PURPOSE: In cases of macular hole (MH) that is difficult to close, including large, chronic, or highly myopic cases, the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique is often preferred and yields favorable surgical outcomes as compared to those yielded by conventional ILM peeling. However, no consensus exists on the optimal location and area for peeling and inverting the ILM, since multiple alternative methods have been reported alongside the original method. Several adverse effects associated with ILM peeling have been documented, including mechanical impairment of the retinal nerve fiber layer and decreased retinal sensitivity. Particularly, when glaucoma is concomitant, the retinal nerve fiber layer is fragile, raising concerns about a decrease in retinal sensitivity. Consequently, in patients with large MH alongside glaucoma, the goal is to select a procedure that maximizes the closure rate of the MH while minimizing any negative impact on glaucomatous visual field impairment. However, a technique for this purpose has not yet been validated. OBSERVATIONS: A woman in her 60s presented with visual impairment (20/50), metamorphopsia, and central scotoma of unknown onset in the right eye. A full-thickness MH accompanied by epiretinal proliferation (EP) was identified, with a minimum diameter of 506 μm. Although a retinal nerve fiber layer defect was not evident on ophthalmoscopy, thinning of the ganglion cell complex (GCC), extending from the superotemporal aspect of the optic disc, was observed on optical coherence tomography. Both microperimetry and static visual field testing revealed reduced retinal sensitivity in the thinned GCC areas. A pars plana vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery was performed to address her condition. The EP was embedded into the foveal cavity. On the basis of the microperimetry results, the ILM within the absolute scotoma region was peeled on the superotemporal side of the fovea to create a flap, which was then placed over the MH. A gas tamponade was applied, and the patient was maintained in a prone position postoperatively. The MH was successfully closed after the surgery, resulting in visual improvement (20/25). No decline in retinal sensitivity after the surgery was observed. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Determining the location and area of the inverted ILM flap on the basis of microperimetry results is a promising patient-tailored strategy for treating MH concomitant with glaucoma while preventing further ILM peeling-associated reduction in the retinal sensitivity.

PURPOSE: To assess epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation, severity, and the associated risk factors after scleral buckling using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. METHODS: Medical records of 61 consecutive patients (66 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent scleral buckling were retrospectively reviewed. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was determined based on B-scan OCT images. En face OCT images were used to visualize the ERM and retinal folds. ERM formation was identified by comparing en face images pre- and post-surgery. The maximum depth of the retinal folds (MDRF) was measured using en face imaging to objectively assess traction strength. RESULTS: ERM formation occurred in 15 (22.7%) eyes at the final visit; the foveal pit was preserved in all cases. Parafoveal retinal folds were present in 5 (7.6%) eyes, with a mean MDRF of 21.8 ± 12.6 µm. No significant difference was observed in best-corrected visual acuity (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution) between the ERM formation (-0.019 ± 0.128) and non-ERM formation (-0.001 ± 0.213) groups at the final visit (P = 0.593; Mann-Whitney U test). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that older age and the presence of PVD were significant risk factors for ERM formation (odds ratio 1.07, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.14, P = 0.032; odds ratio 5.26, 95% confidence interval 1.06-26.10, P = 0.042; respectively). CONCLUSION: ERM occurred in 22.7% of cases but was mild and did not affect visual acuity. Older age and the presence of PVD are risk factors for ERM formation.

PURPOSE: To identify a method for accurately measuring preoperative axial length (AL) in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: This retrospective study included 83 eyes of 83 patients who underwent vitrectomy for RRD and had both preoperative and postoperative data for AL. Preoperative AL measurements for the affected eye were obtained using ultrasound (aUS-AL) and compared with those for affected and fellow eyes measured using optical biometry (aOB-AL and fOB-AL, respectively). Absolute differences between preoperative aUS-AL, aOB-AL, or fOB-AL measurements and postoperative AL (aPost-AL) were examined. RESULTS: In the 41 eyes without macular detachment, the absolute difference between aOB-AL and aPost-AL (0.06±0.07 mm) was significantly smaller than between aUS-AL and aPost-AL (0.21±0.18 mm) and that between fOB-AL and aPost-AL (0.29±0.35 mm) (P = 0.017 and P < 0.001, respectively). In the 42 eyes with macular detachment, the absolute difference between aOB-AL and aPost-AL (1.22±2.40 mm) was significantly larger than between aUS-AL and aPost-AL (0.24±0.24 mm) and between fOB-AL and aPost-AL (0.35±0.49 mm) (P = 0.006, P = 0.016, respectively). CONCLUSION: The current findings suggest that aOB-AL is more accurate than aUS-AL or fOB-AL in cases of RRD without macular detachment, while aUS-AL or fOB-AL is more accurate than aOB-AL in cases with macular detachment.

