RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: Although systemic complications following liposuction are rare, visual impairment has been reported in a few cases and may occur for a variety of reasons. Here we present the case of a 31-year-old woman who underwent 360° liposuction and subsequently developed headaches and delayed partial visual disturbance 10 days after the procedure. She had symptoms suggestive of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which was confirmed by lumbar puncture. A literature search revealed other case reports of visual changes or headaches following high-volume liposuction. Our case provides further evidence of a rare association between liposuction and idiopathic intracranial hypertension, emphasizing the need for thorough preoperative evaluations and the consideration of possible risks.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To quantify and compare the severity of metamorphopsia in patients undergoing vitrectomy for vitreoretinal disorders. METHODS: Data were collected evaluated from 319 patients with vitreoretinal disorders, including epiretinal membrane (ERM), macular hole (MH), cystoid macular edema with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO-CME), CME with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), diabetic macular edema (DME), macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (M-off RD), and macula-on RD (M-on RD). Metamorphopsia was recorded with the M-CHARTS preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Preoperative and 6-month postoperative metamorphopsia scores were 0.69 ± 0.50 and 0.50 ± 0.52, respectively. Before surgery, 94% of patients presented with metamorphopsia (score ≥0.2). Preoperative metamorphopsia scores were significantly correlated with postoperative metamorphopsia scores (r = 0.378, p < 0.0001). Preoperative metamorphopsia score was significantly higher for ERM (0.89) than for DME (0.51). Vitrectomy significantly improved metamorphopsia in ERM and MH but not in the other disorders. In contrast, treatment improved visual acuity for all disorders except CRVO-CME and M-on RD. CONCLUSION: This quantitative study indicated that metamorphopsia is present in most patients undergoing surgery for vitreoretinal diseases and is most severe in ERM. In these patients, vitrectomy improved visual acuity but not metamorphopsia.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To measure the tangential retinal displacement and vision before and after macular pucker surgery and study if pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane peeling allows the reconstitution of previous anatomy or else it results in a different configuration. METHODS: Retrospective series of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane, with >6-month follow-up before and after surgery, complete with best-corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, M-Charts, and infrared retinography. Tangential retinal displacement between earliest visit (T E ), time of surgery (T 0 ), and latest available visit (T L ) of the examined retina, concentric circles at 0.5, 1.5, and 4.5 mm radii, and the central horizontal and vertical meridians were measured. Tangential displacement was calculated as the optical flow of consecutive infrared photographs. RESULTS: The study comprised 32 patients: 15 men and 17 women. Average preoperative and postoperative follow-up were 23.4 ± 27.9 months and 19.2 ± 11.8 months, respectively. Best-corrected visual acuity reduced before surgery (0.69 ± 0.16 Snellen to 0.46 ± 0.17; P < 0.001) and increased after (0.866 ± 0.16 Snellen; P < 0.001). Horizontal and vertical metamorphopsia increased between before surgery but only horizontal metamorphopsia significantly reduced after. Average tangential displacement before surgery was 35.6 ± 29.9 µ m versus 56.6 ± 41.3 µ m after ( P = 0.023). Preoperative and postoperative displacement within the fovea was less than over the entire area ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Retinal tangential displacement between diagnosis and surgery (T E - T 0 ) is less than the displacement occurring after surgery (T 0 - T L ). Postoperative displacement does not represent the restoration of the anatomy existing before the disease ensued but rather the resulting equilibrium of newly deployed forces.