Intrascleral fixation of the intraocular lens (IOL) was first reported by Gabor et al. in 2007 [ 1 ]. Kobayakawa et al. introduced this technique in Japan in 2010, and this technique has garnered attention as a method for IOL fixation in patients …

Giant retinal tears (GRT) are defined as full-thickness breaks of three clock hours or more in circumferential extent associated with a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) [ 1 , 2 ]. Mostly GRTs arise idiopathic and affect middle-aged men [ 1 ].

Chronic retinal detachment can be described as retinal detachment which is present longer than three months, with clinical findings of pigmented demarcation line, retinal thinning, subretinal bands, intra-retinal cysts and subretinal crystalline …

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) are often repaired using gas and silicone oil (SO) as intraocular tamponades [ 1 ]. Multiple studies over the years suggest that gas and SO to be effective and safe for this purpose [ 2 , 3 ]. However, a …

Retained intraocular foreign body(IOFB) is an ophthalmic emergency, which account for 14–29% of open-globe injuries [ 1 , 2 ]. About 78–96% of IOFB are metallic in nature, the majority of which are magnetic [ 2 – 4 ]. Retained metallic IOFBs often …

Scleral indentation is essential to visualize and stabilize the peripheral retina during vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). [ 1 ] This enables examination of the peripheral retina up to the ora serrata by pushing the peripheral …

Malignant glaucoma (MG), also known as ciliary block glaucoma or aqueous misdirection syndrome, is a form of rare secondary angle-closure glaucoma that causes serious vision damage [ 1 – 3 ]. MG is generally considered a complication after inner …

Uveitis includes various disease entities and creates diagnostic and management challenges. The first step for successful management of uveitis is based on accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Medical treatment remains the mainstay of …

The past 30 years has witnessed the development, and transition to the use, of vitrectomy instruments that result in smaller, less traumatic sclerotomies and incisions. These smaller gauge instruments ensure improved intraocular pressure control …

In-the-bag implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) might not be possible in the absence of adequate capsular support. Crystalline lens/IOL dislocation are common indications for sutured or sutureless intrascleral fixation of IOL. Since first …

Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) has evolved since the initial development of a 17-gauge (17-G) (1.42 mm diameter) vitreous infusion suction cutter by Robert Machemer in 1970. Since then, and after the limitations involving 20-gauge (20-G) systems …

The development of new drugs, surgical techniques and improved preventive medicine after the Second World War and during the Pax Americana [ 1 ], led to declining mortality rates and an increase in the proportion of people surviving to old age. In …
