The measurement of vascularized retinal pigment epithelial detachment height with optical coherence tomography provides the clinician an expedient tool to gauge the relative risk of retinal pigment epithelial tears associated with bevacizumab injections, given the highly significant risk of preinjection vascularized pigment epithelial detachment height beyond 400 μm for this complication.

A cost-effectiveness analysis found pegaptanib to be more costly and less effective than photodynamic therapy. Ranibizumab was not only more effective but also more costlier than photodynamic therapy.

In this study, the authors analyze the angiographic (confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy technology) and corresponding (eye-tracked) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography features and propose a classification for the progressive phases establishing retinal–choroidal anastomosis. On the basis of our findings, early neovascularization arising from the choroid initially simply erodes the basement membrane/retinal pigment epithelium (Phase 1) and later breaks the basement membrane/retinal pigment epithelium, infiltrating first into the outer retina forming an early retinal–choroidal anastomosis (Phase 2) and later into the inner retina, forming an established retinal–choroidal anastomosis (Phase 3).

Normal macular thickness measurements were acquired on time-domain optical coherence tomography and three spectral/Fourier domain optical coherence tomography instruments. Reproducibility and incidence of layer segmentation artifacts were analyzed. Variability in measurements may be the result of differences in system calibration, scan protocols, segmentation algorithms, and current analysis functions.

The authors demonstrated that combined IVTa plus PRP and MPC in coexisting high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy and clinically significant macular edema have no significant beneficial effect on BCVA improvement and CMT reduction compared with standard treatment.

The addition of topical nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs to intravitreal triamcinolone and bevacizumab can potentiate improvements in chronic cystoid macular edema, but not all nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs exhibit this effect. Only nepafenac- and bromfenac-treated eyes showed sustained reductions in retinal thickness, and nepafenac was the only nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug to produce a sustained improvement in visual acuity.

Isovolemic hemodilution performed for the treatment of retinal vein occlusion did not induce significant change of subfoveal choroidal volume and blood flow in the eye with retinal vein occlusion or in the healthy contralateral eye. This study suggests the presence of vascular regulation to keep blood flow constant.

The authors found that aqueous vascular endothelial growth factor levels are higher in serous macular detachment than in cystoid macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. The authors' results suggest that excessive increase in vascular permeability because of vascular endothelial growth factor upregulation may contribute to the development of serous macular detachment secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.

The authors describe the challenges in preoperative evaluation, complexity of surgical maneuvers, and intricacies of postoperative management in eyes with Pintucci biointegrable keratoprosthesis requiring vitreoretinal intervention. Vitreoretinal surgery in such eyes is highly challenging and requires intricate planning and an integrated approach. It can result in good anatomical and functional outcomes.

After eye trauma, no light perception vision and relative afferent pupillary defect of 3 to 4+ alone may not be an indication for enucleation. Performing exploratory surgery within 14 days after the injury may salvage the globe and improve vision.

The addition of high-molecular-weight poly(dimethyl siloxane) to normal silicone oil tamponade agents increases the extensional viscosity of the tamponade agent and has the potential to increase its emulsification resistance without significantly increasing the shear viscosity, thereby maintaining ease of injection and removal.

This study provides an integrated clinical evaluation of type 2A idopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis (IJRT). Simultaneous acquisition of spectral domain OCT images with fundus autofluorescence, confocal blue reflectance, and fluorescein angiography images was achieved with perfect point-to-point correspondence. The new findings may further add to the understanding of morphologic alterations in type 2A IJRT.
