To investigate pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors influencing postoperative visual acuity, degree of metamorphopsia, and retinal sensitivity after vitrectomy in patients with rhegmatogenous retin...
We reviewed retrospectively 33 consecutive eyes of 32 patients, who underwent vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with foveal detachment between August 2018 and October 2020 and obtained ...
Preoperative total retinal detachment was the only factor significantly associated with worse best-corrected visual acuity at 1-year postoperatively (β = 0.589, P<0.001). Intraoperative internal limit...
Our study findings suggest that best-corrected visual acuity, metamorphopsia, and retinal sensitivity at 1 year after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with foveal detachment are influe...
Four clinical cases of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) are described. All the patients were men who came to the emergency serv...
Outer retinal folds occur when outer retinal corrugations (ORCs) persist after retinal reattachment with worse functional outcomes. We investigate the pathophysiology of ORCs in vivo....
Prospective cohort study....
Patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presenting to St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, between August 2020 and February 2022 were assessed with swept-source optical cohe...
Sixty-six patients were included. More than half (60.6%, 40/66) were fovea-off and 48.4% (32/66) had ORCs at presentation. All eyes (32/32) with ORCs had retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-photoreceptor...
ORCs develop with (1) acute exposure of subretinal space to liquified vitreous, (2) for >2 days, that (3) overwhelms RPE capacity, leading to progressive and extensive RRD. Mathematical models suggest...
The aim of this study was to determine symptom-level risk factors for retinal tear/retinal detachment (RT/RD) in our patients presenting with symptoms of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)....
We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients presenting to outpatient ophthalmology clinics at a single academic institution with complaint(s) of flashes, floaters, and/or subjective field loss...
We recruited 237 patients (age 20-93 years) from March 2018 to March 2019. The most common diagnosis was PVD (141, 59.5%), followed by vitreous syneresis (38, 16.0%) and RT/RD (34, 14.3%). Of those wi...
While well-known demographic and exam-based risk factors for RT/RD exist in patients with PVD symptoms, the relative importance of symptom characteristics is less clear. We found that the presence of ...
Giant retinal tear-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (GRT-RRD) presents a significant surgical challenge. Trauma stands out as one of the risk factors. This retrospective case series aims t...
To investigate hyperreflective dots (HRDs) on baseline OCT in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)....
Retrospective cohort study....
Consecutive primary fovea-off RRDs presenting between January 2012 and September 2022....
Visual acuity (VA) was obtained at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Baseline foveal OCT scans were graded for the presence of HRDs in the outer retina, morphologic stage of RRD in the parafovea, and fov...
The primary outcome was the proportion of patients in each morphologic stage with HRDs present on OCT and their association with postoperative VA. Secondary outcomes included association with the heig...
A total of 351 patients were included. The presence of HRDs by morphologic stage of RRD was 0% in stage 1, 4.5% (2/42) in stage 2, 13% (7/54) in stage 3a, 16% (20/126) in stage 3b, 48% (40/83) in stag...
Hyperreflective dots have been hypothesized to consist of intraretinal inflammatory cells. We found that HRDs were significantly associated with the morphologic stage, extent, duration, and height of ...

To investigate the effect of isovolumetric and expansile gas tamponade concentrations on single surgery anatomical success (SSAS) and day 1 intraocular pressure (IOPD1) following pars plana vitrectomy...
We conducted a single-centre retrospective continuous and comparative study on eyes that had undergone small-gauge PPV using isovolumetric versus expansile gas for PRD repair between 2011 and 2020 at ...
From 456 eyes, PSM analysis matched 240 eyes with 120 in each group. The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 96 (59 to 218) days. The SSAS was 229/240 (95.8%) overall; 115/120 (95.8%) and 114/1...
Expansile gas concentration does not impact SSAS but is associated with significantly raised IOPD1 with no reduction in hypotony rates following PPV for primary PRD....
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is the most common form of retinal detachment (RD), affecting 1 in 10,000 patients per year. The condition has significant ocular morbidity, with a sizeable pro...
To present a rare case of ocular involvement in a child with Frank-ter Haar syndrome (FTHS) presenting retinal detachment....
Detailed ophthalmological evaluation including examination under general anesthesia, ocular ultrasound, and visual evoked potential testing was completed. Photographic documentation of the physical fi...
A 3-year-old female patient with FTHS was referred to evaluate for possible ophthalmic involvement. The patient presented with the classical dysmorphic abnormalities of the syndrome. Ophthalmologic ev...
FTHS is associated with multiple ocular involvement such as megalocornea, congenital glaucoma, or colobomas. This case report is the first to describe a high, against-the-rule astigmatism and retinal ...
The management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment has rapidly evolved over recent decades. A range of surgical techniques exist, all of which can achieve retinal reattachment in most cases. In recen...