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare aqueous humor cytokine levels in eyes with an initial endothelial keratoplasty (EK) that cleared and later decompensated versus control eyes. METHODS: In this prospective case-control study, aqueous humor samples were collected under sterile conditions at the start of planned cataract or EK surgery in normal controls (n = 10), Fuchs dystrophy controls with no previous surgery (n = 10) or previous cataract surgery only (n = 10), eyes with Descemet membrane EK (DMEK) endothelial decompensation (n = 5), and eyes with Descemet stripping EK (DSEK) endothelial decompensation (n = 9). Cytokine levels were quantified with the LUNARIS Human 11-Plex Cytokine Kit and compared using the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test and post hoc Wilcoxon pairwise 2-sided multiple comparison test. RESULTS: Levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interferon gamma, interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12p70, and tumor necrosis factorα did not differ significantly between groups. However, IL-6 was significantly increased in DSEK regraft eyes versus controls without previous ocular surgery. IL-8 was significantly increased in eyes with previous cataract or EK surgery versus eyes without previous surgery, and IL-8 was significantly increased in DSEK regraft eyes versus eyes with previous cataract surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The levels of innate immune cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 were elevated in the aqueous humor of eyes with failed DSEK, but not with failed DMEK. The differences between DSEK and DMEK may be related to the lower inherent immunogenicity of DMEK grafts and/or the more advanced stage of some of the DSEK graft failures at the time of diagnosis and treatment.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of an inverted internal limiting membrane flap (IF) and other factors on metamorphopsia after macular hole surgery. METHODS: Prospective case series of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade, with either conventional internal limiting membrane peeling (CP) or an IF, for primary idiopathic macular holes ≤ 500 µ m. Vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia were measured as M-scores (degrees) using M-charts preoperatively and at 2, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Fifty-three eyes of 53 patients were included of whom 27 underwent CP and 26 were treated with an IF. After macular hole surgery, all patients were pseudophakic. Vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia improved from 1.08 (±0.51) and 0.98 (±0.70) preoperatively to 0.58 (±0.37) and 0.45 (±0.36) at 2 months ( P < 0.01), with no further significant improvement at 6 months (0.39 [±0.31], P = 0.07 and 0.31 [±0.28], P = 0.18) or at 12 months (0.37 [±0.30], P = 0.72 and 0.28 [±0.28], P = 0.99). There was no significant difference in the mean vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia between patients with CP and with an IF at 2 months ( P = 0.063, P = 0.10), 6 months ( P = 0.25, P = 0.16), or 12 months ( P = 0.62, P = 0.22). Preoperative vertical M-score improved at 12 months after macular hole surgery by 61% and 64% in the CP and IF groups, respectively ( P = 0.84), and the horizontal M-score by 65% and 71%, respectively ( P = 0.98). CONCLUSION: The use of an IF has no evident bearing on the degree of postoperative metamorphopsia 12 months after surgical repair of macular holes ≤ 500 µ m.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the outcomes of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI) for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and DMEK with cataract extraction (triple DMEK). METHODS: This retrospective interventional study included 135 eyes of 135 patients who underwent DMEK alone or triple DMEK. Primary outcomes were graft detachments necessitating rebubbling, repeat grafts, and pupillary block. The secondary outcomes included rejection, cystoid macular edema, uveitis, intraoperative hyphema, visual disturbances, and surgical time. RESULTS: Thirty-one eyes in the LPI group and 104 eyes in the SPI group were included. Fifty-six eyes had DMEK alone, and 79 had triple DMEK. Visually significant graft detachments occurred in 7 of 31 eyes in the LPI group versus 19 of 104 eyes in the SPI group ( P = 0.61). No statistical significance in DMEK alone versus triple DMEK groups ( P = 0.61 vs. P > 0.99). Two patients in the LPI group and 5 in the SPI group required regraft ( P = 0.66). One (3.2%) experienced pupillary block compared with 5 (4.8%) ( P = 0.99) in the LPI and SPI groups, respectively. Secondary outcomes were similar in both groups ranging from 0% to 3% ( P > 0.99). None had visual disturbances. In DMEK alone, duration of surgery was significantly shorter in the LPI versus SPI group (32.8 vs. 44.1 minutes, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated similar outcomes between LPI and SPI, although the LPI group had a shorter duration of surgery when DMEK was performed alone. The remainder of the outcomes demonstrated no statistically significant differences.