PURPOSE: Limited vitrectomy improves vision degrading myodesopsia (VDM), but the incidence of recurrent floaters post-operatively is not known. We studied patients with recurrent central floaters using ultrasonography and contrast sensitivity (CS) testing to characterize this subgroup and identify the clinical profile of patients at risk of recurrent floaters. METHODS: 286 eyes (203 patients, 60.6±12.9 years old) undergoing limited vitrectomy for VDM were studied retrospectively...

PURPOSE: To investigate povidone-iodine's (PI) temporal efficacy and sterility against bacteria associated with post-injection endophthalmitis in an in vitro study. METHODS: A single PI bottle was opened and tested for sterility and antibacterial efficacy. PI from the open bottle was inoculated onto a blood agar plate (BAP) and evaluated for growth 24 hours later to test sterility; this was repeated for five consecutive days. To test for antibacterial efficacy, PI was instilled onto the surface of plates of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, and Haemophilus species...

PURPOSE: To describe the phenotypic variability and rates of progression of atrophy in patients with PROM1-associated macular dystrophy (PAMD). METHODS: Patients in this retrospective, longitudinal case series from a tertiary center had clinical exam and multi-modal imaging performed. Areas of retinal pigment epithelium and ellipsoid zone loss over time via OCT were calculated by two independent graders. RESULTS: Fifteen patients from five kindreds with an Arg373Cys mutation in PROM1 were studied...

BACKGROUND Although modern minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery has improved visual outcomes, post-operative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and hypotony remain a cause of poor visual results1,2. The migration and proliferation of retinal pigment epithelial cells and the invading immune cells lead to the formation of adherent membranes3. To prevent worsening of PVR and suppress intraocular inflammation, intravitreal triamcinolone, or in some cases, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) have been used4,5...

PURPOSE: To determine baseline patient characteristics that predict need for glaucoma surgery or blindness in eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) despite intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of patients with NVG who had not previously received glaucoma surgery and were treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections at the time of diagnosis, from 9/8/11 to 5/8/20 at a large, retina subspeciality practice...

PURPOSE: Intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the standard of care for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). However, a small subgroup of patients still experience severe visual impairment, which may be related to the number of IVI administered. METHODS: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from patients with sudden severe visual decline (≥15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study [ETDRS] letters loss between two consecutive IVIs) during anti-VEGF treatment for nAMD...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the pathological process of intraretinal glioses by investigating mass tissues resected from untreated eyes with intraretinal glioses. METHODS: Five patients with intraretinal gliosis without previous conservative treatment were included. All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy. The mass tissues were excised and processed for pathological study. RESULTS: During surgery, we observed that the intraretinal gliosis mainly affected the neuroretina and the retinal pigment epithelium was not affected...

PURPOSE: To introduce a new surgical technique with a beveled vitrectomy probe for the removal of peripheral vitreous cortex remnants (VCR) in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: This study was a retrospective case series. From September 2019 to June 2022, 54 patients with complete or partial posterior vitreous detachment that underwent vitrectomy for primary RRD by a single surgeon were enrolled. DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE: After staining the vitreous with triamcinolone acetonide, the presence of VCR was assessed in detail...

PURPOSE: To review the literature on eyes with concurrent rhegmatogenous retinal and choroidal detachment (RRD-CD). METHODS: Several databases were searched for "rhegmatogenous retinal detachment" AND "choroidal detachment" through October 2022. All English language primary literature was reviewed.

PURPOSE: We assessed outcomes of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) that switched from proactive (treat-and-extend) to reactive (pro re nata) treatment regimen after developing macular atrophy (MA) or submacular fibrosis (SMFi). METHODS: Data were collected from a retrospective analysis of a prospectively designed, multinational registry of "real-world" nAMD treatment outcomes. Eyes without MA or SMFi when starting treatment with a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor regimen that subsequently developed MA or SMFi were included...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of anterior segment optical coherent tomography (AS OCT) in estimating the length of the pars plana and optimizing sclerotomy entry site in vitrectomy for highly myopic eyes, facilitating membrane peeling. METHODS: 23 eyes with myopic traction maculopathy were studied. The pars plana was examined using 2 methods: preoperative AS OCT; and intraoperative measurement. The distance from the limbus to the ora serrata in 2 groups was measured to compare differences in length...
