RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To describe clinical features, risk factors and outcomes of patients with diagnosis of rare spontaneous suprachoroidal haemorrhage (SSCH) over a 20-year period from a tertiary eye unit. METHODS: Retrospective, observational case-series of patients with SSCH, defined as SCH without a known cause at diagnosis. Variables analysed included age, gender, ethnicity, systemic and ocular comorbidities, systemic medication, initial and final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), clinical features, management and follow-up. RESULTS: Total of 11 eyes of 11 patients were identified. Median age was 70 years (SD 25.9). Most patients were female (82%) and white British. Median follow-up period was 2.2 years. Hypertension was the most frequently associated underlying systemic disease (45%) and 36% were on anti-coagulant or anti-platelet therapy. High myopia was observed in 36% of cases. Presenting BCVA of 1.00 logMAR or better was a positive predictor of final BCVA. No significant improvement in the initial versus final BCVA was found in patients who underwent surgery versus those who remained under observation. CONCLUSION: Patients over 60 years-old with hypertension, anticoagulant treatment, high myopia, and pseudophakia were common. Visual outcomes were poor, surgical intervention had limited impact. Good initial BCVA predicted better final acuity while extensive SSCH correlated with poorer visual results. Despite the study's limitations, this series offers valuable insights into visual prognosis and prognostic factors.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of trans-scleral sutured posterior chamber black diaphragm intraocular lens (BDIOL) (Morcher®) implantations over 11 years. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Retrospective case-series of patients, who underwent BDIOL implantation, identified from electronic patient records system from 2006 to 2016, Moorfields Eye Hospital. Demographics, pre/post-operative, final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), diagnosis, symptomatic improvement, intraoperative and postoperative complications immediate or late were collected and analysed to relate outcomes to surgical indication. RESULTS: Forty eyes of 38 patients (F:M 1:2.8) underwent BDIOL implantation with a mean surgical age of 46.6 years and follow-up of 44.5 months (range of 8-132 months). Indications included 23(57%) ocular trauma, 7(17%) congenital aniridia, 7(17%) iatrogenic lens and/or iris loss, and 3(7%) infectious keratitis. Mean preoperative BCVA was 1.64 logMAR and mean final postoperative BCVA was 0.94 logMAR with an average improvement in BCVA of 0.23 logMAR, equivalent to 1.5 lines of Snellen visual acuity. Visual results varied according to indications. Infectious cause patients had the greatest vision improvement (-0.7 logMAR), followed by trauma (-0.3 logMAR), and 25% of these achieved vision of 0.3 logMAR (6/12 in Snellen acuity) or better. Conversely, the aniridia group had the least improvement (worsened vision of 0.01 logMAR), 17 patients (42%) reported subjective improvement. CONCLUSION: BDIOLs achieve reasonably good visual outcomes in eyes with complex vision threatening pathology. No significant intra-operative complications are documented and most post-operative complications are related to the pre-existing pathology. Post - trauma and iatrogenic aniridia have better outcomes compared to congenital aniridia.

PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate demographics, clinical features, prognostic factors, rate of success of surgery, incidence, and visual outcomes in patients with a late recurrence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment over a 10-year period at a large tertiary referral eye center. METHODS: A retrospective, observational case series of patients with late recurrence of retinal detachment, defined as redetachment after at least six months of total reattachment in non-proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery with gas tamponade. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients had a late recurrence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of 16,396 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment operations. The mean of time between the first retinal detachment (RD) surgery and redetachment was 122.7 (SD 115) weeks. On presentation with late recurrence, 72% of eyes were pseudophakic and 64% were macula-off. In 28 eyes, small breaks were found. Thirty-eight percent had established PVR (PVR-C in 80%). Ninety-five percent underwent PPV. Gas was used in 61%. The initial secondary success rate was 64%. Initial best-corrected visual acuity was 1.32 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (6/120) and final was 0.8 logMAR (6/38; P value 0.002). CONCLUSION: Late recurrence of retinal detachment is rare. It is characterized by small retinal breaks that may be difficult to visualize. Although cases can be treated with favorable anatomical results, visual outcomes are often less good and the success rate is lower.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features, prognostic factors, safety and rate of success of surgery and visual outcomes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and choroidal melanoma (CM). METHODS: A retrospective, observational case-series of 21 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or combined tractional-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in patients with choroidal melanoma over a period of 20 years. RESULTS: Nineteen patients were included in the final analysis. The mean elevation of CM was 4.0 mm and the mean largest diameter was 11.0 mm. RRD occurred after the CM treatment in 14 eyes at a mean interval of 44.2 months. The RRD was macula-on RRD in 6 eyes, there was posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in 15 and PVR in 7 eyes. BCVA at presentation was 0.71 logMAR and final was 1.5 logMAR (p = 0.01). The primary surgical success rate was 59%. No intraocular or extraocular tumour dissemination occurred. Mean follow-up was 66 months. CONCLUSION: RRD in patients with CM is uncommon but requires multidisciplinary management. Anatomical results are favourable but visual outcomes are poor due to a combination of factors related to melanoma treatment, macular retinal detachment and PVR. Vitrectomy as a surgical intervention for RRD in treated CM appears to be safe in terms tumour dissemination.

