RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To investigate preoperative and postoperative factors affecting functional success in anatomically successful retinal detachment surgery. METHODS: Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent anatomically successful surgery from 2014 to 2019 with more than 1 year follow-up were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, ocular examination findings, preoperative and postoperative spectral domain optic coherence tomography images were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age was 53.9 ± 17 years (range, 11-85 years). The mean follow-up period was 36.7 ± 16 months (range, 14-72 months). The mean best-corrected visual acuity of the patients before surgery was 1.35 ± 1.24 and at postoperative 12 months was 0.66 ± 0.5 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. Patients who were operated in 7 days of visual symptoms onset were found to have better visual acuity at the first and subsequent postoperative exams. Preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy, vitreous hemorrhage, and extent of retinal detachment were found to have a negative effect on functional success at 12 months. Regeneration of the outer retinal layers had a positive effect on visual acuity at 12 months but did not significantly increase visual acuity after 12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative external limiting membrane integrity was significantly associated with better functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Early intervention, presence of preoperative external limiting membrane integrity, and restoration of postoperative outer retinal layers positively affected functional success. The presence of preoperative vitreous hemorrhage, preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and the extent of retinal detachment had a negative effect on prognosis at 12 months.

PURPOSE: To examine real-world telemedicine outcomes of diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening with artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis, reflex dilation, and secondary image overread in a primary care setting. DESIGN: Validity and reliability analysis. METHODS: Single institution review of 1052 consecutive adult patients who received diabetic retinopathy photoscreening in the primary care setting over an 18-month period. Nonmydriatic fundus photographs were acquired and analyzed by the IDx-DR AI-based system. When nonmydriatic images were ungradable, reflex dilation (1% tropicamide) and mydriatic photography were performed for repeat AI-based analysis. Manual overread was performed on all images. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and screening outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 965 of 1052 patients (91.7%) had AI-gradable fundus photographs: 580 had gradable nonmydriatic imaging (55.1%) and 440 of 472 patients with ungradable nonmydriatic photographs had reflex dilation (93.2%). One hundred thirty-eight of 965 patients (14.3%) were AI-graded as "positive" (greater than mild NPDR) and 827 of 965 were "negative" (85.7%), with 100% sensitivity (95% CI 90.8-100%), 89.2% specificity (95% CI 87.0-91.1%), 27.5% positive predictive value (95% CI 24.0-31.4%), and 100% negative predictive value (95% CI 99.6-100%) compared with manual overread assessment of greater than mild NPDR requiring further evaluation with a comprehensive dilated examination. Image gradeability was inversely related to patient age: 93.5% gradable (61.9% nonmydriatic) for patients aged <70 years vs 85.3% (31.0% nonmydriatic) for patients aged 70+ years (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Incorporation of AI-based image analysis into real-world primary care diabetic retinopathy screening yielded no false negative results and offered excellent image gradeability within a protocol combining nonmydriatic fundus photography and pharmacologic dilation, as needed. Image gradeability was lower with increasing patient age.

PURPOSE: To report optical coherence tomography findings of choroidal melanoma with subretinal fluid (SRF). METHODS: Single-center, retrospective review of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in treatment-naive choroidal melanoma with associated SRF presenting between July 2009 and August 2021. RESULTS: Of 236 included patients, choroidal melanoma was small (n = 98, 41.5%), medium (n = 99, 41.9%), or large (n = 39, 16.5%). The most common optical coherence tomography feature was ellipsoid zone loss/disruption (n = 174, 73.7%), with unique features of bacillary layer detachment (n = 67, 28.4%), and heterogenous (n = 72, 30.5%) or homogenous (n = 48, 20.3%) subretinal hyperreflective material. Comparison (small vs. medium vs. large) revealed greater SRF extent with increasing tumor size (SRF ≥2 quadrants: 6.1% vs. 27.2% vs. 67.7%, P < 0.001). Ellipsoid zone disruption was less common in small tumors (52.0% vs. 86.9% vs. 94.9%, P < 0.001). Bacillary layer detachment was more common in medium tumors (16.3% vs. 40.4% vs. 28.2%, P < 0.001) and, compared with eyes without bacillary layer detachment, was associated with more SRF (minimal SRF vs. SRF ≥1 quadrant: likelihood ratio 18.8, P < 0.001) and more frequent heterogenous subretinal hyperreflective material (58.2% vs. 19.5%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography features of choroidal melanoma-associated SRF vary by tumor size, with greater SRF extent in larger tumors, less ellipsoid zone disruption in small tumors, and more bacillary layer detachment in medium tumors.
