Article Abstract
Purpose: To report the anatomic and visual outcomes of eyes developing delayed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after macular surgery.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicentric study including eyes undergoing RRD repair at least 3 months after macular surgery for either full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) or epiretinal membrane (ERM). Anatomic and functional assessment, i.e., pre- and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indications and details of macular and RRD surgery, time interval from macular surgery to RRD, intraocular tamponade, location, extent of RRD, and nature of retinal break, was performed.
Results: Sixteen out of 2,906 eyes (0.55%) undergoing macular surgery developed RRD after 8.4 ± 5.8 months (mean ± SD). Intraoperative peripheral retina evaluation showed missed/de novo break (11 eyes; 68.75%), no identifiable break i.e., probable microbreak (two eyes; 12.5%), giant retinal tear (two eyes; 12.5%), and retinoschisis related break (one eye; 6.25%). Anatomical success, i.e., attached retina after one surgery, was seen in 14 eyes (87.5%). BCVA worsened from 0.6 ± 0.3 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/80) at baseline to 0.9 ± 0.8 logMAR (20/160) through the last visit ( P < 0.001).
Conclusion: RRD after macular surgery occurs predominantly via missed/de novo retinal breaks. A significant percentage (50%) of eyes showed worse visual acuity compared with baseline despite successful retinal reattachment.

Purpose: To explore the causal links between antihypertension drugs usage and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Multiple genetic analyses, including summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR), traditional MR, and colocalization analysis, were used to explore the causal associations between antihypertension drugs and AMD. Clinical data from the UK Biobank and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was applied to refined risk assessment of specific antihypertensive medications in the context of AMD development.

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism, intraoperative characteristics, management, and prevention of incision capsular bag herniation (ICBH), a previously unreported complication during cataract surgery in eyes with lens subluxation.
Methods: A retrospective observational case series was conducted on five male patients who developed ICBH during phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation between January 2019 and December 2024. Among 867 subluxated-lens surgeries performed during this period, the estimated incidence of ICBH was 0.

Background: Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) signify a critical phenotype driving vision loss in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study sought to develop and externally test a deep learning (DL) model to detect RPD on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans with expert-level performance.
Methods: RPD were manually segmented in 9800 OCT B-scans from individuals enrolled in a multicentre randomised trial.

Purpose: To identify predictors of the 2-year best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) injection for massive submacular hemorrhage (SMH) complicating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Study Design: A prospective, observational study.
Methods: This study included consecutive eyes with massive SMH and nAMD that underwent vitrectomy with subretinal tPA injection and follow-up for 2 years.