Background: Eyes sustaining open globe trauma are at high risk of severe visual impairment. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy is the most common cause of retinal detachment and visual loss in eyes with open globe trauma. There is evidence from experimental studies and pilot clinical trials that the use of adjunctive steroid medication triamcinolone acetonide can reduce the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy and improve outcomes of surgery for open globe trauma. Objective: The Adjunctive Steroid Combination in Ocular Trauma or ASCOT study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of adjunctive triamcinolone acetonide given at the time of vitreoretinal surgery for open globe trauma. Design: A phase 3 multicentre double-masked randomised controlled trial randomising patients undergoing vitrectomy following open globe trauma to either adjunctive triamcinolone acetonide or standard care. Setting: Hospital vitreoretinal surgical services dealing with open globe trauma. Participants: Patients undergoing vitrectomy surgery who had sustained open globe trauma. Interventions: Triamcinolone acetonide 4 mg/0.1 ml into the vitreous cavity and 40 mg/1 ml sub-Tenon's or standard vitreoretinal surgery and postoperative care. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with at least 10 letters of improvement in corrected visual acuity at six months. Secondary outcomes included retinal detachment secondary to proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal reattachment, macula reattachment, tractional retinal detachment, number of operations, hypotony, elevated intraocular pressure and quality of life. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol Five Domain and Visual Function Questionnaire 25 questionnaires. Results: A total of 280 patients were randomised; 129 were analysed from the control group and 130 from the treatment group. The treatment group appeared, by chance, to have more severe pathology on presentation. The primary outcome (improvement in visual acuity) and principal secondary outcome (change in visual acuity) did not demonstrate any treatment benefit for triamcinolone acetonide. The proportion of patients with improvement in visual acuity was 47% for triamcinolone acetonide and 43% for standard care (odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval 0.61 to 1.75, p = 0.908); the baseline adjusted mean difference in the six-month change in visual acuity was -2.65 (95% confidence interval -9.22 to 3.92, p = 0.430) for triamcinolone acetonide relative to control. Similarly, the secondary outcome measures failed to show any treatment benefit. For two of the secondary outcome measures, stable complete retinal reattachment and stable macular retinal reattachment, outcomes for the treatment group were significantly worse for triamcinolone acetonide at the 5% level (respectively, odds ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.36 to 0.99, p = 0.044 and odds ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.35 to 0.98, p = 0.041) compared with control in favour of control. The cost of the intervention was £132 per patient. Health economics outcome measures (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study, Visual Function Questionnaire 25 and EuroQol Five Dimensions) did not demonstrate any significant difference in quality-adjusted life-years. Conclusions: The use of combined intraocular and sub-Tenon's capsule triamcinolone acetonide is not recommended as an adjunct to vitrectomy surgery for intraocular trauma. Secondary outcome measures are suggestive of a negative effect of the adjunct, although the treatment group appeared to have more severe pathology on presentation. Future work: The use of alternative adjunctive medications in cases undergoing surgery for open globe trauma should be investigated. Refinement of clinical grading and case selection will enable better trail design for future studies. Trial registration: This trial is registered as ISRCTN 30012492, EudraCT number 2014-002193-37, REC 14/LNO/1428, IRAS 156358, Local R&D registration CHAD 1031. Funding: This project was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment programme (12/35/64) and will be published in full in Health Technology Assessment; Vol. 27, No. 12.

