This was a retrospective study. All subjects underwent a complete ocular examination, ultra-widefield (UWF) pseudocolor fundus photography and Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) wit...
Twenty-six eyes of 25 subjects were scanned and 29 CRTs were analyzed for SD-OCT characteristics. On SD-OCT images, the CRTs exhibited hyperreflective irregular elevated lesions with internal hyporefl...
The widefield SD-OCT imaging can provide detailed cross-sectional anatomic information of CRT and may guide clinical treatment....
Retinal detachment (RD) is one of the most common, sight-threatening ocular conditions requiring emergency intervention. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs in the majority of an aging populati...
To investigate the clinical characteristics of retinal honeycomb appearance in a large cohort of patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and to determine whether it is associated with complication...
A retrospective observational case series. A chart review of medical records, wide-field fundus imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on 78 patients (153 eyes) diagnosed with X...
Thirty-eight patients (48.7%), and 60 eyes (39.2%) had a honeycomb appearance of different areas on the fundus. The supratemporal quadrant was the most commonly affected (45 eyes, 75.0%), followed by ...
The data suggest that the honeycomb appearance is not uncommon in patients with XLRS and is more likely to be accompanied by an RRD, and inner and outer layer breaks, thus should be treated with cauti...
To evaluate the risk of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in the fellow eye using posterior hyaloid status as determined by OCT at the time of initial RRD....
Retrospective chart review....
Patients with a diagnosis of RRD....
Posterior hyaloid status-presence or absence of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)-in both eyes at the time of initial RRD was determined by OCT imaging. Baseline characteristics, including lattice...
The main outcome measures were the development of fellow-eye RRD and the time to fellow-eye RRD. In addition, OCT imaging was used in those fellow eyes with a visible posterior hyaloid to document whe...
A total of 1049 patients with an RRD were followed up for an average of 5.7 ± 0.3 years. Overall, 153 patients (14.6%) received a diagnosis of bilateral sequential RRD during this follow-up period. OC...
OCT imaging of the fellow eye at the time of presentation with an RRD offers a significant amount of information regarding risk stratification for RRD in this eye. Patients noted to have a completely ...

The purpose is to report the second case, to our knowledge, of suspected paclitaxel-induced phototoxic maculopathy following pars plana vitrectomy surgery....
63-year-old phakic female who underwent an uneventful phaco-vitrectomy to treat a complete macular hole, developing macular phototoxicity in the post-operatively period that could not be explained by ...
The use of paclitaxel has been widely extended as a chemotherapy drug to treat breast cancer. It works by altering the intracellular microtubular reorganization and, based on this mechanism of action,...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new surgical technique for the management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), consisting of localized PPV near the retinal break(s), without in...
Multicentric prospective study conducted at the University Hospital of Cagliari and IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, Roma. Twenty eyes affected by RRD with the causative retinal ...
Primary anatomic success at 6 months was achieved by 85% of patients. No complications occurred, except for three (15%) retinal re-detachments. The average surgical time was 8.61 ± 2.16 min. Overall, ...
Two-port dry PPV demonstrated safety and efficacy for the treatment of RRD, reaching an 85% of anatomical success rate. Although further studies are necessary to confirm the efficacy and long-term ben...
It has been reported that the retinal vessel and macular region of the retina are displaced after macular hole (MH) surgery. However, there is no detailed information for correlations between retinal ...
The purpose of this article is to determine if outcomes in patients presenting with retinal tears with bridging vessels (BVs) differ from those without BVs....
A case control study of all patients presenting with retinal tears during a 3-year period was completed. Comparisons were made between patients with and without BVs. Variables included vitreous hemorr...
There was a significant increase in the number of patients with a VH at presentation (75% vs 28%;...
The presence of a BV is an important prognostic indicator for risk of delayed VH. Documenting the presence of a BV allows for appropriate patient counseling....
To evaluate and compare surgical outcomes for syndromes with optically empty vitreous (SOEV)-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachments....
A retrospective, cross-sectional, 2-arm study of a single pediatric vitreoretinal surgeon's patients from a quaternary referral center with SOEV was performed to examine visual and anatomical outcomes...
Patients identified either through slit-lamp examination (presence of an optically empty or void space in the vitreous gel structure) or genetic testing. Fifty-six eyes of 49 patients were identified ...
Comparison of initial retinal detachment (RD) surgical repair via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), scleral buckle (SB), or PPV-SB with final anatomical success, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and nu...
Visual acuity, surgical repair techniques (PPV, SB, PPV-SB), number of surgeries, anatomical retinal reattachment success....
Initial SB had statistically significant better final BCVA (P < 0.01) and better final anatomical success (P < 0.01). No statistical difference in the number of surgeries needed to achieve anatomical ...
Initial SB yields better overall outcomes in SOEV presenting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Stickler Type-1 patients had similar outcomes compared with other SOEV, suggesting both populations...

Accurate localization of retinal holes is essential for successful scleral buckling (SB) surgery. We aimed to verify the feasibility of using ultra-wide-field (UWF) imaging for preoperative estimation...
We observed 21 eyes from 21 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who underwent successful SB. They were treated at the Department of Ophthalmology of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medi...
There was no statistically significant difference in the scleral chord length between the retinal holes and the limbus, which was estimated by preoperative UWF fundus photography and was measured by t...
It is feasible to locate retinal holes using UWF fundus photography before SB, which is helpful for quick localization, thereby reducing the learning curve of SB surgery....
