RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To assess an association between cutaneous keloids, hypertrophic scarring, and fibrosis (KHF) and risk of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. DESIGN: Retrospective, population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent initial retinal detachment (RD) repair with pars plana vitrectomy with or without scleral buckle (SB) (Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] 67108), pneumatic retinopexy (67110), and primary SB (67107) from January 1, 2003, to March 1, 2023. METHODS: A de-identified electronic health record database through TriNetX, a global health research network, was used to analyze patients. Patients were queried for International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes L91.0 (hypertrophic scar) and L90.5 (scar conditions and fibrosis of skin). Frequency of subsequent diagnosis of PVR (H35.2) and CPT codes for secondary surgery including complex RD repair (67113) were determined. Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (ICD-10 H10.35/H11.35) were excluded. Descriptive statistics (Z-test) and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to match for age, sex, and race. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of H35.2 and CPT 67113 within 180 days after RRD repair in the KHF cohort versus the non-KHF cohort. RESULTS: Among patients with CPT 67108, 1061 in each cohort (KHF and non-KHF) were analyzed after PSM. The mean (standard deviation) age was 60.7 (15.2) years. Within 180 days, 10.1% of patients in the KHF cohort and 3.4% in the non-KHF cohort had a diagnosis of PVR (H35.2) (P < 0.001, odds ratio [OR], 3.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.13-4.71). A total of 8.3% of patients in the KHF cohort and 5.4% of patients in the non-KHF cohort underwent complex RD repair (CPT 67113) (P = 0.008; OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.13-2.25). When including all RD repair types (CPT 67108, 67110, 67107), the rate of PVR diagnosis was still significantly greater in the KHF cohort than in the non-KHF cohort (9.0% vs 4.2%, P < 0.01; OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.64-3.16). CONCLUSIONS: A dermatologic history of KHF may be a risk factor for PVR after RD repair. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE(S): Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With a decline in the use of scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair in recent years, this review seeks to provide a summary of the most recent research findings regarding the role of scleral buckling in the repair of RRD. RECENT FINDINGS: Many recent studies have compared visual and anatomic outcomes between scleral buckling and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD repair. Some suggest superior outcomes with primary scleral buckling, particularly in younger, phakic patients, and in association with other risk factors that we review. Children do best with primary scleral buckling surgery. Functionally, scleral buckling may also result in lower rates of retinal displacement compared to PPV. When PPV is necessary, a supplemental buckle may benefit certain patients, while the advantage remains unclear in other clinical scenarios and necessitates further investigation. SUMMARY: Scleral buckling is an important technique for the repair of RRD and it is crucial to continue training retina surgeons in this technique to maximize patient outcomes.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We describe the history and series results of pneumatic retinopexy (PnR)and provide an analysis of PnR utilization after publication of results of pneumatic retinopexy versus vitrectomy for the management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment outcomes randomized trial (PIVOT). RECENT FINDINGS: No significant trends were found for average number of services ( P â=â0.153) of PnR after the publication of PIVOT results. SUMMARY: PnR is a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair technique that was first described in the early 1900âs and has evolved over time to become a modern-day, minimally invasive, underutilized treatment option. Other repair techniques for RRD include scleral buckling and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), which has been compared to the use of PnR in PIVOT. Results of PIVOT concluded that PnR offered superior visual acuity and noninferiority. PnR is underutilized in the United States even after publication of results of PIVOT deemed it a noninferior treatment. Lack of a significant increase in national utilization of PnR could be associated with multifactorial clinician, systems, and financial reasons in the real-world setting.

