Article Abstract
: The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and severity of refractive errors that occur following the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with anti-vascular growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents and laser photocoagulation. : A review of the literature using three databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline) was performed using appropriate search terms, and the results of the relevant studies were compiled and extracted for descriptive analysis. : Sixty articles were identified. The cohorts in the studies were treated with either anti-VEGF monotherapy, laser photocoagulation, or a combination, with a high prevalence of myopia, ranging from 0 to 47.7%. Refractive errors of myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and anisometropia were considered in infants who received ocular interventions for ROP. : In comparison to laser photocoagulation, anti-VEGF monotherapy appears to yield lower levels of myopia and anisometropia; however, the incidence of hypermetropia and astigmatism is variable among cohort groups treated with different anti-VEGF agents.

Surgical management of two cases with macular exudation from retinal macroaneurysms refractory to focal photocoagulation.

Purpose: To report two cases of macular exudations resulting from retinal arterial macroaneurysms (MaAs) refractory to focal photocoagulations that were treated with a new surgical technique including subretinal balanced saline solution (BSS) injection to dilute lipid-rich subretinal fluid (SRF) and facilitate absorption of the SRF, intentional retinal hole formation to direct SRF into the vitreous cavity, and laser photocoagulation posterior to the MaAs to prevent intraretinal fluid and SRF from reaching the fovea.
Observations: A 70-year-old man with macular edema (ME) refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy was referred to our hospital. Fundus examination showed retinal arterial MaAs and hard exudations.
Predicting Treatment Response in Retinal Vein Occlusions Using Baseline Optical Coherence Tomography Biomarkers: A Systematic Review.

Department of Surgery, Division of Ophthalmology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore National Eye Center, Singapore. Electronic address:
This systematic review examines the prognostic value of baseline optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers in predicting visual acuity (VA) outcomes for eyes with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusions (RVO) treated with anti-VEGF therapies, steroids, laser photocoagulation, or combination treatments. VA predictions at 6, 12, and 24 months post-treatment were assessed using a narrative synthesis approach and vote counting based on effect direction relative to a minimal clinically important difference. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE guidelines.

IntroductionMuscle eye brain disease (MEB) is a rare, multi-systemic autosomal recessively inherited disorder of relevance to ophthalmologists. The aim of this report is to describe a novel ocular phenotype for a genetically confirmed MEB patient using retinal multi-modal imaging.Case descriptionWe report a case of 18-year-old male patient that was referred to our tertiary unit for management of retinal detachment.
