Takkar B, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-221761 Description A 78-year-old male presented with blurring of vision in right eye (RE) since 2 months. He was diagnosed to have retinal detachment in RE 27 years ago, which had been successfully repaired with scleral buckling surgery. Retinal holes had been treated with laser prophylaxis in left eye (LE). On examination, visual acuity ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical outcomes of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal in highly myopic eyes with retinal detachment caused by a macular hole. Nineteen, consecutive, highly myopic eyes with full thickness macular hole with retinal detachment were treated by vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal, endolaser photocoagulation on the cent...

Purpose To report the case of a 39-year-old man with bilateral Eales disease. Methods The clinical, angiographic, and ultrasonographic evaluations of the patient were thoroughly and specifically carried out. Results The treatment consisted of pars plana vitrectomy and endolaser treatment at the time of surgery to the left eye and laser scatter retinal photocoagulation to the right eye. Post...

Purpose To report the surgical management of a combined rhegmatogenous and traction retinal detachment associated with a vasoproliferative tumor secondary to sickle cell retinopathy. Observations A 29 year old man from Ghana presented with unilateral vision loss, ischemic retina and sea fan neovascularization in both eyes and a retinal detachment nearby a vasoproliferative tumor (VPT) in the ...

Accidental laser exposure to the eyes may result in serious visual impairment due to retina degeneration. Currently limited treatment is available for laser eye injury. In the current study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) for laser-induced retinal trauma. Lineage negative bone marrow cells (Lin(-) BMCs) were labelled with quantum dots (Qdots)...

Since its discovery in the 1940s, retinal photocoagulation has evolved immensely. Although the first photocoagulators utilised incandescent light, it was the invention of laser that instigated the widespread use of photocoagulation for treatment of retinal diseases. Laser permits choice of electromagnetic wavelength in addition to temporal delivery methods such as continuous and micropulse mode...

Vitreous opacities, often known as floaters, are a commonly diagnosed disease that appears to be prevalent in retinal surgery. Although most patients' symptoms minor, they can cause severe impairment vision-related quality of life certain people. The awareness the visual handicap caused by well evidence foundation for treating this problem using small-gauge vitrectomy, has grown. Nonetheless, s...