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To investigate the predictive factors for postsurgical visual prognosis in patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT). METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 31 eyes from 29 patients who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic VMT with a follow-up period of ≥3 months. The VMT was divided into three grades based on optical coherence tomography images: Grade 1 denoted partial vitreomacular separation with foveal attachment; Grade 2 exhibited intraretinal cysts or cleft with grade 1 findings; and Grade 3 was Grade 2 plus the subretinal fluid. RESULTS: Three eyes developed a full-thickness macular hole after surgery, all of which were Grade 3 patients. In the rest 28 eyes, the mean postoperative follow-up period was 23.3 ± 25.8 months. The postoperative central foveal thickness ( P = 0.001) and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; P < 0.001) were both significantly improved from baseline. Fifteen eyes (53.8%) gained ≥ two Snellen lines. Multilinear regression analysis showed that the worse the baseline BCVA ( P = 0.004), or the more advanced the VMT grade ( P = 0.049), the worse the final BCVA. Baseline BCVA was negatively associated with the postoperative visual improvement ( P < 0.001). Those Grade 3 patients with baseline Snellen BCVA of ≥20/40 were more likely to achieve a final Snellen BCVA of ≥20/25 ( P = 0.035). CONCLUSION: The VMT grade is an important predictive factor for the postsurgical visual prognosis. Surgical intervention should be performed as early as possible for Grade 3 patients to prevent further disease progression and maximize the postsurgical visual benefit.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) is a common disorder of the vitreomacular interface characterized by decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia. This study aimed to analyze the association between the anatomical change of the retina and functional outcomes in iERM patients so as to derive the prognostic factors of visual acuity (VA) and metamorphopsia. METHODS: Forty-five patients (one eye per patient; 45 eyes in total) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and membrane peeling for iERM by a single surgeon were enrolled in this retrospective study. The results on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and metamorphopsia as well as retinal images were obtained before the surgery and 1, 3, 6 months after the surgery. The BCVA and retinal microstructure, including central retinal thickness (CRT), ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness, inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer nuclear layer + outer plexiform layer (ONL+OPL), and continuity of photoreceptor inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction before and after iERM surgery were compared using paired samples t-test (continuous variables) or Chi-square test (categorical variables). Multiple regression analysis was carried out to explore the association among BCVA, M-score, and the parameters derived from optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: Compared with preoperative data, a significant improvement in BCVA was observed 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively (t = 5.37, p < 0.0001; t = 7.29, p < 0.0001; t = 6.44, p < 0.0001 for 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, respectively), whereas the M-score only decreased significantly 3 and 6 months after the surgery (t = 2.36, p = 0.02; t = 5.00, p < 0.0001, respectively). In comparison with the baseline, the CRT, INL, and ONL+OPL thickness showed a significant decrease at each postoperative follow-up time, and GCL thickness (t = 3.86, p = 0.0002) and IS/OS disruption ratio (χ2 = 4.86, p = 0.027) were markedly reduced only 6 months postoperatively. Six-month postoperative BCVA was considerably associated with preoperative CRT and ONL+OPL thickness, as well as postoperative CRT, ONL+OPL thickness, and severity of IS/OS disruption. Moreover, the M-score after surgery was markedly correlated with both the preoperative and postoperative INL and CRT thickness. CONCLUSIONS: Both VA and M-score in iERM patients were significantly improved after vitrectomy. Pre- and post-operative CRT was significantly associated with both postoperative BCVA and M-score. Besides, pre- and post-operative INL thickness was correlated to postoperative metamorphopsia, and postoperative BCVA was associated with postoperative ONL+OPL thickness and IS/OS integrity.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate the effectiveness of stripping the posterior hyaloid as vitreomacular traction treatment. METHODS: This prospective, consecutive, interventional study examined 10 eyes of 10 patients who underwent vitrectomy for vitreomacular traction. RESULTS: The best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/63 (0.5 ± 0.18 logMAR) preoperatively to 20/36 (0.25 ± 0.15 logMAR) 3 months after the surgeries. Optical coherence tomography analysis showed a reduction of the mean foveal thickness from 462 ± 82 µ to 372 ± 28 µ at 3-month follow-up in all the eyes. No postoperative complications were reported. CONCLUSION: Stripping of the posterior hyaloid for the treatment of vitreomacular traction could improve the symptoms and visual acuity of patients, alleviating the traction on the macula and avoiding secondary retinal damage as macular hole formation.

