“…Minimal information is available regarding the relationship between stereopsis and VR-QoL in patients with retinal disorders. Ng et al investigated the relationship between several visual functional parameters and VR-QoL in patients after RRD surgery and reported that stereopsis, not VA, was correlated with VR-QoL [ 10 ]. Several researchers have studied the relationship between stereopsis and VR-QoL in patients with cataracts.…”

“…However, visual functions other than VA are also related to VR-QoL in some vitreoretinal diseases. For example: the severity of metamorphopsia and aniseikonia, not VA, correlates with VR-QoL in patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) [ 7 , 8 ]; the severity of metamorphopsia, not VA, correlates with VR-QoL in patients with macular hole (MH) [ 9 ]; and CS and stereopsis, not VA, correlate with VR-QoL in patients after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery [ 10 ].…”

Visual functions that affect vision-related quality of life (VR-QoL) before and after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in patients with cystoid macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO-CME) are poorly understood. This multicenter, open-label, single-arm prospective study included 23 treatment-naïve patients with CRVO-CME. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), letter contrast sensitivity (LCS), severity of metamorphopsia (M-CHARTS), amount of aniseikonia (New Aniseikonia Test), and stereopsis (Titmus Stereo Test and TNO stereotest) were examined every month from before treatment to 12 months after treatment. For VR-QoL assessment, the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) was provided to the patients before treatment and at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the BCVA of the fellow eye was related to the VFQ-25 composite score before treatment, and that the BCVA of the fellow eye and TNO values were related to the VFQ-25 composite score 12 months after treatment. Changes in LCS were significantly correlated with changes in the VFQ-25 composite score. In patients with CRVO-CME, visual acuity of the fellow eye had the strongest impact on VR-QoL. The contrast sensitivity of the affected eye and stereopsis were also associated with VR-QoL.

“…For eyes with RRD that involved the macula, successful anatomic re-attachment by PPV was accompanied by aniseikonia in 42% to 58% of cases. 109–112 Similarly the rates of post-PPV metamorphopsia are high, ranging anywhere from 50% to 90%. 113–118 …”

Scleral buckling (SB) remains an important technique to master for those interested in treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Several ways to repair RRD include pneumatic retinopexy (PR), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), SB or a combination of these. There is a growing worldwide trend that favors PPV as the preferred method for retinal reattachment of primary uncomplicated RRD. Reimbursement issues, operating room access, and technological advances in PPV that improve retinal visualization and less exposure to SB during fellowship training may explain this trend. As the number of SB cases decreases over time, there is a risk that SB becomes a dying art and surgeons in training may not be trained in SB. SB is preferred in eyes with no posterior vitreous detachment and retinal dialysis. SB with minimal gas vitrectomy may be indicated for eyes with inferior pathology. Non-contact wide-angled visualization with chandelier assisted SB may be well suited for teaching new generations of aspiring vitreoretinal surgeons. Its functional and anatomic results compare favorably with conventional SB for primary uncomplicated primary RRD. The main advantage of this technique is the improved visualization even through small pupils. Better visualization ensures treatment of all breaks while avoiding complications during drainage of subretinal fluid and a safer placement of intrascleral sutures for scleral fixation of the buckling element. Recordings of the procedure are easily performed, allowing the surgeons involved to review the case and learn from it. The main disadvantage is the cost involved with the chandelier and the need to have a microscope or a 3D system with a wide angle viewing system. Photoreceptor re-alignment following retinal re-attachment is an important determinant of the post-operative functional outcomes. Different methods of retinal re-attachment apparently result in different degrees of photoreceptor re-alignment. SB may hold an advantage over PPV in this regard.

“…Ng et al reported that stereopsis was associated with the VR-QOL, specially during driving, after RD surgery. 20 However, no study has investigated the relationship between VR-QOL and stereopsis in patients with BRVO. In this study, we sought to elucidate the relationship between VR-QOL including subscales in detail and stereopsis, and reveal the time course of change in stereopsis for 12 months.…”

BackgroundTo investigate the relationship between stereopsis and vision-related quality of life (VR-QOL) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) before and after treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR).MethodsThis prospective multicentred observational study included 37 patients undergoing IVR treatment for unilateral BRVO and 24 age-matched healthy controls.Stereopsis was evaluated using the TNO stereo test (TNO) and Titmus stereo test (TST) every month, and the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) was administered at baseline, then at 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment.ResultsTime course of the changes in stereopsis and VR-QOL. IVR treatment significantly reduced central fovea thickness and improved both the TNO and the TST from 2 to 12 months (both p<0.05). Stereopsis before and after IVR injection in the eyes with BRVO were significantly worse than those in control subjects (TNO, p<0.001; TST, p<0.001). The VFQ-25 composite score significantly improved from 3 to 12 months after IVR treatment (p<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the TNO score at baseline was significantly correlated with the VFQ-25 composite score at baseline and after treatment (p<0.05, p<0.05, respectively). TST score was not associated with the VFQ-25 composite score at baseline or after treatment.ConclusionsTreatment with IVR for BRVO improved cystoid macular oedema, which was correlated to improved stereopsis, although not to the control level. The TNO score at baseline was associated with VR-QOL in patients with BRVO.
