Aim: To report the clinical results of chelation of band keratopathy in long-term follow-up. Material and methods: The long-term results of 5 patients (5 eyes) with symptomatic band keratopathy with a follow-up period of at least 6 months, in whom 2% EDTA was chelated on the affected eye in the study period from April 2018 to March 2021, were retrospectively evaluated. The follow-up period was 9-37 months. Results: In all patients, there was a significant improvement in the local findings and an increase in the transparency of the cornea. The effect of therapy was verified on a color photograph of the anterior segment and on AS-OCT by the disappearance of subepithelial hyperreflective foci and accompanying optical shadows. Postoperatively, this enabled a more detailed visualization of the deeper layers of the cornea and other structures of the anterior segment. In a patient with the potential to improve vision, it was also possible to significantly improve visual functions. In the other three patients with pain in the affected eye, the pain subsided, and they also benefited cosmetically from the operation. Conclusion: Based on our experience and previously published reports, EDTA corneal chelation is able to causally resolve the pathology and improve vision in eyes with visual potential. At the same time, it reduces discomfort and has an analgesic effect in long-term irritated eyes. The operation is also suitable for amaurotic, cosmetically unsightly bulbs, as a successful intervention preserving the eye and improving the appearance of such eyes leads to satisfaction and a subjective increase in the quality of life of the patients.

Aim: To report the clinical results of treatment of patients with retinal tears or holes, including rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, who were treated primarily with laser retinopexy. Material and methods: The effect and results of the therapy of patients with one or more retinal tears who underwent therapy with the green laser IQ 532 IRIDEX between December 2019 and August 2022 at our center with a follow-up observation period of at least 3 months were retrospectively evaluated. Results: A total of 14 eyes of 14 patients were treated by this method during the monitored period. All the tears found were primarily successfully repaired. The overall success rate of prophylaxis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was 93% in our cohort. In one patient, subsequent pars plana vitrectomy was required due to the progression of retinal detachment from another biomicroscopically inaccessible hole, which was part of lattice degeneration in the peripheral part of the retina. This pathology was only verified during intraocular surgery. Postoperatively, the retina was attached with a very good anatomical and functional effect. The other patients did not require any adjuvant therapy. Visual functions improved or remained stable in all patients in the cohort. The follow-up observation period ranged from 3 to 36 months. Conclusion: Laser retinopexy is a sparing, safe and effective method of retinal tear therapy. From our clinical experience, the technique is also applicable in the case of partial vitreous hemorrhage or incipient rhegmatogenous detachment. We did not record any complications of perioperative or postoperative treatment among our patients.