RESUMEN

Background: Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which impairs the body's ability to break down certain fats. This leads to the accumulation of glucosyl sphingosine and glucosyl ceramide in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Gaucher disease has two major types: nonneuropathic (Type 1) and neuropathic (Type 2 and Type 3). Gaucher disease can have various ophthalmologic manifestations, particularly in Type 3, including posterior segment abnormalities, such as vitreous opacities, condensations, and/or preretinal white dots. We present a case of a patient with Gaucher disease Type 3 who had severe bilateral vitreous and extensive retinal deposits, leading to challenges during surgery. Purpose: This video reports surgical outcomes for an uncommon ophthalmologic manifestation in a patient with Gaucher disease Type 3. We focus on the challenges and results of surgery for severe bilateral vitreous and extensive retinal deposits. Synopsis: A 16-year-old female patient with a history of Gaucher's disease since birth presented with a one-year history of blurred vision in both eyes. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye, as measured by Snellen's chart. Intraocular pressure was normal in both eyes, and anterior segment examinations were unremarkable. However, fundus evaluation revealed extensive vitreous deposits that obscured the details of the fundus. Additionally, an epiretinal membrane was observed over the macula in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the presence of deposits in the vitreous cavity and on the surface of the retina. The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane removal. A transconjunctival 23-G pars plana vitrectomy was performed to the extent possible. Multiple instruments were used to remove the fluffy vitreous deposits, as they were extremely adherent to the underlying surface of the retina, and brilliant blue dye was used to stain the internal limiting membrane. The epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane were removed from the macular area, and the entire cassette fluid was sent for histopathological examination to identify Gaucher cells. At one week postoperative, the patient's visual acuity improved to 20/125 in the right eye, and the fundus picture showed a cleared macular area. OCT showed a reduction in deposits over the retina. The histopathological examination revealed crumpled, barrel-like cytoplasm with an oval nucleus in a hemorrhagic background, suggestive of Gaucher cells. Highlights: Early detection and treatment of ocular manifestations of Gaucher's disease are important to prevent permanent damage to vision. An ophthalmological assessment involving a dilated fundus examination and optical coherence tomography can facilitate early diagnosis and follow-up of ocular manifestations. Timely surgery may be required to preserve functional vision in patients with severe ocular disease. Video Link: https://youtu.be/KR-kfgfDoqM.

RESUMEN

Background: Aniridia is defined as missing iris tissue which can be partial, subtotal, or total. Characteristic clinical symptoms include photophobia and decreased visual acuity due to an increased light perception. In addition to this, disturbing cosmetic problems are prevalent. Even after implantation of an intraocular lens, patients often tend to be unsatisfied. Purpose: The answer to this problem lies in the implantation of an aniridic scleral fixation of intraocular lens (SFIOL), which has a central optical axis that acts as the refractive lens and a peripheral rim of a hyperpigmented area that mimics the iris and hence reduces photophobia. The purpose of the video was to demonstrate the use of black diaphragm intraocular lens (BDIOL) implantation, its surgical steps, and its outcomes. Synopsis: We report one such case where a young patient presented with post-traumatic aniridia with subluxated total cataract and spillover vitreous hemorrhage. He was subjected to a vitrectomy, cataract removal, and placement of an aniridic SFIOL with prolene 9-0 using the four-point fixation method. This gave an extremely gratifying outcome and solved both problems, that is, vision and photophobia. Highlight: Before implantation of the SFIOL, the patients had reduced visual acuity from aphakia and intolerable glare from aniridia. In this case-based approach and with relevant example, we tried to provide a solution for tricky scenarios like co-existing traumatic cataract and traumatic aniridia. The patient showed improved visual acuity and marked glare reduction after black diaphragm SFIOL implantation. Video link: https://youtu.be/atl60WetFsM.