Despite advances in surgical techniques, eye trauma remains a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment. The main cause of trauma is a scarring process within the eye proliferative vitreoretinopathy. There is good evidence from laboratory work and small-scale clinical studies that the addition of a steroid medication, triamcinolone acetonide, given in and around the eye at the time of surgery for eye trauma, can reduce the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy scarring and improve the outcomes of surgery. The Adjunctive Steroid Combination in Ocular Trauma or ASCOT study was a multicentre clinical trial designed to test the use of triamcinolone acetonide as an addition to surgery to improve outcomes in eyes with 'open globe' penetrating injuries. A total of 280 patients were recruited and randomised to receive standard surgery or surgery with the additional steroid (triamcinolone acetonide). No benefit was found from the addition of the steroid medication. The addition of steroid medication was not good value for money. Secondary outcome measures suggested that triamcinolone acetonide may have had a negative effect on outcomes, although this may have been due to the presence of more severe cases amongst the patients allocated to receive the additional steroid (triamcinolone acetonide). The use of adjunctive triamcinolone acetonide in eye trauma cases undergoing surgery is therefore not recommended. Future studies with different additional medications and/or more targeted case selection are indicated to improve outcomes for eyes experiencing penetrating trauma.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The Adjunctive Steroid Combination in Ocular Trauma (ASCOT) trial is a unique pragmatic, multi-centre, patient and assessor masked, randomised controlled trial. We evaluate the clinical characteristics and pathology of this large trial cohort of patients with open globe injuries undergoing vitreoretinal surgery, including the associations between patient characteristics and their baseline vision. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We (i) summarise demographics, injury history and ocular history of the 280 participants recruited into the ASCOT trial using descriptive statistics; (ii) analyse the national and seasonal variation across England and Scotland in these participant characteristics; and (iii) explore the associations between participant demographic, trauma history, ocular history and presenting baseline visual acuity (measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study, ETDRS) using multivariable regression analyses. RESULTS: The majority of participants with open globe penetrating injuries were of white ethnicity (233, 84%), male (246, 88%), with a median age of 43 years (IQR 30-55 years). There was considerable variability in presenting visual acuity with 75% unable to read any letters on the ETDRS chart, whilst the median ETDRS letter score was 58 (IQR 24-80) for those who could read ≥1 letter. The most common causes of injury were workplace related (31%) or interpersonal violence (24%). Previous eye surgery, visual axis corneal scar, lens status, hyphaemia and vitreous haemorrhaging were found to be associated with presenting vision as measured by the ETDRS chart. CONCLUSION: The ASCOT trial provides valuable insights into the spectrum of pathology of patients with open globe eye injuries undergoing vitreoretinal surgery. The identified causes of injury and clinical presentation of the cases will help in training and resource planning to deal with these often challenging surgical cases.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is the most common form of retinal detachment (RD), affecting 1 in 10,000 patients per year. The condition has significant ocular morbidity, with a sizeable proportion of patients obtaining poor visual outcomes. Despite this, the genetics underpinning Idiopathic Retinal Detachment (IRD) remain poorly understood; this is likely due to small sample sizes in relevant studies. The majority of research pertains to the well-characterised Mende lian syndromes, such as Sticklers and Wagners, associated with RRD. Nevertheless, in recent years, there has been an increasing body of literature identifying the common genetic mutations and mechanisms associated with IRD. Several recent Genomic Wide Association Studies (GWAS) studies have identified a number of genetic loci related to the development of IRD. Our review aims to provide an up-to-date summary of the significant genetic mechanisms and associations of Idiopathic RRD.

PURPOSE: To investigate changes in subjective and objective distortion in the first 6 months after macula-involving retinal detachment repair. METHODS: Post hoc analysis of the PostRD trial: a prospective, multicentered randomized controlled trial. Two hundred and sixty-two patients with macula-involving retinal detachments undergoing repair with vitrectomy and gas tamponade were asked to complete a distortion questionnaire and objective distortion assessment (D chart) 2 and 6 months postoperatively. Visual acuity, retinal displacement (measured with fundus autofluorescence imaging), and quality of life were also recorded. RESULTS: Two months postoperatively 75.5% of patients reported subjective distortion, and this fell to 61.1% at 6 months. Over that period, distortion persisted in 56.5% of patients, resolved in 19.2%, and developed in 5.6%. Approximately one in four had resolution of their distortion by 6 months. The median overall and weighted D chart distortion scores fell between 2 and 6 months but 29% of patients had a worsening of D chart distortion score. D chart distortion scores were more closely correlated with amplitude of postoperative retinal displacement and quality-of-life scores in comparison with subjective distortion. CONCLUSION: Subjective distortion and objective distortion are common after macula-involving retinal detachment, but can improve over time. Objective measures of distortion were more closely correlated with quality of life and retinal displacement in comparison with subjective distortion.

PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate demographic, clinical features, prognostic factors, and rate of success of surgery and visual outcomes in patients with late presentation of retinal detachment. METHODS: A retrospective, comparative, observational case series of patients with late presentation retinal detachment, defined as retinal detachment with the loss of central vision for 4 weeks or more, over a period of 12 months. RESULTS: The mean of onset of central visual loss was 12.7 weeks (SD, 21.3). Proliferative vitreoretinopathy at the first operation was identified in 69% of eyes. The overall primary success rate was 69.2%, significantly less than that was found in outcomes for nonselected retinal detachment (primary success rate, 86%; P = 0.006). The initial best-corrected visual acuity was 20/500, and the final was 20/160 (P = 0.0027). There were no identifiable statistically significant socioeconomic factors related to late presentation. CONCLUSION: A high rate of established proliferative vitreoretinopathy on presentation was identified, and although cases can be treated with good anatomical results, visual outcomes are often less favorable. Primary surgical success is lower, and more reoperations are required compared with standard retinal detachments.

OBJECTIVES: To describe, evaluate, and identify the characteristics, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes in patients with intraocular foreign body (IOFB) in a Latin American population. METHODS: A retrospective, observational case-series of patients with a diagnosis of IOFB. Variables analyzed included age, gender, initial and final best correct visual acuity (BCVA), ocular trauma score, intraocular pressure, mechanism of injury, material and number of IOFB, zone of injury, timing of primary repair and IOFB removal, complications, and follow up. RESULTS: Sixty-one patients with IOFB were identified of which 97% were male with a mean age of 37.9 years (SD 2.16). The most common IOFB location was intravitreal (43%). IOFBs were metallic in 78%, vegetal in 3%, and other materials in 11%. Primary repair and secondary IOFB removal were performed at a mean timepoint of 3 days and 5 days, respectively. Systemic and topical antibiotics were administered to all patients. The initial BCVA was 1.62 logMAR and the final was 0.6 logMAR, which was statistically significant (Pearson's chi-squared test, p value 0.01). No cases of endophthalmitis were seen. CONCLUSION: IOFB removal can be delayed when there are no signs of infection or evidence of retinal detachment, without an increased risk of endophthalmitis and a negative impact on visual outcomes. Use of topical and systemic antibiotics appear sufficient to prevent endophthalmitis in these cases.

PURPOSE: To provide data on visual acuity (VA) outcomes and prognostic factors of microincision (23-gauge) vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for retained lens fragments after complicated cataract surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective, interventional case series from 2012 to 2017. METHODS: Precataract surgery and intraoperative (vitrectomy) parameters, postvitrectomy complications, and best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were identified. Vitrectomy was performed as early as corneal clarity permitted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to characterize factors associated with achieving VA better than 20/40, or worse than 20/200 at 6 months. RESULTS: This study included 291 consecutive eyes (291 patients). LogMAR BCVA improved from 0.73 ± 0.70 before cataract surgery to 0.46 ± 0.63 (P < .001) after vitrectomy. The previtrectomy VA was 1.43 ± 0.79. At 6 months, 183 (62.9%) and 45 patients (15.5%) achieved BCVAs better than 20/40 and worse than 20/200, respectively. Most frequent complications were de novo ocular hypertension (29 eyes, 10%) and transient cystoid macular edema (25 eyes, 8.6%). Postvitrectomy retinal detachment occurred in 9 eyes (3.1%). Final VA of 20/40 or better was independently associated only with better precataract surgery VA, age <75 years, absence of preexisting diabetic macular edema (DME) or postvitrectomy persistent cystoid macular edema (P < .05). Only poorer precataract surgery VA, delaying vitrectomy to later than 2 weeks, and final aphakic status were independently predictive of 20/200 or worse VA (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Contemporary VA outcomes of 23-gauge vitrectomy for retained lens fragments are comparable with that of prior predominantly non-MIVS cohorts, but fall short of benchmarks for uncomplicated cataract surgery. IOL type or timing of placement do not impact final VA.