PURPOSE: Despite recent developments in vitrectomy technology and instrumentation, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Stickler syndrome (RDS) remains a challenge for surgeons. RDSs are associated with a higher rate of complications and surgical failures than those not associated with Stickler syndrome. This study is a report about anatomic and visual outcomes of RDS surgery and describes the surgical techniques associated with the treatment of this specific condition. METHODS: This is a retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series of patients with RDS undergoing retinal reattachment surgery from 1990 to 2020 at the Institute of Ocular Microsurgery (IMO) in Barcelona, Spain. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes of 18 patients with genetically confirmed Stickler syndrome were included in the study. Ten eyes (41.6%) presented a giant retinal tear. Retinal reattachment was achieved in all cases after an average of 1.21 (range 1-6) surgical interventions. Nineteen eyes (79%) required only one operation to achieve complete retinal reattachment. The most common first surgical procedure was a 4-mm scleral buckle with posterior pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil endotamponade, performed on 16 (66.6%) of the eyes. The mean follow-up period was 10.2 years. Mean preoperative visual acuity LogMar was 1.10 (Snellen equivalent 20/252), which improved to 0.50 (Snellen equivalent 20/63) at final follow-up (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In most RDS cases, anatomic success and visual acuity improvement can be achieved with the first surgical procedure, using a combination of silicone oil tamponade and a 4-mm scleral encircling band. In some early cases of RDS, other less invasive surgical techniques can be used.

PURPOSE: To report the characteristics and the visual and anatomical outcomes of secondary macular holes (SMHs) diagnosed after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair and their associated factors. METHODS: Retrospective, interventional case series. All consecutive patients who were diagnosed with SMH after RRD repair at Beijing Tongren eye center from January 2016 to April 2021 were included. Patients who had their primary RRD repair in other hospitals and were referred to our center after diagnosis of SMH were also included. The minimum follow-up time after RRD repair was 6 months. RESULTS: 37 SMHs were diagnosed within a series of 5696 RRDs. Including 24 eyes referred from other hospitals after the diagnosis of SMH, 61 eyes were included. The type of primary RRD repair surgery included 22/61 (36%) eyes with scleral buckling procedure (SBP) and 39/61 (64%) eyes with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). 21/61 (34%) eyes had recurrent RD. The median time to SMH diagnosis was 150 days (range, 7 ~ 4380 days). Macular hole (MH) closure was achieved in 77% eyes. Visual acuity (VA) improvement of at least 2 lines of Snellen's visual acuity was observed in 51% eyes. Final MH closure status was associated with preoperative MH diameter (for every 50 µm increment) (P = 0.046, OR = 0.875, 95%CI: 0.767 ~ 0.998). VA improvement was associated with final MH closure status (P = 0.009, OR = 8.742, 95%CI: 1.711 ~ 44.672). Final VA (logMAR) was associated with recurrent RD (P < 0.001, B = 0.663, 95%CI: 0.390 ~ 0.935), preoperative MH diameter (P = 0.001, B = 0.038, 95%CI: 0.017 ~ 0.058), VA at the time of SMH diagnosis (P < 0.001, B = 0.783, 95%CI: 0.557 ~ 1.009) and final MH closure status (P = 0.024, B = -0.345, 95%CI: -0.644 ~ -0.046). For patients without recurrent RD, VA improvement and final VA was associated with final MH closure status (P = 0.016 and P < 0.001, respectively), while for patients with recurrent RD, VA improvement or final VA did not associate with final MH closure status (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: For SMH diagnosed after RRD repair, final MH closure status was associated with preoperative MH diameter. Recurrent RD, larger preoperative MH diameter, worse VA at the time of SMH diagnosis and failed MH closure are predictive factors for worse final VA. Visual outcome is associated with final MH closure status in patients without recurrent RD, but not as so in patients with recurrent RD.

PURPOSE: To assess epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation, severity, and the associated risk factors after scleral buckling using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. METHODS: Medical records of 61 consecutive patients (66 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent scleral buckling were retrospectively reviewed. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was determined based on B-scan OCT images. En face OCT images were used to visualize the ERM and retinal folds. ERM formation was identified by comparing en face images pre- and post-surgery. The maximum depth of the retinal folds (MDRF) was measured using en face imaging to objectively assess traction strength. RESULTS: ERM formation occurred in 15 (22.7%) eyes at the final visit; the foveal pit was preserved in all cases. Parafoveal retinal folds were present in 5 (7.6%) eyes, with a mean MDRF of 21.8 ± 12.6 µm. No significant difference was observed in best-corrected visual acuity (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution) between the ERM formation (-0.019 ± 0.128) and non-ERM formation (-0.001 ± 0.213) groups at the final visit (P = 0.593; Mann-Whitney U test). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that older age and the presence of PVD were significant risk factors for ERM formation (odds ratio 1.07, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.14, P = 0.032; odds ratio 5.26, 95% confidence interval 1.06-26.10, P = 0.042; respectively). CONCLUSION: ERM occurred in 22.7% of cases but was mild and did not affect visual acuity. Older age and the presence of PVD are risk factors for ERM formation.