RESUMEN

An adult male in his 50s presented with complaints of glare and gradual, painless, progressive diminution of vision in the right eye (RE). Visual acuity in RE was noted to be 2/60, and slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed a pearly grey-white elevated corneal opacity measuring 4 mm × 3 mm, obscuring the visual axis. There was no history of ocular trauma or infection. The patient had undergone bilateral radial keratotomy for myopia correction 25 years ago. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging demonstrated increased corneal thickness of 1080 µm at the site of lesion and the height of the epicorneal mass was noted to be 493 µm. The patient underwent fibrin glue-aided anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Histopathological examination of the excised host tissue confirmed the diagnosis of corneal keloid.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This case describes the successful visual restoration of a patient with end-stage Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) with a severely keratinized ocular surface. METHODS: This study is a case report. RESULTS: A 67-year-old man with SJS secondary to allopurinol sought visual rehabilitation options. His ocular surface was severely compromised from sequelae of chronic SJS, leaving him with light perception vision bilaterally. The left eye was completely keratinized with severe ankyloblepharon. The right eye had failed penetrating keratoplasty, limbal stem cell deficiency, and a keratinized ocular surface. The patient declined both a Boston type 2 keratoprosthesis and a modified osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis. Therefore, a staged approach was pursued with (1) systemic methotrexate to control ocular surface inflammation, (2) minor salivary gland transplant to increase ocular surface lubrication, (3) lid margin mucous membrane graft to reduce keratinization, and finally, (4) Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis for visual restoration. After minor salivary gland transplant and mucous membrane graft, the Schirmer score improved from 0 mm to 3 mm with improvement in ocular surface keratinization. This approach successfully restored the vision to 20/60, and the patient has retained the keratoprosthesis for over 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Sight restoration options are limited in patients with end-stage SJS with a keratinized ocular surface, aqueous and mucin deficiency, corneal opacification, and limbal stem cell deficiency. This case demonstrates successful ocular surface rehabilitation and vision restoration in such a patient through a multifaceted approach that resulted in successful implantation and retention of a Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of endoscopic transnasal optic canal decompression (ETOCD) guided by a navigation surgical system (NSS) for vision recovery in patients with compressive optic neuropathy (CON) caused by craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD), and to explore the underlying cause of visual impairment. METHODS: All patients underwent unilateral NSS-guided ETOCD and were followed up periodically for at least six months. Paired sample t-test and Pearson correlation analyses were used to compare continuous variables of the visual outcomes at the final review. A histopathological test of abnormal bone specimens was performed postoperatively. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were finally included, and all surgeries were uneventful. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (logMAR units) decreased from 1.29 ± 0.80 preoperatively to 0.97 ± 0.78 at the last follow-up (p = 0.0012), improving in 28 patients (82.35%). The absolute value of mean defect (MD) significantly decreased (p < 0.001). Color vision was impaired in 17 patients preoperatively and improved in 6 patients. BCVA at the last follow-up was significantly correlated with preoperative BCVA, onset time, preoperative retinal nerve fibril layer thickness, and MD (all p < 0.05). Among 34 patients, 26 had a blunt bony process near the anterior foot of the optic chiasm. Of the total patients, 73.53% patients experienced bony fiber recurrence 6 months or earlier after surgery without visual loss. CONCLUSION: NSS-guided ETOCD appeared to be safe and effective for visual recovery in patients with CON due to CFD, and early surgical intervention was critical for long-term recovery. Unbalanced compression of the optic canal by the blunt bony process may be a major cause of visual impairment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 133:1857-1866, 2023.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the topographical distribution of intraretinal cystoid space (IRC) and its prognostic value in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM). METHODS: One hundred twenty-two eyes of iERM that had been followed up for 6 months after membrane removal were included. Based on the baseline IRC distribution, the eyes were divided into Groups A, B, and C (absence, IRC within 3 mm, and 6 mm from the fovea, respectively). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central subfield macular thickness (CSMT), ectopic inner foveal layer, and microvascular leakage (ML) were assessed. RESULTS: Fifty-six eyes (45.9%) had IRC, of which 35 (28.7%) were in Group B and 21 (17.2%) in Group C at baseline. Compared with group B, group C showed worse BCVA, thicker CSMT, and a greater association with ML (OR = 5.415; P = 0.005) at baseline; and also presented with worse BCVA, thicker CSMT, and wider distribution of IRC postoperatively. A wide distribution of IRC was an unfavorable baseline factor in achieving good visual acuity (OR = 2.989; P = 0.031). CONCLUSION: Widely distributed IRCs were associated with advanced disease phenotype as poor BCVA, thick macula, and baseline ML in iERM and also showed a poor visual outcome after membrane removal.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the subjective visual experience and ocular symptoms of fellow eyes treated with wavefront-optimized laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (WFO-LASIK) and wavefront-guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (WFG-LASIK). DESIGN: Prospective randomized fellow eye, controlled study. METHODS: A total of 200 eyes of 100 subjects from a single academic center were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment with WFO-LASIK in one eye and WFG-LASIK in the fellow eye. Subjects filled out a validated 14-part questionnaire for each eye at the preoperative visit and at postoperative months 1, 3, 6, and 12. RESULTS: In comparing the number of subjects who reported symptoms in the WFG- vs WFO- LASIK eyes, there was no difference in the number reporting any visual experience (glare, halos, starbursts, hazy vision, blurred vision, distortion, double or multiple images, fluctuations in vision, focusing difficulties, and depth perception; all P > .05) or ocular symptoms (photosensitivity, dry eye, foreign body sensation, ocular pain; all P > .05). There was no preference for WFG-LASIK-treated (28%) or the WFO-LASIK-treated eye (29%), with the majority of subjects reporting no preference (43%; χ2P = .972). Of the subjects who preferred one eye or the other, the preferred eye saw statistically better than the fellow eye (0.8 ± 1.4 Snellen line, P = .0002). There was no other difference in subjective visual experience, ocular symptoms, or refractive characteristics when taking into account eye preference. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of subjects had no eye preference. For subjects who did have eye preference, the only detectable difference was better visual acuity in the preferred eye.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To measure visual field (VF) rates of change after Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation and to investigate risk factors for progression. DESIGN: Retrospective, clinical cohort study. METHODS: Patients who underwent AGV implantation with at least 4 eligible postoperative VFs and 2 years of follow-up were included. Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected. VF progression was explored with 3 methods: mean deviation (MD) rate; glaucoma rate index (GRI); and pointwise linear regression (PLR). For a subset of eyes with sufficient preoperative and postoperative VFs, rates were compared between the 2 periods. RESULTS: A total of 173 eyes were included. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and number of glaucoma medications were significantly reduced from a median (interquartile range [IQR]) of 23.5 (12.1) mm Hg at baseline to 12.8 (4.0) mm Hg at final follow-up, and from (mean ± SD) 3.3 ± 1.2 to 2.2 ± 1.4, respectively. A total of 38 eyes (22%) showed VF progression, and 101 eyes (58%) were stable as assessed by all 3 methods, which accounted for 80% of all eyes. The rate of VF decline by MD and GRI was a median (IQR) of -0.30 (0.8) dB/y and -2.30 (10.6) (of -100), respectively. When comparing progression before and after surgery, the reduction was not statistically significant with any of the methods. The peak IOP (after 3 postoperative months) was associated with VF deterioration, with a 7% increase in risk per each additional millimeter of mercury (mm Hg). CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the largest published series reporting long-term VF outcomes after glaucoma drainage device implantation. There is a continued, significant rate of VF decline after AGV surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare effectiveness and safety of the gel stent to trabeculectomy in open-angle glaucoma (OAG). DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, multicenter, noninferiority study. METHODS: Patients with OAG and intraocular pressure (IOP) 15 to 44 mm Hg on topical IOP-lowering medication were randomized 2:1 to gel stent implantation or