    Abstract Purpose: To determine whether pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) could get better functional and anatomical outcomes.
    Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed to find relevant studies. A meta-analysis was conducted by comparing the weighted mean differences (WMD) in the mean change of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline and calculating the odd ratios (OR) for rates of epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation and recurrence of retinal detachment (RD).
    Results: Fourteen studies were selected, including 2259 eyes (825 eyes in the ILM peeling group and 1434 eyes in the non-ILM peeling group). There was no significant difference in terms of mean change in BCVA from baseline and the rate of RD recurrence (WMD = 0.02, 95% CI, -0.20 to 0.24, P = 0.86, and OR = 0.55, 95% CI, 0.24 to 1.26, P = 0.16), but ILM peeling was associated with a significantly lower frequency of postoperative ERM formation (OR = 0.13, 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.26, P<0.00001). Similar results were obtained in a sub-analysis based on macula-off RRD.
    Conclusion: ILM peeling results in similar BCVA, with same rate of RD recurrence, but lower rate of postoperative ERM development. ILM peeling could be considered in selected cases with risk factors that are likely to develop an ERM.

    Abstract Introduction: Damage to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells caused by oxidative stress is closely related to the pathogenesis of several blinding retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, and other inherited retinal degenerative conditions. However, the mechanisms of this process are poorly understood. Hence, the goal of this study was to investigate hydrogen peroxide (H
    Methods: Cells from a human RPE cell line (ARPE-19 cells) were treated with H
    Results: Our results show that H
    Discussion: Our findings indicate that PRDX6 overexpression protects RPE cells from oxidative stress damage caused by decreasing ROS production and partially blocking the inhibition of the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway induced by oxidative stress. Therefore, PRDX6 shows promise as a therapeutic target for the prevention of RPE cell damage caused by oxidative stress associated with retinal diseases.

    Abstract To compare the baseline signal between two conditions used to generate the photopic negative response (PhNR) of the full-field electroretinogram (ERG): red flash on a blue background (RoB) and white flash on a white background (LA3). The secondary purpose is to identify how the level of pre-stimulus signal affects obtaining an unambiguous PhNR component. A retrospective chart review was conducted on four cohorts of patients undergoing routine ERG testing. In each group, LA3 was recorded the same way while RoB was generated differently using various luminances of red and blue light. The background bioelectrical activity 30 ms before the flash was extracted, and the root mean square (RMS) of the signal was calculated and compared between RoB and LA3 using Wilcoxon test. Pre-stimulus noise was significantly higher under RoB stimulation versus LA3 in all four conditions for both right and left eyes (ratio RoB/LA3 RMS 1.70 and 1.57 respectively,

    Abstract A pandemic outbreak of a viral respiratory infection (COVID-19) caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) prompted a multitude of research focused on various aspects of this disease. One of the interesting aspects of the clinical manifestation of the infection is an accompanying ocular surface viral infection, viral conjunctivitis. Although occasional reports of viral conjunctivitis caused by this and the related SARS-CoV virus (causing the SARS outbreak in the early 2000s) are available, the prevalence of this complication among infected people appears low (~1%). This is surprising, considering the recent discovery of the presence of viral receptors (ACE2 and TMPRSS2) in ocular surface tissue. The discrepancy between the theoretically expected high rate of concurrence of viral ocular surface inflammation and the observed relatively low occurrence can be explained by several factors. In this work, we discuss the significance of natural protective factors related to anatomical and physiological properties of the eyes and preventing the deposition of large number of virus-loaded particles on the ocular surface. Specifically, we advance the hypothesis that the standing potential of the eye plays an important role in repelling aerosol particles (microdroplets) from the surface of the eye and discuss factors associated with this hypothesis, possible ways to test it and its implications in terms of prevention of ocular infections.

    Abstract Tissue clearing technologies can greatly improve the depth and accuracy with which the three-dimensional structure of tissues, especially those of th*-e nervous system, can be visualized. A review of the present literature suggests that the growing diversity and sophistication of various approaches have contributed to the expansion of this method to a greater variety of tissue types, experimental conditions, and imaging modalities. In the proof-of-concept study presented in this paper, a simplified and modified version of the tissue clearing method CUBIC (clear, unobstructed brain imaging cocktails and computational analysis) was used in conjunction with fluorescent staining and immunohistochemistry to illustrate the three-dimensional structure and molecular characteristics of inflammatory and degenerative activity in the mouse optic nerve. Based on the studies summarized in this mini-review, and our impression from using the mCUBIC method, it appears that tissue clearing could be a viable approach revealing three-dimensional histological features of myelin-rich tissues under normal conditions and after injury.

    Abstract A 63-year-old male with a history of bladder cancer in remission presented with progressive vision loss during a period of 2 years. Slit-lamp and funduscopic examination were unremarkable. Electroretinogram (ERG) revealed an unrecordable scotopic response and a moderately decreased photopic response. Computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed a new duodenal mass. Subsequent biopsy disclosed malignant melanoma, and a diagnosis of melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) was made. The patient was then treated with a dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7 mg in his left eye. Two months after the implant, the patient reported a mild symptomatic improvement in his left eye, and ERG testing performed after the implant insertion revealed partial improvement in several scotopic and photopic ERG parameters. Repeat spectral-domain optical coherence tomography disclosed an improvement in retinal thickening. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report illustrating potential subjective visual improvement, improvement in retinal thickening, and ERG changes following treatment by intravitreal dexamethasone implant for MAR.

    Abstract Background: To report the outcomes of phacoemulsification combined with vitrectomy in eyes with extreme myopia (-30 diopters or more).
    Conclusions: To the best of the authors' knowledge, these represent the first reported clinical cases of combined cataract extraction+vitrectomy surgery in eyes with extreme (>-30 D) myopia. Our results support the notion that phacoemulsification combined with vitrectomy may be a good therapeutic option for cataracts and vitreous floaters in cases with extreme myopia.
