Sep 4th, 2019 - At the end of some retinal surgeries, a gas bubble is placed in the eye. In surgeries for retinal detachment, this gas bubble helps to keep the tear(s) in the retina sealed up while the eye is healing and prevent the retina from re-detaching. In m...

Feb 20th, 2019 - We evaluate the intraoperative optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images of eyes with idiopathic macular hole (MH) or lamellar macular hole whether the intraoperative OCT findings will affect postoperative visual outcome.

May 12th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Some full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) can close without surgery, according to a new case series. "We found that small holes - under 200 microns in diameter - can close within a few months, traumatic macular holes can...

Jan 6th, 2021 - Among retina surgeons, there is an ongoing debate around the value and necessity of face-down positioning after macular hole surgery. Historically, patients with macular hole surgery would be positioned face down for 2-3 weeks, although the number...

Nov 28th, 2017 - The inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique may provide advantages for repairing macular holes compared with the standard surgical approach, according an expert who developed the approach. A new technology -- optical coherence tomograph...
