Highlights from this issue

Cataracts induced by neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser lysis of vitreous floaters (see page XXX) The authors highlight the formation of cataracts with posterior capsular compromise—after neodymium–yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters—a potentially serious and undesirable complication of the procedure. Vitrectomy with and without encircling band for pseudophakic retinal detachment: VIPER study report no. 2 â "main results (see page XXX) Additional scleral buckling is not superior to vitrectomy alone in pseudophacic retinal detachment. Sutureless surgery is not inferior to 20 G vitrectomy. The role of internal limiting membrane peeling in epiretinal membrane surgery. A randomized controlled trial. (see page XXX) This two-centre, randomised, controlled clinical trial compared the anatomical and functional outcomes after primary idiopathic epiretinal membrane peeling with or without internal limiting membrane peeling. The result suggests that ILM peeling in ERM surgery does not improve visual outcome at 12 months.
