Perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) is a heavy liquid that is used as an aid for complicated retinal surgical procedures. Although PFO is usually removed intraoperatively, the radiographic appearance of retained PFO may mimic an intraocular foreign body or vitreous hemorrhage. As the use of PFO in retinal

OBJECTIVE To analyze factors that may lead to inadvertent subretinal retention of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) after vitreoretinal surgery and compare surgical outcomes and complications associated with these events. METHODS Consecutive retrospective study. METHODS The authors retrospectively

OBJECTIVE To assess the results of surgical excision of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. METHODS Sixty-four consecutive patients undergoing surgical removal of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a novel pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) approach with aqueous tamponade for repair of primary pseudophakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS Sixty nonconsecutive patients (60 eyes) with primary

OBJECTIVE These studies evaluated an erbium:YAG laser for transection of vitreous membranes, retinotomy, and incision and ablation of epiretinal membranes. METHODS Elevated vitreous membranes, detachments, and epiretinal membranes were induced in rabbit eyes. An erbium:YAG laser, emitting at a

BACKGROUND Inferior retinal detachment pathology can be difficult to manage due to inadequate tamponade with low specific gravity tamponade agents and the propensity for the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). We report the efficacy and adverse effects associated with the use of
