Extending the Limbus-to-Cannula Distance to 6.0 mm During Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Highly Myopic Eyes
Conclusion:
Extending the limbus-to-cannula distance to 6.0 mm during pars plana vitrectomy could be one of the options to reach the posterior pole in highly myopic eyes. A preoperatively measured CF distance can be a clinical criterion in determining the cannula position. (Source: RETINA)

Visual prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in behÇet uveitis
This study comprised 114 eyes from 114 patients diagnosed with Behçet uveitis. Ophthalmologic evaluations and biochemical measurements including NLR and PLR values were consecutively obtained at each visit. Patients were divided into good and poor visual outcome groups, based on the visual acuity of 0.5 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution in the worse-seeing eyes at the last visit. Factors associated with poor visual outcomes were analyzed, and optimal cutoff values of NLR and PLR were also evaluated.
Results:
Sixty-six eyes (57.9%) were included in the good visual outcome group. Multivariate regression an...

Evidence against a contralateral coats phenotype by optical coherence tomography angiography
Conclusion:
The foveal avascular zone is enlarged, and vascular density is decreased in affected eyes with Coats disease, but no differences are seen between fellow and control eyes, confirming the unilateral nature of the disease. (Source: RETINA)

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHOROIDAL METASTASES: A Case Series and Meta-analysis
Purpose:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of choroidal metastasis.
Methods:
We conducted a systematic review of all reported cases of choroidal metastases treated with PDT in literature, and included the cases from our institution, for a comprehensive meta-analysis.
Results:
We identified 52 tumors in 40 eyes of 34 patients. The mean age was 60 years (range 28–77). The mean tumor thickness was 1.9 mm (range 0–4.8 mm), whereas the mean largest basal diameter was 8.2 mm (range 1.5–30 mm) on presentation. After an average of 1.4 treatment visit, PDT ...

The novel use of high-flow polyimide cannulas to improve silicone oil injectability in vitreoretinal surgery
Conclusion:
Polyimide cannulas allow a clinically relevant decrease in injection time. They may not only shorten surgery time but could also ease the use of next-generation ultra-high-viscosity silicone oils. Prewarming silicone oil leads to decreased injection times. (Source: RETINA)

Outcomes in primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair using pars plana vitrectomy with or without scleral buckle
Purpose:
To compare outcomes after primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or PPV with scleral buckle (PPV-SB).
Methods:
This is a retrospective cohort study with propensity score analysis in a single tertiary care center between 2014 and 2018 comparing patients with primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repaired using PPV only or PPV-SB (full cohort: n = 1,516, propensity-matched cohort: n = 908). The primary outcome was single surgery anatomic success, whereas secondary outcomes were 3-month and final pinhole visual acuity in logarithm ...

THREE-DIMENSIONAL HEAD-UP DISPLAY VERSUS STANDARD OPERATING MICROSCOPE FOR VITRECTOMY SURGERY: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion:
Our results suggested that 3D HUD provides lower retinal illumine toxicities but with a longer surgical time. The surgical results and complications of vitrectomy were equally comparable for 3D HUD and SOM. (Source: RETINA)

Incidence and risk factors of postoperative endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair combined with intraocular foreign body removal
Conclusion:
The incidence of infectious endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair combined with IOFB removal (≤24 hours) was 3.70% in patients who received a series of standard treatments, and B. cereus infection might be a risk factor. (Source: RETINA)

Clinical presentations, microbiology, and factors affecting management outcomes in lens abscess with concurrent endophthalmitis
This study included 102 eyes, predominantly male (71.6%). All cases were posttrauma. The mean age noted was 30.47 ± 19.51 years. Presenting vision was logMAR 3.02 ± 0.74 (median 3.5, Snellen 20/63245). A favorable anatomical outcome was seen in 63 eyes (61.8%), while a final favorable functional outcome was seen in 51 eyes (50%). The mean follow-up duration was 10.04 ± 10.87 months (median 4.5). Final vision was logMAR 2.13 ± 1.32 (median 2.7, Snellen 20/10023) (P (Source: RETINA)

Elevated level of uric acid, but not glucose, in aqueous humor as a risk factor for diabetic macular edema in patients with type 2 diabetes
Purpose:
To determine the association of uric acid (UA) and glucose in aqueous humor with diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Methods:
Patients with DME or diabetes mellitus without retinopathy were enrolled from August 2016 to December 2020. Nondiabetic patients with age-related cataract or age-related macular degeneration were included as controls.
Results:
A total of 585 eyes from 585 patients were included for this study. Statistical analysis showed that aqueous UA was associated with central retinal thickness (r = 0.39, P (Source: RETINA)