PURPOSE: To introduce a surgical technique for temporary scleral buckling of noncomplex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using a combination of nonabsorbable and absorbable sutures that would induce minimal permanent refractive changes. METHODS: Twenty consecutive patients (20 eyes) with noncomplex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were prospectively included. Scleral buckling was performed in all eligible subjects, and encircling buckling was added when necessary. The silicone elements were fixed on the sclera with 5-0 nonabsorbable sutures and tightened to form a ridge with 6-0 absorbable sutures. Best-corrected visual acuity, scleral ridge status, axial length, spherical diopter, and cylinder diopter were collected. RESULTS: All patients achieved primary retinal reattachment with significant improvement of best-corrected visual acuity after surgery. Scleral ridge was obvious and in situ at the 1-month follow-up but diminished at the 3-month follow-up. At the 1-month follow-up, axial length increased from 24.78 mm ± 2.14 mm preoperatively to 25.22 mm ± 2.11 mm, and cylinder diopter increased from -1.99 ± 1.03 to -2.95 ± 1.55 (both P < 0.001). At the 3-month follow-up, axial length, spherical diopter, and cylinder diopter decreased significantly compared with the values at the 1-month follow-up (all P < 0.05). No obvious complications were observed during the whole follow-up. Patients who underwent additional encircling buckling exhibited greater changes in axial length and cylinder diopter at the 1-month follow-up (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The modified technique of scleral buckling with/without encircling buckling using both nonabsorbable and absorbable sutures offers a safe and effective option to repair noncomplex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, which would offer an adequate temporary scleral buckling effect and induce minimal permanent refractive changes.

PURPOSE: Evaluate preoperative bilateral eye patching (BEP) on subretinal fluid and vision in acute primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). METHODS: Retrospective nonrandomized interventional study of 335 patients with RRD undergoing BEP until surgery (BEP cohort) and separated by the percentage of full-time compliance: high (≥90%), medium (>90% but ≥50%), and low (<50%). Those declining BEP were included (control). All underwent surgery and were followed for ≥3 months. Imaging was obtained immediately before surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity was measured at the longest follow-up and immediately before surgery. SRF and foveal status immediately before surgery were analyzed. RESULTS: Two hundred and forty and 95 patients were in BEP and control cohorts, respectively. Thirty patients presented immediately before surgery for analysis. High (64%) and medium (35%) compliance showed significantly greater ( P < 0.01) SRF reduction compared with low (4%) and control (3%). Mac-off RRD showed significantly greater ( P < 0.01) foveal reattachment with high (29%) and medium (8%) compliance compared with low (2%) and control (1%). Mac-on RRD demonstrated no significant differences ( P ≥ 0.51) in final best-corrected visual acuity among high (0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR] [median], 20/20 Snellen), medium (0.10 logMAR, 20/25 Snellen), low (0.10 logMAR), and control cohorts (0.10 logMAR). Mac-off RRD demonstrated significantly better final best-corrected visual acuity with high compliance (0.30 logMAR, 20/40 Snellen) compared with low (0.40 logMAR, 20/50 Snellen; P = 0.04) and control (0.60 logMAR, 20/80 Snellen; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Preoperative BEP can stabilize or improve subretinal fluid in acute primary RRD. Patients with BEP >50% of the time experienced the greatest benefits.

