Background: Modifications of the inner retinal layer is a frequent observation following pars plana vitectomy. Aim Work: To assess early changes thickness Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer after vitrectomy by ocular coherence tomography. Patients and Methods: This non-interventional observational study, in which 30 eyes patients underwent Examination Pars Plana Vitrectomy OCT. Cases were performed at O...

The epiretinal membrane is a thin sheet of fibrous tissue that can form over the macular area retina, and may result in loss visual acuity or metamorphopsia, due to superficial retinal folds. A vitrectomy surgery, current treatment procedure for this pathology, only performed after symptoms are present. However, sometimes patients do not present any vision improvements surgery. use computationa...

Purpose. To demonstrate the long-term effectiveness of vitrectomy for intermediate uveitis (IU) and to determine whether complete control of inflammation before vitrectomy is necessary. Methods. This retrospective study included 66 eyes of 66 patients with IU who underwent vitrectomy for vitreoretinal complications. Eyes were followed for at least 12 months after vitrectomy. The degree of infla...

PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on secondary glaucoma and visual acuity outcomes in patients with retained lens fragments after phacoemulsification. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 126 patients who had vitrectomy for retained lens fragments after phacoemulsification during the 3-year period between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 1995.

Background/Aim. Different surgical interventions have been proposed, including trabeculectomy associated with antiproliferative agents because silicone oil (SO) removal cannot necessarily provide intraocular pressure (IOP) control. The aim of the study was to determine efficacy mitomycin C (MMC) for lowering IOP in patients open-angle glaucoma (OAG) secondary emulsified SO after pars plana vitr...

The management of Candida albicans endophthalmitis in intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs) has yet to be established. Early vitrectomy was previously reported as a promising treatment for C. albicans endophthalmitis. In our series, C. albicans endophthalmitis was diagnosed for 15 IVDAs. Funduscopic examinations confirmed severe vitritis in 12 patients and chorioretinitis in three. Blood and vitreal...

PURPOSE To assess the trends in pars plana vitrectomy surgery rates and factors affecting rate change between 2002 and 2013 in South Korea. METHODS Data from National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort 2002-2013, which represents 1,025,340 samples with a sampling rate of 2.2% from the total eligible Korean population, was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 3,816 vitrectomy procedures...
