BA leads to necrosis of RPE cells and triggers mitochondrial apoptosis through both caspase-dependent and - independent pathways. Extreme caution is suggested in the intraocular use of TA suspensions and meticulous evaluation before adoption of BA as a preservative in the future development of ophthalmic formulations.

Improvement of visual acuity and cessation of fluorescein leakage in the tumor showed that subthreshold (i.e., biomicroscopically invisible laser effect) TTT served as an effective treatment modality in the early resolution of macular subretinal fluid in choroidal metastasis. Multiple sessions of subthreshold TTT are safe to apply very close to the macula.

Intraocular gas tamponade and grid laser photocoagulation in the macula for the management of recurrent macular hole retinal detachment provides good long-term anatomic success and acceptable functional results.

We successfully used high-density vitreous substitutes to remove four dislocated crystalline lenses and three dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs) from the vitreous cavity. Fluorosilicone oil (300 cs) was used to remove the four lenses and one of the IOLs. Perfluorophenanthrene (Vitreon®! was used to remove the other two dislocated IOLs. The dislocated lenses or 1OLs were floated by the high-density vitreous substitutes and removed safely without damaging the retina; there were no intraoperative complications. Postoperative residual fluorosilicone oil droplets were found in one case.