PURPOSE: To examine the visual outcomes in patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with intentional submacular fluid retention after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or PPV/scleral buckle surgery (PPV/SB). METHODS: Patients with macula-off retinal detachments were included if they had a PPV or PPV/SB without drainage retinotomy or perfluorocarbon liquid to flatten the retina. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 65.0 years. The mean presenting vision was 20.0 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters. Six months after repair, the vision improved to 62.9; 75.4% of patients had 20/40 or better at best achieved visual acuity. Pseudophakic eyes had better vision compared with phakic eyes ( P = 0.049). Patients younger than 80 years had better best achieved vision ( P = 0.0118) compared with patients 80 years or older. Patients with initial vision better than or equal to 20/100 had better best achieved vision ( P = 0.016) compared with those with initial vision worse than 20/100. CONCLUSION: Leaving submacular fluid after macula-off retinal detachments surgery was not detrimental for visual outcomes or anatomic success for retinal detachments repair and may lead to better visual outcomes for patients, specifically for those patients younger than 80 years, who are pseudophakic, and have presenting vision 20/100 or better.

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of surgical timing on visual acuity outcomes in retinal detachments based on the preoperative foveal status. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted. Cases were stratified into fovea-on, fovea-split, and fovea-off groups. Days to surgery was defined as the time between the preoperative examination and surgery. The main outcome measure was the final postoperative visual acuity. RESULTS: 1,675 cases were studied. More than 80% of fovea-on/fovea-split and fovea-off cases had surgery within 1 and 3 days, respectively. The mean final postoperative visual acuity did not differ significantly between the fovea-on and fovea-split groups (Snellen equivalent [SE] 20/33 ± 20/49 and 20/32 ± 20/39, P = 1.000) and did not change significantly based on days to surgery in either group. The mean final postoperative visual acuity was lowest in the fovea-off group (Snellen equivalent = 20/56 ± 20/76, P < 0.001) and was significantly lower in cases where surgery was performed after two or more days when compared with cases performed within 1 day (Snellen equivalent 20/74 ± 20/89 vs. 20/46 ± 20/63, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Fovea-on and fovea-split retinal detachments demonstrated comparable visual outcomes. Fovea-off RDs demonstrated worse visual outcomes, which declined further when surgery was delayed by two or more days.

PURPOSE: Long-term study to evaluate the clinical and surgical outcomes of scleral buckle (SB) surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at a large tertiary eye center. METHODS: Noncomparative, retrospective case series of 589 eyes of 569 patients with primary RRD who underwent SB surgery between 2004 and 2022 with a median follow-up of 6 months. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, surgical outcomes, complications, and classification of RRD. RESULTS: At baseline, 447/589 (76.1%) round hole RRD, and 133/589 (22.7%) retinal dialysis RRD. Overall primary SB success rate was 83.7% for all retinal detachment subtypes, with round hole retinal detachment 84.8% and dialysis RRD 81.2%. Overall, the baseline best-corrected visual acuity was 0.42 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and the final best-corrected visual acuity was 0.26 logMAR ( P < 0.0001). In macula-off RRD, the best-corrected visual acuity significantly improved from 0.79 to 0.48 logMAR ( P < 0.0001). In patients with macula-on RRD, it improved from 0.19 to 0.12 logMAR ( P = 0.014). Binary logistic regression showed registrar surgeon grade (odds ratio [OR] 0.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01-0.55), and partial or complete posterior vitreous detachment (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.10-0.49) was associated with reduced odds of primary success. Higher surgical failure was associated with low pre-fellowship SB surgeon experience ( P = 0.024). CONCLUSION: Favorable visual and functional outcomes have been reported in a large series of SB for primary retinal detachment, mainly for patients with round hole RRD and retinal dialysis RRD.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term anatomic and visual outcomes in eyes with sickle cell retinopathy-related retinal detachments (RDs). METHODS: Patients who underwent surgery for sickle cell retinopathy-related RDs at the Wilmer Eye Institute or Wills Eye Hospital between 2008 and 2020 and followed for at least 6 months postoperatively were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was the rate of single-surgery anatomic success and final reattachment. RESULTS: This study included 30 eyes from 28 patients (16 women and 12 men) with tractional RD (n = 13), rhegmatogenous RD (n = 1), and combined tractional RD/rhegmatogenous RD (n = 16). Mean age was 42.1 ± 15.1 years. The mean follow-up duration was 47.8 ± 34.1 months. Twenty-five (83.3%) eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy and five (16.7%) eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling. Single-surgery anatomic success was achieved in 21 (70.0%) eyes at 6 months. Final reattachment was achieved in 28 (93.3%) eyes (22 eyes [73.3%] without tamponade). Recurrence of RDs was significantly associated with male gender (P = 0.041), absence of previous laser (P = 0.032), iatrogenic breaks (P = 0.035), retinectomy (P = 0.034), and silicone oil tamponade (P = 0.024). Overall, the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity improved from 1.53 ± 0.57 (Snellen equivalent, 20/678) to 1.15 ± 1.01 (20/283) at the final visit (P = 0.03); however, eyes with recurrent RD did not achieve significant visual improvement. CONCLUSION: Pars plana vitrectomy to repair sickle cell retinopathy-related RDs was effective in achieving anatomic success and improving vision in most eyes. Single-surgery anatomic success is critical for optimizing visual outcomes.