Importance: A lack of consensus exists with regard to the optimal positioning regimen for patients after macula-involving retinal detachment (RD) repair. Objective: To evaluate the effect of face-down positioning vs support-the-break positioning on retinal displacement and distortion after macula-involving RD repair. Design, Setting, and Participants: A prospective 6-month single-masked randomized clinical trial was conducted at a multicenter tertiary referral setting from May 16, 2016, to May 1, 2018. Inclusion criteria were fovea-involving rhegmatogenous RD; central visual loss within 14 days; patients undergoing primary vitrectomy and gas surgery, under local anesthetic; patients able to give written informed consent; and 18 years old and older. Analysis was conducted following a modified intention-to-treat principle, with patients experiencing a redetachment or failure to attach the macula being excluded from analysis. Interventions: Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive face-down positioning or support-the-break positioning for a 24-hour period postoperatively. Positioning compliance was not monitored. Main Outcomes and Measures: The proportion of patients with retinal displacement on autofluorescence imaging at 6 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included proportion of patients with displacement at 2 months; amplitude of displacement at 2 and 6 months; corrected Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity; objective Distortion Scores; and quality of life questionnaire scores at 6 months. Results: Of the 262 randomized patients, 239 were analyzed (171 male [71.5%]; mean [SD] age, 60.8 [9.8] years). At 6 months, retinal displacement was detected in 42 of 100 (42%) in the face-down positioning group vs 58 of 103 (56%) in the support-the-break positioning group (odds ratio, 1.77; 95%CI, 1.01-3.11; P = .04). The degree of displacement was lower in the face-down group. Groups were similar in corrected visual acuity (face-down, 74 letters vs support-the-break, 75 letters), objective D Chart Distortion Scores (range: 0, no distortion to 41.6, severe distortion; with face-down at 4.5 vs support-the-break at 4.2), and quality of life scores (face-down 89.3 vs support-the-break 89.0) at 2 and 6 months. Retinal redetachment rate was similar in both groups (face-down group, 12.2% and support-the-break group, 13.7%). Retinal folds were less common in the face-down positioning group vs the support-the-break positioning group (5.3% vs 13.5%, respectively; odds ratio, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.2-7.4; P = .03). Binocular diplopia was more common in the support-the-break group compared with the face-down positioning group (7.6% vs 1.5%, respectively; odds ratio, 5.3; 95% CI, 1.3-24.6; P = .03). Amplitude of displacement was associated with worse visual acuity (r = -0.5; P < .001) and distortion (r = 0.28; P = .008). Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, findings suggest that face-down positioning was associated with a reduction in the rate and amplitude of postoperative retinal displacement after macula-involving RD repair and with a reduction in binocular diplopia. No association was found with visual acuity or postoperative distortion. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02748538.

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) remains a significant challenge for vitreoretinal surgeons. Its incidence, as a complication of retinal detachment, does not appear to have altered despite improvement in surgical techniques. Extensive laboratory research has been undertaken to investigate the pathogenesis of PVR and the use of adjunctive mediations to modify the disease process. To date these studies have not resulted in improved clinical management of PVR. Previous concepts of the pathogenesis of PVR, focussing on a central role for RPE cells, may be flawed and could potentially have contributed to the lack of clinical advances. Revised clinical classifications and novel approaches to adjunctive treatment may in the future result in improved surgical outcomes.

Retinal detachment (RD) is a serious and common condition, but genetic studies to date have been hampered by the small size of the assembled cohorts. In the UK Biobank data set, where RD was ascertained by self-report or hospital records, genetic correlations between RD and high myopia or cataract operation were, respectively, 0.46 (SE = 0.08) and 0.44 (SE = 0.07). These correlations are consistent with known epidemiological associations. Through meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies using UK Biobank RD cases (N = 3 977) and two cohorts, each comprising ~1 000 clinically ascertained rhegmatogenous RD patients, we uncovered 11 genome-wide significant association signals. These are near or within ZC3H11B, BMP3, COL22A1, DLG5, PLCE1, EFEMP2, TYR, FAT3, TRIM29, COL2A1 and LOXL1. Replication in the 23andMe data set, where RD is self-reported by participants, firmly establishes six RD risk loci: FAT3, COL22A1, TYR, BMP3, ZC3H11B and PLCE1. Based on the genetic associations with eye traits described to date, the first two specifically impact risk of a RD, whereas the last four point to shared aetiologies with macular condition, myopia and glaucoma. Fine-mapping prioritized the lead common missense variant (TYR S192Y) as causal variant at the TYR locus and a small set of credible causal variants at the FAT3 locus. The larger study size presented here, enabled by resources linked to health records or self-report, provides novel insights into RD aetiology and underlying pathological pathways.

