Article Abstract
To study the long-term outcomes of standard ILM peeling and fovea sparing with inverted flap (FSIF) peeling for symptomatic myopic foveoschisis (MF). This retrospective observational study included 36 eyes of 34 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy with standard ILM peeling and FSIF peeling for MF between April 2012 and march 2020. The primary outcome measures included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal thickness (CFT) at 1 month and final visit and postoperative development of macular hole. There were 14 eyes in the standard ILM peeling group and 22 eyes and in the FSIF peeling groups with a mean FU of 34.2 months (SD 23.3; min. 12-max. 96) and 27.7 months (SD 14.9; min. 12-max. 63), respectively. In both groups BCVA was not significantly improved at 1 month but improved at last visit from 0.55 ± 0.21 to 0.37 ± 0.29 in the standard ILM peeling group (P = 0.0154) and from 0.57 ± 0.27 to 0.28 ± 0.23 in the FSIF peeling group (P < 0.0001). At 1 month and final visit CMT decreased from 572 ± 183.5 µm to 277.5 ± 95.2 µm and to 250.4 ± 96.1 µm, respectively, in the standard ILM peeling group and from 589.9 ± 189.8 µm to 383 ± 110.1 µm and 162.3 ± 74.8 µm in the FSIF peeling group (P < 0.001 for both groups at both time-points). The preoperative and postoperative BCVA and CMT showed no significant differences between groups. Three of the eyes in the standard ILM peeling group developed postoperative macular hole at 1, 10, 24 months, respectively, and none of the eyes in the FSIF peeling group. Multivariate analysis revealed that a better BCVA was the only independent factor correlated with the final BCVA. In this study, standard ILM peeling and FSIF peeling were both beneficial in improving the anatomy and function of eyes with MF. Postoperative MH may occur up to 2 years after standard peeling and seem effectively prevented by FSIF peeling.

The epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular layer that forms on the inner surface of the retina, often leading to visual impairment and significantly impacting visual function. Understanding the pathophysiology of ERM formation is crucial for advancing ophthalmic care and improving patient outcomes. This research aims to investigate the pathophysiology of ERM by comparing the internal limiting membrane (ILM) pathology in patients with and without ERM.

Background: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a growing global health threat; reliable evidence on its impact is crucial for prioritising public health interventions.
Objective: This study provides an updated, systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the true effect size of resistant infections on economic and clinical outcomes. It also evaluates methodologies used in ABR economic literature, offering recommendations for improving future research.

Purpose: Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in macular hole (MH) surgery is critical but challenging, and current practices lack standardized tools for quantifying and visualizing optimal peeling dimensions.This study aimed to develop a machine learning framework to recommend surgeon-specific ILM peeling radius during macular hole surgery, integrating predictive modeling with schematic visualization to guide operative planning.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 95 patients with idiopathic MH who underwent vitrectomy with ILM peeling.

Macular hole surgery, primarily pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling (ILM) and gas tamponade, has become the standard of care for full-thickness macular hole (FTMH). Despite the 85% to 95% anatomical closure rate, several aspects of the procedure are well accepted whereas some may remain controversial among vitreoretinal surgeons. An international panel of experts (IPE) comprising 27 experts from 10 countries/territories was established to evaluate a total of 38 consensus statements on ILM peeling extent, vital dye selection, face-down positioning requirements, tamponade options, timing of surgery and re-surgery, management of difficult and refractory cases, and adjuvant therapies.

Background: A macular hole (MH) is a retinal condition affecting the central macula, leading to progressive visual impairment. Pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is the standard surgical treatment, while the inverted ILM flap technique has emerged as a promising alternative. However, the effectiveness of this technique was still debated.
