To investigate 1-year clinical outcome and complication rates following Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) with sulfur hexafluoride 20% (SF620%) anterior chamber tamponade compared conventionally used 100% air for primary graft attachment during DMEK surgery.Records of 1112 consecutive DMEKs were reviewed retrospectively grouped by surgery (SF620% vs air). Outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), cell density (ECD)...
Abstract Background Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT-4 and Google Gemini show potential for patient health education, but concerns about their accuracy require careful evaluation. This study evaluates the readability of in answering questions retinal detachment. Methods Comparative analyzing responses from to 13 detachment questions, categorized by difficulty levels (D1, D2, D3). Masked were reviewed ten vitreoretinal specialists rated on correctness, errors, thematic accuracy,...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic power novel two-dimensional parameter Bruch's membrane opening minimal rim area (BMO-MRA) in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for detection glaucoma compared width (BMO-MRW) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness large small optic discs. Methods: In case-control, cross-sectional study, 207 eyes participants, including 89 controls 97 patients with 21 ocular hypertension (OHT), a disc size <1.63 mm2 or...
<h3>Purpose</h3> To assess the performance of Bruch9s membrane opening (BMO)-based spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) optic nerve head for glaucoma detection in microdiscs comparison with confocal scanning laser (CSLT). <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective cohort study. <h3>Methods</h3> 82 eyes patients disc size <1.63 mm<sup>2</sup> underwent SD-OCT and CSLT measurements, visual field testing clinical examination. BMO-based minimal rim width (BMO-MRW), retinal fibre layer...
Abstract Purpose To characterize the two‐dimensional parameter Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim area ( BMO ‐ MRA ) in spectral domain optical coherence tomography SD OCT of optic nerve head ONH compared to width MRW and retinal fibre layer RNFL thickness a large patient cohort. Methods Case–control, cross‐sectional study 705 eyes 445 participants. A total 449 with glaucoma, 67 ocular hypertension 189 healthy controls, underwent confocal laser scanning CSLT ), visual field testing...
Purpose: Corneal neovascularization is the main risk factor for graft rejection after high-risk penetrating keratoplasty (PK). crosslinking (CXL) has been shown to regress pathological corneal blood and lymphatic vessels reduce of PK experimentally in mice. The aim this work was analyze whether CXL also able patients a safe procedure context PK. Methods: This retrospective case series included 5 with progressive need because and/or keratitis that received between April 2019 January 2020....
Purpose Formation of a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) after vitrectomy is rare. The aim this study was to describe risk factors, clinical course, anatomical and functional prognosis secondary FTMH development following surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods Retrospective study. Eyes treated RRD at two centers between 01/2012 12/2022 were screened those that developed pars plana (PPV) without membrane peeling included in our analysis. Results 29 eyes (mean...
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is an ophthalmological emergency with increasing incidence in Germany. Despite established methods, perioperative positioning important to improve outcomes and avoid complications but may be challenging, particularly immobile patients. An analysis of the current trends surgical treatment practices for RRD Germany compared historical data from 2018 essential. online survey five hypothetical cases acute was distributed vitreoretinal surgeons via...
In Brief Purpose: To evaluate functional and anatomical outcomes of patients with retinal redetachments (re-RD) after surgery for primary rhegmatogenous detachment. Methods: Medical records eyes re-RD detachment between 1999 2014 at the Department Ophthalmology, University Cologne, Germany, were retrospectively evaluated. Data included preoperative postoperative clinical findings, best-corrected visual acuity, presence grade proliferative vitreoretinopathy, surgical procedures, complication...
Background: The three-dimensional surface imaging system is becoming more common in plastic surgeries. However, few studies have assessed periocular structures and surgical outcomes. This study aimed to propose a standardized anthropometric protocol for the region, investigate its precision accuracy, determine norms young Caucasians. Methods: Thirty-nine healthy Caucasians (78 eyes) were enrolled. Three-dimensional facial images obtained with VECTRA M3 stereophotogrammetry device....
To compare margin-based rim area measurements from confocal scanning laser tomography (CSLT) with Bruch's membrane opening (BMO)-based spectral domain optical coherence (SD-OCT) by analysis of a group non-glaucomatous eyes large optic discs, so-called macrodiscs (disc size >2.45 mm2 in CSLT). Objective is to create reference base for nerve heads SD-OCT diagnostics.102 received CSLT and clinical examination on the same day. Visual field testing confirmed absence glaucomatous defects....
Purpose: To assess possible intraday variability in Bruch's membrane opening–based (BMO) assessment of neuroretinal rim by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) the optic nerve head (ONH) as well to evaluate its independence from intraindividual IOP changes. Methods: In this noninterventional, prospective cohort study, 51 consecutively enrolled patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension underwent standardized SD-OCT ONH and at two different time points a gap 5 hours on...