trabeculectomy. Primary end point (surgical success): percentage of patients at month 12 achieving ≥20% IOP reduction from baseline without medication increase, clinical hypotony, vision loss to counting fingers, or secondary surgical intervention (SSI) in a noninferiority test with 24% margins. Secondary end points (month 12) included mean IOP and medication count, postoperative intervention rate, visual recovery, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Safety end points included adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: At month 12, the gel stent was statistically noninferior to trabeculectomy (between-treatment difference [Δ], -6.1%; 95% CI, -22.9%, 10.8%); 62.1% and 68.2% achieved the primary end point, respectively (P=.487); mean IOP and medication count reductions from baseline were significant (P<.001); and the IOP change-related Δ (2.8 mm Hg) favored trabeculectomy (P=.024). The gel stent resulted in fewer eyes requiring in-office postoperative interventions (P=.024 after excluding laser suture lysis), faster visual recovery (P≤.048), and greater 6-month improvements in visual function problems (ie, PROs; P≤.022). The most common AEs were reduced visual acuity at any time (gel stent, 38.9%; trabeculectomy, 54.5%) and hypotony (IOP <6 mm Hg at any time) (gel stent, 23.2%; trabeculectomy, 50.0%). CONCLUSIONS: At month 12, the gel stent was statistically noninferior to trabeculectomy, per the percentage of patients achieving ≥20% IOP reduction from baseline without medication increase, clinical hypotony, vision loss to counting fingers, or SSI. Trabeculectomy achieved a statistically lower mean IOP, numerically lower failure rate, and numerically lower need for supplemental medications. The gel stent resulted in fewer postoperative interventions, better visual recovery, and fewer AEs.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the cardiovascular risk (CV risk) change following bilateral phacoemulsification cataract surgery. METHODS: We performed a retrospective observation cohort study on 112 selected patients who underwent uncomplicated bilateral cataract surgery at Centro Hospitalar de Entre o Douro e Vouga (CHEDV) between 2018 and 2019. This patient cohort was further subdivided in 2 different groups: Good VA - no to mild visual impairment, ≤0.48 LogMAR; Bad VA - moderate to severe visual impairment, >0.48 LogMAR. We compared the changes in the CV risk score components in our patient cohort and between subgroups Good VA and Bad VA, before and after surgery, using paired t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc tests, respectively. Visual Acuity (VA) before and after surgery was correlated with the patients' CV risk score. At last, linear regression models were built to explain changes in CV risk variables considering the change in VA. RESULTS: Cataract surgery resulted in improved VA. Notably, following surgery our patient cohort showed reduced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels after surgery, from 111.17±36.26 mg/dL to 104.22±37.53 mg/dL, and reduced systolic arterial pressure (SAP), from 139.1±15.0 mmHg to 133.7±12.0 mmHg. Ultimately, this translated to an improved CV risk score within 6 months of cataract surgery, from 17.39±11.44% to 16.51±11.27%. Of note, these improvements were mostly present in the Bad VA group of patients, where baseline VA and incidence of dyslipidemia were worse. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that phacoemulsification cataract surgery may be an important tool in addressing CV risk.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The role of visual evoked potential (VEP) in direct clipping of the paraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether intraoperative neuromonitoring with VEP can predict deterioration of visual function after direct clipping of the paraclinoid ICA aneurysm with anterior clinoidectomy. METHODS: Among consecutive 274 patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysm, we enrolled 25 patients with paraclinoid ICA aneurysm treated by direct clipping after anterior clinoidectomy with intraoperative neuromonitoring with VEP in this study. We evaluated the visual acuity loss (VAL) and visual field loss (VFL) before surgery, 1 month after surgery, and at the final follow-up. RESULTS: The VAL at 1 month after surgery (VAL1M) and VAL at the final follow-up (Final VAL) were significantly related to the reduction rate of VEP amplitude at the end of surgery (RedEnd%), more than 76.5%, and the maximal reduction rate of VEP amplitude during surgery (MaxRed%), more than 66.7% to 70%. The VFL at 1 month after surgery (VFL1M) and the VFL at the final follow-up (Final VFL) were significantly related to MaxRed% more than 60.7%. CONCLUSION: VAL1M, Final VAL, VFL1M, and Final VFL could be significantly predicted by the value of RedEnd% and MaxRed% in direct clipping of Al-Rodhan group Ia, Ib, and II paraclinoid ICA aneurysms with anterior clinoidectomy.
