Myopic traction maculopathy in fovea-involved myopic chorioretinal atrophy.

Objectives: To assess the specific features of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) in the context of myopic macular atrophy (MA). The evolution, surgical considerations, optimal surgical procedures, and results were studied.

Methods: Retrospective, consecutive cases collection was performed for highly myopic eyes with MA (category 4, the classification system of META-analysis for Pathologic Myopia).

Evaluation of peripheral retinal degenerations using ultra-widefield swept source optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To describe the features of peripheral retinal degenerations using an Ultra-Widefield (UWF) Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT).

Method: In this cross-sectional study done at a tertiary eye care centre in Northern India, peripheral retinal degenerations such as lattices, snail track lesion, paving stone, White With-Out Pressure(WWOP), micro-cystoid lesions, retinoschisis and other suspicious lesions were identified with clinical examination. Following clinical examination, these eyes with peripheral retinal degenerations underwent UWF OCT.

Multimodal imaging and histopathological evaluation in silicone oil keratopathy.

Purpose: To describe features in silicone oil keratopathy using multimodal imaging and histopathological examination.

Methods: Case report.

Result: A 21-year-old male developed right corneal decompensation in the heavy SO (HSO)-filled eye.

Improving the Identification of Diabetic Retinopathy and Related Conditions in the Electronic Health Record Using Natural Language Processing Methods.

Purpose: To compare the performance of 3 phenotyping methods in identifying diabetic retinopathy (DR) and related clinical conditions.

Design: Three phenotyping methods were used to identify clinical conditions including unspecified DR, nonproliferative DR (NPDR) (mild, moderate, severe), consolidated NPDR (unspecified DR or any NPDR), proliferative DR, diabetic macular edema (DME), vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment (RD) (tractional RD or combined tractional and rhegmatogenous RD), and neovascular glaucoma (NVG). The first method used only International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes ().

A Novel Technique Using Lyophilized Amniotic Membrane Patch (LAMPatch) as Primary Procedure in Patients with Myopic Traction Maculopathy with Macular Detachment.

Introduction: Maculopathy secondary to pathologic myopia (PM) is increasingly causing visual impairment and blindness worldwide. PM is associated with tractional maculopathy that ranges from macular foveoschisis to macular hole. These disorders are treated with different options that offer variable results, reflecting the need for new techniques that address myopic maculopathy with consistent outcomes.

Historical and practical aspects of macular buckle surgery in the treatment of myopic tractional maculopathy: case series and literature review.

Background: Uncorrected myopia is a leading cause of blindness globally, with a rising prevalence in recent decades. Pathological myopia, often seen in individuals with increased axial length (AXL), can result in severe structural changes in the posterior pole, including myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM). MTM arises from tractional forces at the vitreoretinal interface, leading to progressive macular retinoschisis, macular holes, and retinal detachment (RD).

INFERIOR RETINAL DETACHMENT REPAIR USING VITRECTOMY WITH OR WITHOUT SCLERAL BUCKLING.

Purpose: To compare outcomes in inferior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or PPV with scleral buckle (PPV-SB).

Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for inferior RRD at a tertiary care center between 2014 and 2018 were included. Inferior RRD was defined as RD with tears between 4:00 and 8:00 clock hours in a detached retina.

Retisert implantation without incisional sclerotomy in patients with uveitis and extensive pars plana fibrosis.

Purpose: To describe an alternate surgical technique for fluocinolone acetonide (Retisert) implantation in patients with extensive pars plana and pars plicata fibrosis secondary to chronic non-infectious uveitis.

Methods: This retrospective, interventional case series included five eyes of four patients who had poorly controlled chronic non-infectious uveitis. Retisert was implanted successfully using a novel approach.

Vitrectomy for cases of diabetic retinopathy.

Microvascular complications of diabetic retinopathy (DR) may require surgical intervention in the form of vitrectomy. Since its inception, diabetic vitrectomy has evolved with introduction of better instruments, newer techniques, and smaller port sizes. Common indications for diabetic vitrectomy include nonresolving vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, progression of fibrovascular membranes despite laser therapy, recalcitrant diabetic macular edema, and neovascular glaucoma.

Retinal Focal Nodular Gliosis (Vasoproliferative Tumors) Have Varied Clinical Courses Requiring Tailored Management: A Case Series.

Introduction: Retinal focal nodular gliosis (FNG), also known as vasoproliferative tumors (VPTs), are rare, benign vascular tumors associated with exudation with no current consensus on management. Herein, we describe the varied clinical course and management of 3 patients with retinal FNG, one of whom is associated with retinitis pigmentosa.

Case Presentations: Case 1 is a 76-year-old female who presented with reduced vision and distortion secondary to a vitreous hemorrhage and epiretinal membrane (ERM) as complications of a known small peripheral retinal FNG.

Differential distribution of fibrovascular proliferative membranes in 25-gauge vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Aim: To analyze the distribution of fibrovascular proliferative membranes (FVPMs) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients that treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and to evaluate the outcomes separately.

Methods: This was a retrospective and cross-sectional study. Consecutive 25-gauge (25-G) PPV cases operated for PDR from May 2018 to April 2020.

Glue-Assisted Retinopexy for Retinal Detachments Study Report 2: Fibrin Glue As a Surgical Adjunct in Complex Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

To present the successful application of fibrin glue as a surgical adjunct in the management of complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In this retrospective case series, fibrin glue was used as a surgical adjunct in 5 cases of complex RRD. In each case, standard pars plana vitrectomy and laser retinopexy were performed by the same surgeon.
