We report a novel approach for managing traumatic total aniridia associated with secondary glaucoma. A 65-year-old male with symptoms of blurred vision, glare, and photophobia was managed in a district general hospital for post-traumatic aniridia associated with secondary glaucoma affecting the right eye. The patient previously suffered blunt ocular injury associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, which was treated with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil (SO) tamponade and subsequent removal of SO (ROSO). Combined trabeculectomy and implantation of a foldable prosthetic iris (Reper NN Ltd) successfully addressed the dual pathology of aniridia and secondary glaucoma. In summary, the utilization of the trabeculectomy fistula can serve as the implant insertion site, which minimizes the requirement for additional incisions.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel approach to implant Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana under a scleral flap in pseudophakic or aphakic, vitrectomized patients with secondary refractory glaucoma. Methods: A prospective interventional case series of three patients with secondary glaucoma after pars plana vitrectomy. Intraocular pressure was not controlled by silicone oil removal, if the patient was siliconized, nor the maximum medical treatment. Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana was implanted. We evaluated the control of intraocular pressure and the development of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: During 1-year follow-up, control of intraocular pressure was achieved; 14, 15, and 15 mmHg at the 3 months, and 15, 15, and 16 mmHg at the 6 months in our three cases without antiglaucoma treatment and 16, 16, and 18 with single antiglaucoma medication at 1 year. Blebs were posterior and diffuse. No complications were encountered intraoperatively or postoperatively. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed suprachoroidal posterior lake of fluid as an additional filtration route without any choroidal or retinal complication. Conclusion: Implantation of Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana in aphakic or pseudophakic, vitrectomized eyes is a promising, safe, and effective technique in patients with secondary glaucoma.

A 36-year-old patient presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens (IOL). The patient with the diagnosis of familial ectopia lentis was first operated on for crystalline lens subluxation in the left eye in 2007 and in the right eye in 2009. In both eyes, lens extraction with anterior vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of a rigid IOL was performed. In 2011, the IOL in the right eye luxated into the vitreous cavity due to ocular trauma. The patient underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with the IOL resuturation to the sclera. Seven years later, a spontaneous vision loss in the right eye was caused by a retinal detachment. The pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade and a consequential oil removal three months later were performed in 2018. The follow-up examination revealed recurrent IOL dislocation in the same eye. Due to a history of previous suture-related complications a decision was made to remove the subluxated rigid polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) IOL and fixate to sclera a sutureless SOLEKO FIL SSF Carlevale lens. The purpose of this report is to present a single case of a 36-year-old patient who was presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens. In a three-month follow-up period, a good anatomical and functional outcome was finally obtained with transscleral sutureless intraocular lens. This lens is an option worth considering especially in a young patient with a long life expectancy and physically active.

Purpose To report case of retinitis pigmentosa in association with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods An eight year old boy complained of a sudden visual loss. The patient had night blindness, bone spicule-like hyperpigmentation, pale optic disc in both eyes, and the retina was totally detached in the right eye. Results He was initially treated with conventional scleral buckling surgery, then pars plana vitrectomy with silicone tamponade was performed and retinal reattachment was established. After the phacoemulsification combined with silicone oil removal the final visual acuity of counting fingers was obtained. Conclusions The association of retinitis pigmentosa and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is uncommon in young patients.

Abstract Sympathetic Ophthalmia (SO) is a rare disease that presents as a bilateral, diffuse, granulomatous panuveitis. Sympathetic Ophthalmia is a clinical diagnosis with history of penetrating ocular injury in the inciting eye and presence of panuveitis in the sympathizing eye. Though early enucleation is believed to minimize the risk, there have been reports of SO even after enucleation of inciting eyes. The possible association between vitrectomy and SO has been initially proposed by Gass [9] and later studied extensively in a large cohort in the UK with an estimated SO risk of 1 in 799 vitrectomies [11]. There have been several case series and reports of SO following vitrectomy, however only three documented cases of SO following vitrectomy without use of silicone oil. These cases demonstrated an onset of SO ranging between 4 weeks to 2 months. We present a patient with SO in the sympathizing eye presenting 16 days after an uncomplicated 23-gauge (23G) sutureless pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) without the use of silicone oil.

We report a case of ocular toxoplasmosis that developed a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) which was successfully treated by pars plana vitrectomy combined with an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap. A 49-years-old Japanese man was aware of blurred vision in his right eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the right eye showed that there was a grayish-white subretinal lesion at the macula accompanied by retinal exudation and mild vitreous flare and iritis. An increase in the level of serum IgM for toxoplasma led to a diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis. He developed a FTMH adjacent to the lesion 2 weeks after administering sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and his decimal visual acuity was 0.15. Because the FTMH remained 3 months after the resolution of inflammation and his metamorphopsia persisted, vitrectomy with an inverted ILM flap was performed. After the surgery, the visual acuity improved to 0.2 with the closure of the FTMH confirmed by OCT. A FTMH in an eye with ocular toxoplasmosis was successfully closed by vitrectomy with an inverted ILM flap.

Vitrectomy Surgery

A 21-year-old woman developed simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in both eyes. She underwent pars plana vitrectomy surgery combined with endolaser photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade in the right eye. A week later, pneumatic retinopexy was done in the left eye. As the retinal tear did not seal, 360° scleral buckling surgery was performed and retina was attached. Bilateral simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after LASIK for correction of myopia can be a serious complication. Patients should be informed about the possibility of this complication.

Macular tears rarely occur without trauma. Here, we describe a patient with vitreous haemorrhage, which was caused by an unusual giant macular tear secondary to existing branch retinal vein occlusion. A 60-year-old woman presented with vision loss in the right eye because of vitreous haemorrhage. She had a history of branch retinal vein occlusion and had been treated with retinal photocoagulation 3 years prior. As treatment for vitreous haemorrhage, the patient underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade. During the operation, a large jagged tear was observed in the macula. We presumed that stretching of the fibrous proliferating membrane secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion was responsible for the macular tear and vitreous haemorrhage. Eventually, the results of pars plana vitrectomy led to anatomical closure of the macular tear and partial restoration of visual acuity.
