Article Abstract
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (retinal detachment, RD) is the most common cause of spontaneous vision loss in aging eyes that were seeing normally until the moment of its occurrence. Causative retinal breaks usually occur in the form of peripheral tears at the vitreous base, resulting from traction exerted by the aging vitreous as it detaches posteriorly. Peripheral encircling laser retinopexy increases retinal resistance to vitreous traction in high-risk eyes. To achieve maximal lifetime prophylaxis, we show that in selected high-risk cases the vitreous can thereafter be removed by advanced vitrectomy techniques, reducing vitreous traction itself.

In 2022, Dr. Ebony Michelle Collins-a scholar, author, and vision-health advocate-suffered sudden bilateral retinal detachment and blindness following a COVID-19 infection, despite no prior history of ocular disease. Her story reveals a largely overlooked consequence of the pandemic: the potential for serious neurological and ocular complications.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of intravitreal faricimab and aflibercept injections in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Methods: This retrospective study analysed 111 treatment-naïve eyes (111 patients) with PCV who received intravitreal injections of either faricimab (30 eyes) or aflibercept (81 eyes). All patients were treated with three initial monthly loading injections.

Department of Ophthalmology, St. Michael's Hospital/Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Purpose: To report reattachment rate (RR) of pars plana vitrectomy-suprachoroidal viscopexy (VIT-SCVEXY) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Additionally, this study compares the anatomic reattachment rate and functional outcomes of VIT-SCVEXY vs pars plana vitrectomy with traditional scleral buckle (PPV-SB) at postoperative month 3 and final follow-up.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at St.
