Retinal detachment etiology, inadequate vitreous base shaving, lack of intraoperative scleral buckling, and vitreous hemorrhage at the first postoperative week after SO removal were significant risk factors for retinal redetachment after SO removal, but preoperative visual acuity, SO viscosity, and duration of SO had no significant effect on redetachment.
Choroidal thickness at five points and central foveal thickness in both eyes did not significantly differ in scleroderma patients compared with healthy controls. Choroidal thickness at the T3 and N3 points showed a negative correlation with anti-nuclear antibody positivity.
In acromegalic patients, the duration of disease was correlated with IOPg OD level. Corneal biomechanical parameters and CCT values were not significantly different than those in age-matched and sex-matched healthy individuals.
Purpose To report the management of accidental macular photocoagulation during a 750-nm Alexandrite laser hair removal procedure. Methods Single case report with images. Results A 23-year-old girl presented with an immediate visual field defect in her right eye after direct inadvertent exposure to a single discharge from a 750-nm Alexandrite laser used for laser hair removal. Baseline Snellen visual acuity was 20/20 in the involved right eye but the patient reported a subjective visual field defect. She was treated with oral methylprednisolone that was started at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day and then gradually reduced. Six months after the initial exposure, the final visual acuity was 20/20 and there was a significant improvement in the macular lesion. However, the subjective visual field defect continued. She underwent multimodal retinal imaging with optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescence angiography, and optical coherence tomography angiography in addition to a visual field test and microperimety. Conclusion The present case documents a gradual visual and anatomical improvement following macular photic damage after accidental occupational exposure to a 750-nm Alexandrite laser. The treatment should be arranged according to the localization of the laser damage. Optical coherence tomography angiography also has the potential to help noninvasively detect choriocapillaris damage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
