Effects of intravitreal bevacizumab therapy on glomerular filtration rates in patients treated for proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Conclusion:
Increased number of intravitreal bevacizumab injections at therapeutic dosage was not associated with reduced GFR in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This study supports that intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor agents are renally safe. (Source: RETINA)

Increased distance from the clinic leads to higher loss to follow-up after pars plana vitrectomy in diabetic patients
Conclusion:
Increased distance from the clinic presents a challenge to providing safe and effective postsurgical care to diabetic patients. This presents opportunities for comanagement or other creative strategies to improve postsurgical follow-up rates for at-risk patients. (Source: RETINA)

Clinical outcomes of patients with endophthalmitis after dexamethasone intravitreal implant
Conclusion:
Endophthalmitis following intravitreal steroid injections may occur more frequently than other intravitreal injections. Dexamethasone-attributed endophthalmitis remains uncommon, and prompt intravitreal antibiotic treatment seems to be effective in this series. (Source: RETINA)

ISOLATED RETINAL VASCULITIS: Prognostic Factors and Expanding the Role of Immunosuppressive Treatment in Retinal Vasculitis Associated With Positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold Test
Conclusion:
Risk factors leading to poor visual outcome in patients with isolated retinal vasculitis have been identified. Immunosuppressive treatment without antituberculosis drugs seems to be a promising regimen for selected patients with presumed tuberculous retinal vasculitis under vigilant care. (Source: RETINA)

RETINAL VASCULAR BED AREA IN EYES WITH RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION ON ULTRA-WIDEFIELD FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY: WAVE Study
Conclusion:
Eyes with RVO have a similar RVBA to the unaffected fellow eyes but with a reduction when compared with normal control eyes. Retinal vascular bed area appears to be a surrogate biomarker of retinal ischemia on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography but not the extent of macular edema. (Source: RETINA)

Clinical features and prognosis in idiopathic epiretinal membranes with different types of intraretinal cystoid spaces
Conclusion:
Our research further proved that MME is an adverse factor for preoperative and postoperative VA in iERMs. Moreover, we underlined the importance of distinguishing between CME and MME, which may affect prognosis differently. (Source: RETINA)

Changes of optical coherence tomography angiography parameters after internal limiting membrane peeling compared with nonpeeling in epiretinal membrane surgery
Conclusion:
The macular microvasculature demonstrated more remodeling in the ILM nonpeeling group after three months. (Source: RETINA)

Combination of vitrectomy and intentional macular detachment is associated with a faster edematous regression than vitrectomy alone in the treatment of refractory diabetic macular edema
Conclusion:
Vitrectomy can release macular edema in the eyes with refractory diabetic macular edema. Combined with IMD technical, patients seemed to achieve a faster central retinal thickness decrease but neither the final morphologic outcome nor the visual acuity was affected. (Source: RETINA)

Comparison of pain experience in patients undergoing sub-tenon's anesthesia versus peribulbar anesthesia during elective vitreoretinal surgery
Conclusion:
Sub-Tenon's injection has a lower pain score than PB during the procedure and 24 hours postoperatively, representing a valuable procedure to deliver analgesia in vitreoretinal surgery. (Source: RETINA)

Multimodal imaging characteristics and functional correlates in rip healing
Purpose:
To report the imaging and functional features of the repair tissue following retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears.
Methods:
This cross-sectional observational study included patients with RPE tears secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration and at least 12 months of follow-up. The following variables were analyzed: best-corrected visual acuity; retinal sensitivity using microperimetry; outer retinal layers status and RPE resurfacing on optical coherence tomography; fibrosis; autofluorescence signal recovery using blue-light and near-infrared autofluorescence.
Results:
Overall, 48...

Extreme macular schisis–simulating retinal detachment in eyes with pathologic myopia
Conclusion:
In severely myopic eyes with macular neovascularization–related macular atrophy, a novel condition termed EMSSRD can be present. The optical coherence tomography images resemble those of a MHRD except the presence of thin remnants of the retina remaining on the retinal pigment epithelium. (Source: RETINA)

HUMAN CELLULAR MODELS FOR RETINAL DISEASE: From Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Organoids
Conclusion:
Modern stem cell techniques are improving our ability to model human retinal disease in vitro, especially with the use of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. In the future, a personalized approach may be used in which the individual's unique genotype can be modeled in two-dimensional culture or three-dimensional organoids and then rescued with an optimized therapy before treating the patient.