PURPOSE: To report the clinical settings, management, and factors associated with outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with concurrent choroidal detachment. METHODS: Retrospective, consecutive, multicenter case series from January 2014 to January 2021 were included. Cases were from a tertiary eye care center in India and Taiwan. RESULTS: Overall 303 eyes were included. Mean age was 43.72 ± 20.64 years (median 46). Best-corrected presenting visual acuity was 1.79 ± 0.92 logMAR (median 2.10) (Snellen 20/1,233). Forty-four patients (17.91%) received preoperative steroids. Final visual acuity was 1.33 ± 0.94 logMAR (median 1.10) (Snellen 20/427). Favorable anatomic outcome was seen in 200/303 (66%), whereas favorable functional outcome was seen in 128/303 (42.20%). Factors predicting favorable anatomic outcome were absence of phakic lens status (odds ratio [OR] 2.76), absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy worse than Grade A (OR 7.69), use of preoperative steroids (OR 4.50), and use of an encircling band (3.85). Factors predicting favorable functional outcome were better presenting visual acuity (OR 3.03), absence of phakic lens status (OR 4.93), absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy worse than Grade A (OR 10.41), and use of preoperative steroids (OR 7.24). CONCLUSION: Administration of preoperative steroids, use of an encircling band during surgery, and pseudophakic status of the eye were found to have better outcomes in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with concurrent choroidal detachment.

PURPOSE: To describe modification of the suprachoroidal buckling technique for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), which may improve the safety profile. METHODS: A single-surgeon foot-pedal-controlled automated suprachoroidal injection (SCI) of sodium hyaluronate 1%, namely ProVisc (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) was used for the treatment of RRD. MicroDose Injection Kit (MedOne Surgical, Sarasota, FL) including a connector and a 1-mL syringe, designed for subretinal injection, was used to adapt Constellation Vision System (Alcon Laboratories) console for SCI of ProVisc from the 1-mL syringe. RESULTS: This approach enables better surgeon control during SCI. Three highly myopic eyes of three patients with primary macula-on RRD and single superior peripheral retinal break were treated. Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in all eyes without complications. CONCLUSION: Injecting ProVisc under foot-pedal control provides a more precise and potentially safer suprachoroidal buckling technique compared with the manual technique with more variable injection speed and pressure.

