PURPOSE: To investigate the types of intraretinal cysts that are associated with epiretinal membranes and to evaluate the effects of each type of intraretinal cyst on postoperative outcomes. METHODS: Retrospective, cross-sectional study design. Patients who underwent preoperative fluorescent angiography and epiretinal membrane surgery from February 2014 to May 2019 were included. Intraretinal cysts were subdivided into cystoid macular edema with angiographic leakage and microcystic macular edema

Simultaneous rescue and sutureless intrascleral haptic fixation of dislocated 3-piece IOLs using bimanual maneuvers is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive surgical method to rescue and fixate the dislocated IOL without further explant.

Both 23-G and 25-G MIVS yielded comparable visual outcomes for surgical treatment of idiopathic epiretinal membrane in pseudophakic eyes. The 25-G MIVS was associated with faster visual recovery and less postoperative hypotony than 23-G surgery.

BACKGROUND: A low ankle-brachial index (ABI) is predictive of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). For unknown reasons, patients with PAD demonstrate higher vascular mortality during follow-up than do those without. Initial stroke severity is a strong predictor of long-term outcome and may be different between patients with and without PAD. Thus, we investigated whether a low ABI was associated with severe stroke presentation. METHODS: We enrolled 1147 first-ever ischaemic stroke patients who unde

Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is a rare disorder that presents with abrupt visual change with wedge-shaped or flower-like lesions pointing towards the fovea. Ischemic insults to the retinal capillary plexus may be important for development of this disease. While many case reports have been published on AMN, none have described AMN in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we report a case of AMN associated with newly-diagnosed SLE. We speculate that in patients with lu

Background/Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of several optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings to estimate choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) activity in pathological myopia using fluorescein angiography (FA) as a reference. Methods This was a single-centre, retrospective study. The medical records of patients with active myopic CNV who received intravitreal bevacizumab treatment were reviewed. Parameters to monitor CNV activity were morphological features of CNV on

Sudden loss of vision after injection of botulinum toxin into the extraocular muscle may suggest a serious complication, and a prompt, thorough ophthalmic examination should be performed. If improvements are not observed, rapid surgical intervention is recommended to prevent additional complications.

(1) Background: To analyze changes in treatment patterns for advanced retinoblastoma over time and differences in globe salvage rates; (2) Methods: Retrospective, observational case-control study of 97 eyes of 91 patients with advanced retinoblastoma (Group D and E).; (3) Results: Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they were treated before or after intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) was introduced in our center in 2010. Before 2010, primary treatment pattern was enucleation, wh

In patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ocular extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) are less common than EIM of other systems, but they are clinically important because they can lead to complications that can cause catastrophic damage to the visual acuity and ocular structure. Anterior uveitis and episcleritis are the most common ocular EIM. Involvement of the orbit, posterior segment, and optic nerve can also occur. A variety of treatments are available ranging from topical steroids

Purpose: To investigate identifiable peripheral retinal lesions in patients with myopia or high myopia and to evaluate the usefulness of ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscope in retina clinic settings. Methods: We evaluated fundus images of 149 patients acquired using an ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscope.

Most posterior scleritis patients were of non-infectious type and some needed additional immunosuppressive treatment. In patients with a history of ocular surgery or trauma, especially with the presence of pus-containing nodules, infectious posterior scleritis should always be considered. Since impaired vision does not improve significantly after treatment of posterior scleritis, prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment are recommended.
