tomography before and after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membranes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates changes in choroidal thickness in patients with epiretinal membranes (ERMs) before and after vitrectomy, finding significant reductions post-surgery.
- The research involved 21 patients, using advanced imaging techniques to measure choroidal thickness and compare results between the operated and unaffected eyes.
- Results showed that while mean choroidal thickness in study and fellow eyes was similar, a notable decrease was recorded three months after surgery, suggesting a potential link between choroidal thickness and ERM presence.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of switching to one dose of aflibercept in patients who did not respond to bevacizumab after multiple monthly treatments.
- Visual acuity improved significantly after the switch, with 47% of patients seeing at least a 5-letter gain on a vision chart, and central retinal thickness also decreased.
- The findings suggest that administering aflibercept can enhance both visual and anatomic outcomes in patients previously unresponsive to bevacizumab.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify early signs of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the fellow eyes of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
- Over a 48-month period, researchers conducted monthly SD-OCT scans on 68 patients and found notable morphological changes in the retina that appeared at least one month before the onset of CNV.
- The findings suggest that regular SD-OCT monitoring can help in swiftly detecting CNV formation, potentially leading to more timely treatment interventions.

*Ophthalmic Clinic "Jasne Blonia," Lodz, Poland; and †III Municipal Hospital K. Jonscher, Ophthalmic Department, Lodz, Poland.
Purpose: To define the morphology of outer choroidal margins in swept-source optical coherence tomography.
Methods: This is a prospective observational study of 180 eyes: 20 eyes of healthy volunteers, 20 eyes of myopic patients, and 20 eyes from each of the following groups: macular hole, lamellar macular hole, epiretinal membranes, drusen, dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), neovascular AMD, and vitreomacular traction. A single 12-mm wide swept-source optical coherence tomography image for each of the examined eyes consisting of 1,024 A-scans has been created.

Article Synopsis
- The study used swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to measure choroidal thickness and volume in healthy eyes.
- A total of 122 patients were examined, with specific scans focusing on the fovea and measurements of choroidal thickness conducted both manually and automatically.
- Results indicated that choroidal thickness is greatest under the fovea and correlates significantly with age and axial length, providing a useful tool for tracking changes in choroidal abnormalities over time.

December 2013
Ophthalmic Clinic Jasne Blonia, Lodz, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on vision improvement and ocular structure in diabetic retinopathy complications.
- Group A (53 patients) underwent PPV with ILM peeling, while Group B (59 patients) had PPV without it, with postoperative assessments carried out via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
- Results showed similar visual acuity improvements, but Group A had less macular edema, fewer epiretinal membranes, and required fewer additional surgeries compared to Group B.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a 77-year-old woman who underwent macular hole surgery after having previously lost normal breathing due to thyroid surgery complications.
- The surgery utilized the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique combined with silicone oil to effectively close the macular hole, which initially remained open after the first attempt.

Non-full-thickness macular holes: a closer look.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging
May 2012
Ophthalmic Clinic Jasne Blonia, Lodz, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Lamellar macular holes and macular pseudoholes are non-full-thickness defects in the retina that affect central vision, with links to various ocular conditions.
- Initially, lamellar holes were thought to come from diabetic macular edema, while pseudoholes were considered idiopathic; recent advancements in technology have clarified their causes.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on thorough eye examinations and imaging, and surgical treatment can enhance visual acuity and improve the structure of the affected area in most cases.