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy, safety, and indications for additional pneumatic retinopexy (PR) in patients with persistent retinal detachment after scleral buckling. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent additional PR after scleral buckling for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (n = 78). We defined "inadequate buckle" as retinal detachment persistence because of low buckle height despite accurate buckle placement and "buckle misplacement" as an uncovered tear because of incorrect buckle placement. RESULTS: The anatomical success rate after additional PR was 52.6%. Development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy Grade B (hazard ratio, 5.73; P < 0.001) and inferior retinal tears (hazard ratio, 2.12; P = 0.040) were significant risk factors for anatomical failure. The most common cause of anatomical failure was proliferative vitreoretinopathy (19 of 37; 51.4%), and epiretinal membrane formation was a common complication after additional PR (22 of 78; 28.2%). The anatomical success rate with additional PR was significantly higher in the inadequate buckle group than in the misplacement group (8 of 9 [88.9%] vs. 1228 [42.9%]; P = 0.023). CONCLUSION: Development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy Grade B and inferior retinal tears were significantly associated with anatomical failure after additional PR. Additional PR may benefit patients with superior retinal tears or low buckle height and those without proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence, rate, and pattern of progression of myopic maculopathy in eyes operated with macular buckle (MB) for myopic traction maculopathy versus a control group without surgery to find out whether the progression varies due to the MB's indentation and to evaluate possible MB-related pigmentary changes or atrophy. METHODS: Eyes operated with MB with two good quality fundus images: one preoperative or early postoperative image and a second image at least 12 months apart; the control group comprised the contralateral eyes. Demographics, axial length, follow-up, stage of myopic traction maculopathy, and myopic maculopathy were reported. Progression results of groups and subgroups (mid- and long-term follow-up) were reported and compared. RESULTS: Overall, 116 eyes of 66 patients were included. Progression was found in 29 eyes (41.4%) and 23 eyes (50%) in the MB group and control group, respectively. The progression rate was 73 per 1,000 eye-years and 88.9 per 1,000 eye-years in the MB group and the control group, respectively. Axial length was found to predict progression (odds ratio [OR], 2.59; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Progression of myopic maculopathy was similar in both groups and was mildly greater in the control group. No MB-related pigmentary changes or atrophy was detected.

PURPOSE: To evaluate outer retinal recovery on postoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) based on presenting morphologic stage of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Retrospective cohort of consecutive primary fovea-involving RRDs, referred from January 2012 to September 2022. Baseline OCTs were assessed for morphologic stage of RRD. Postoperative OCT scans were graded at 3, 6, and 12 months for external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone discontinuity, epiretinal membrane formation and severity, and residual subfoveal fluid. RESULTS: Three hundred and fifty-one patients were included. Increasing baseline morphologic stage of RRD was significantly associated with external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone, and interdigitation zone discontinuity at all time points postoperatively ( P < 0.001) and was shown to be an independent predictor of foveal photoreceptor integrity after adjusting for height of detachment, time to surgery, and duration of fovea involvement ( P < 0.001). Earlier stages were associated with residual subfoveal fluid ( P < 0.001). There was no association between the stages of RRD and epiretinal membrane severity. However, late stages presented with earlier development of epiretinal membrane ( P = 0.012). CONCLUSION: Increasing morphologic stage of RRD is associated with delayed recovery of outer retinal bands in the first year and faster development of epiretinal membrane after RRD repair. The results of this study suggest that the stages may serve as a prognostic biomarker for postoperative photoreceptor recovery.

PURPOSE: To investigate full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) that develop after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. METHODS: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients who underwent RRD repair between 2015 and 2021 and subsequently developed FTMH. Twenty-three patients (23 eyes) were included. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy + membrane peel for macular hole (MH) repair. RESULTS: The mean age at RRD diagnosis was 62 years and 52% were male. In total, 78% were macula-off RRDs. Fourteen eyes (60.9%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy alone, 7 (30.4%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling, 1 (4.3%) underwent scleral buckling only, and 1 (4.3%) underwent pneumatic retinopexy. Median time from RRD repair to MH diagnosis was 116 days. Macula-off RRDs had a significantly lower time to MH diagnosis (mean 154 days, P < 0.05) than macula-on RRDs (mean 875 days). Twenty-one MH (91%) had optical coherence tomography evidence of an epiretinal membrane. Mean logMAR visual acuity at MH diagnosis was 1.05 (â¼20/224) and significantly improved to 0.66 (â¼20/91) at the final follow-up ( P < 0.001); 100% of MHs closed by the final follow-up. CONCLUSION: Pars plana vitrectomy for MH after RRD repair has a high closure rate and leads to significant VA improvement. MH formation after RRD repair may be associated with macula-off detachments and epiretinal membrane. Macula-off RRDs develop MH faster than macula-on RRDs.