PURPOSE: The reported incidence of postretinal detachment (RD) macular displacement varies markedly (14-72%). This may in part be due to the imaging modalities used. We compared the ability of 2 types of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging modalities to detect this phenomenon. METHODS: Prospective study of 70 eyes with macula-involving RDs. 8 weeks postoperatively, patients underwent FAF imaging with 2 machines: a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) and a digital fundus camera (FC). Images were graded for the presence of hyperautofluorescent RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) ghost vessels, indicative of retinal displacement, by 2 masked, independent graders. RESULTS: In total, 87.1% of FC images were gradable versus 88.6% of cSLO images. Retinal displacement was detectable in 61.4% of FC images versus 52.8% of cSLO images. Vessel shift often appeared more autofluorescent on FC imaging, but choroidal vessels were more visible. Cohen's agreement between the imaging modalities was 0.50, rated as moderate agreement. For both imaging modalities, the inter- and intragrader agreement was substantial, representing good test-retest reliability. CONCLUSIONS: Detection of post-RD retinal displacement was similar between FC and cSLO FAF imaging, with only moderate agreement between both modalities.

PURPOSE: To describe the widefield spectral-domain optical coherence tomography features of peripheral round retinal holes, with or without associated retinal detachment (RD). METHODS: Retrospective, observational study of 28 eyes with peripheral round retinal holes, with and without RD. Patients underwent imaging with a widefield 50-degree spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) and Optos ultra-widefield imaging systems (Optos, United Kingdom). RESULTS: Vitreous attachment at the site of the retinal hole was detected in 27/28 (96.4%) cases. Cases were split into three groups: RHs with RD (n = 12); RHs with subretinal fluid (n = 5), and flat RHs (n = 11), with minimal or no subretinal fluid. 91.6% retinal holes associated with subretinal fluid or RD had vitreous attachment at the site of the hole. Eighty percent had vitreous attachment at both edges of the retinal hole, in a U-shape configuration, which appeared to exert traction. By contrast, flat retinal holes had visible vitreous attachment only at one edge of the retinal hole in 45.4%. CONCLUSION: Vitreous attachment was commonly seen at the site of round retinal holes. Vitreous attachment at both edges of the retinal hole in a U-shape configuration was more commonly seen at holes associated with subretinal fluid or RD.

PURPOSE: To identify the prognostic factors affecting the surgical outcomes in patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome undergoing pars plana vitrectomy. METHODS: This was a retrospective clinical study of 67 eyes of 67 patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome who underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Demographic, clinical, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics were collected and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to examine the effect of parameters on change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). RESULTS: At a mean follow-up period of 15.9±12 months (mean±SD), the BCVA improved from 0.7±0.3 LogMAR (mean±SD) to 0.5±0.3. Seven patients developed full-thickness macular hole intraoperatively and tamponade (air, 20% SF6 or 12% C3F8) was used in 41 patients. Retinal breaks were identified intraoperatively in four patients. Regression analysis demonstrated that the preoperative BCVA was the only parameter affecting the postoperative visual outcome. CONCLUSION: In the present study, the preoperative BCVA plays a predictive role in the surgical outcome of patients with VMT undergoing pars plana vitrectomy. No other preoperative OCT characteristics demonstrated prognostic potential. Further prospective studies are needed in order to examine the role of several factors that could potentially facilitate preoperative patient counselling.

PURPOSE: Posterior hyaloid removal during pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy for ectopia lentis is commonly performed, but may increase the risk of intraoperative retinal breaks and postoperative retinal detachment. This study evaluated outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy with or without posterior hyaloid removal. METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study included ectopia lentis cases that underwent pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy (2005-2014), with or without intraoperative induction of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). The primary outcome was postoperative retinal detachment. The secondary outcomes were the incidence of iatrogenic retinal breaks, and change in visual acuity. RESULTS: Twenty-six cases were included. The posterior hyaloid was preserved intraoperatively in 11 cases (non-PVD group). In the remainder (15 cases), the vitreous was removed completely (PVD group). Postoperative retinal detachment occurred in 2 cases in each group (18.2% non-PVD vs.13.3% PVD, P = 0.7). Intraoperative breaks occurred more frequently in the PVD group (2 vs. 9 cases; P = 0.03). There was no difference in mean improvement in visual acuity (7 [PVD] vs. 3 [non-PVD] ETDRS lines; P = 0.2). CONCLUSION: The preservation of posterior hyaloid attachment during vitreolensectomy for ectopia lentis was associated with fewer iatrogenic retinal breaks. Postoperative retinal detachment did not seem to be influenced by the choice of surgical technique.
