BACKGROUND Until the advent of pars plana vitrectomy, no efficient treatment for non-resorbing vitreous haemorrhage was at hand. Especially if the cause of the vitreous haemorrhage was not known, such as in most cases of non-diabetic and non-oculotraumatic vitreous haemorrhage, a lot of time often was lost by waiting for the resorption, because of the lack of any effective treatment modality. ...

AIM The aim of the paper was to present the efficacy and indications for application of conventional surgical treatment of retinal detachment by using external implants, that is,application of encircling band and buckle. MATERIAL AND METHOD This study comprised patients from the University Eye Clinic in Skopje. A total of 33 patients were diagnosed and surgically treated in the period between...

First described by Jaffe in 1967, vitreomacular traction (VMT) is a disease entity in which incomplete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) results in tractional forces on the retina that can lead to morphologic changes and functional vision deficits.1 It is estimated that VMT affects 1% to 2% of the population, although the rate is believed to be much higher among individuals with diabetic eye ...

The vitreous body is nearly transparent both optically and ultrasonically. Conventional 10- to 12-MHz diagnostic ultrasound can detect vitreous inhomogeneities at high gain settings, but has limited resolution and sensitivity, especially outside the fixed focal zone near the retina. To improve visualization of faint intravitreal fluid/gel interfaces, the authors fabricated a spherically curved ...

PURPOSE To report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the late stage, despite the fact that it had previously been halted after intravitreal injection of an antimicrobial agent against endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE). CASE This study involved a 62-year-old male who had previously been diagnosed with septicemia due to liver abscess and the detection of Klebsiella pneumoni...