PURPOSE: To assess the functional outcomes in visual acuity, metamorphopsia, and vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) and to evaluate prognostic factors after macular buckling (MB) surgery in eyes with high myopia and foveoschisis (FS)-associated macular detachment (MD). METHODS: Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients with FS-associated MD who underwent MB surgery were enrolled. Measured outcomes comprised best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), metamorphopsia, VR-QOL, axial length (AL), macular reattachment, and resolution of foveoschisis. In addition, factors affecting final BCVA and metamorphopsia were analyzed. RESULTS: At 12 months postoperatively, 36 eyes (92.31%) achieved macular reattachment, 37 eyes (94.87%) achieved complete resolution of foveoschisis, and metamorphopsia diminished in 31 eyes (79.49%). LogMAR BCVAs at baseline and months 1, 3, 6, and 12 postoperatively were 0.62 ± 0.35 (20/83), 0.65 ± 0.3 (20/89), 0.59 ± 0.31 (20/77), 0.54 ± 0.31 (20/69), and 0.46 ± 0.27 (20/57) (P < 0.001), respectively. Metamorphopsia scores by M-CHARTS were 1.36° ± 0.51°, 1.04° ± 0.51°, 0.74° ± 0.47°, 0.59° ± 0.47°, and 0.13° ± 0.29° (P < 0.001). All Visual Function Questionnaire-25 subscales demonstrated significant improvement postoperatively, with the exception of "general health" (P = 0.08) and "driving" (P = 0.111). Preoperative BCVA was an independent risk factor for postoperative BCVA at month 12 (r = 0.638, P < 0.001), and the preoperative M-score was an independent risk factor for postoperative M-score at month 12 (r = 0.187, P = 0.045). CONCLUSION: MB surgery significantly improved BCVA, metamorphopsia, and VR-QOL in patients with FS-associated MD. Preoperative BCVA and metamorphopsia score were prognostic factors for postoperative BCVA and metamorphopsia score at month 12.

BACKGROUND: Pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (PRRDs) are complex, rare occurrences and are often related to trauma or congenital abnormalities. Children often do not recognize or report symptoms of retinal detachment. Thus at presentation, PRRD is typically advanced often with macular involvement, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), chronic duration, and poor visual acuity. Because 5-FU and LMWH are effective in different aspects in the PVR process, it was believed that a syngergistic approach to the prevention of PVR would be advantageous. METHODS: After informed consent, children under 14 years of age with high-risk PRRD underwent pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection with scleral buckle divided into 2 groups in prospective randomized trial. Group A received intraoperative infusion of 5-FU (200 µg/ml) and LMWH (5 IU/ml), group B received infusion of normal saline. Primary outcome was occurrence of recurrent PRRD within 12 weeks, secondary outcomes were occurrence of PVR, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), number and timing of secondary procedures within 12 weeks. RESULTS: The study included 42 eyes of 41 patients, 21 in group A and 21 in group B, the duration of PRRD ranged from 0.5 to 7 months in group A and 0.25-5 months in group B.The rate of recurrent PRRD was higher in group B 33% compared to 19% in group A (p = 0.292). The mean timing of occurrence of recurrent PRRD was 9.5 ± 5 weeks in group A compared to 2.86 ± 2.41 weeks in group B (p = 0.042), more patients in group B ended up with more advanced PVR (p = 0.038), BCVA was hand movement (HM) only in all cases preoperatively and improved to HM-0.3 Snellen in group A compared to light perception (PL)-0.1Snellen in group B (p = 0.035), there was no difference in any of secondary procedures but with later timing in group A 9.71 ± 3.73 weeks than in group B 4.0 ± 2.83 weeks (p = 0.042). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that the use of the 5-FU and LMWH combination in high risk PRRD resulted in lower rate of postoperative PVR, later recurrence of PRRD and better final BCVA.