A 23-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of visual abnormalities in her right eye. A visual field test revealed temporal abnormalities in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography revealed an indistinct ellipsoid zone (EZ) on the B-scan image and hyporeflective areas in the EZ layer on the en face image in the right eye. We diagnosed the patient with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. Visual field tests and B-scan images improved to almost normal at 6 months, but hyporeflective areas remained on the en face images. Thus, en face images may be more sensitive at detecting abnormalities in the outer retina than other modalities.

PURPOSE: To investigate preoperative factors associated with simultaneous internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal. STUDY DESIGN: Observational cross-sectional study. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 60 eyes with idiopathic ERM that underwent vitrectomy. The gap between the ERM and ILM was visualized using en face optical coherence tomography. The depth and width of the ERM-ILM gap at the initiation site of ERM removal were measured, and the relationship between preoperative factors including these parameters and simultaneous ILM peeling during ERM removal was investigated. RESULTS: The ILM was simultaneously peeled during ERM removal in 30 eyes, but not in the other 30 eyes. Age was significantly higher (P = 0.017) and the width of the ERM-ILM gap was significantly smaller (P < 0.001) in the simultaneous ILM peeling (+) group than in the simultaneous ILM peeling (-) group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed the width of the ERM-ILM gap as a significant negative predictor for simultaneous ILM peeling (odds ratio, 0.992; 95% confidence interval, 0.986-0.997; P = 0.003). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the width of the ERM-ILM gap revealed that the optimal cutoff for predicting simultaneous ILM peeling was 187.1 µm. CONCLUSION: The small width of the ERM-ILM gap at the initiation site of ERM removal was significantly associated with simultaneous ILM peeling, indicating that the adhesion strength between the ERM and ILM at the initial ERM grasping site determines whether simultaneous ILM peeling will occur during ERM removal.

PURPOSE: To compare the effects of macular intraretinal hemorrhage (IRH) and macular hole (MH) on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after displacement of submacular hemorrhage (SMH) due to retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) rupture. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study included 48 eyes with SMH due to RAM rupture. Cases underwent vitrectomy to displace SMH and were followed up for 6 months. We classified cases according to the presence of IRH and MH and compared the postoperative BCVA among the groups. RESULTS: We classified the eyes into IRH(+)MH(+) group (10 eyes), IRH(+)MH(-) group (23 eyes), and IRH(-)MH(-) group (15 eyes). The postoperative BCVA was significantly worse in the IRH(+)MH(+) and IRH(+)MH(-) groups than in the IRH(-)MH(-) group (0.91 ± 0.41 in logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution units, Snellen equivalent 20/163, 0.87 ± 0.45, 20/148, and 0.18 ± 0.21, 20/30, respectively; P < 0.001). The postoperative central retinal thickness was significantly lower in the IRH(+) group (IRH(+)MH(+) and IRH(+)MH(-) groups combined) than in the IRH(-) group (IRH(-)MH(-) group) (121.4 ± 70.1 µ m and 174.3 ± 32.9 µ m, respectively, P = 0.008). The postoperative external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone continuities were significantly discontinuous in the IRH(+) group ( P < 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that both IRH(+)MH(+) and IRH(+)MH(-) were associated with the postoperative BCVA (regression coefficient, 0.799 and 0.711, respectively; P < 0.001 for both). CONCLUSION: Both IRH and MH were poor prognostic indicators in cases with SMH due to RAM rupture.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to elucidate the mechanisms of morphological abnormalities in a Leber congenital amaurosis 16 (LCA16) cell model using KCNJ13 knockout (KO) retinal pigment epithelial cells derived from human iPS cells (hiPSC-RPE). METHODS: In KCNJ13 KO and wild-type hiPSC-RPE cells, ZO-1 immunofluorescence was performed, and confocal images were captured. The area and perimeter of each cell were measured. To detect cell death, ethidium homodimer III (EthD-III) staining and LDH assay were used. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the cell surface. The expression levels of oxidative stress-related genes were examined by quantitative PCR. To explore the effects of oxidative stress, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) was administered to the hiPSC-RPE cells. Cell viability was tested by MTS assay, whereas oxidative damage was monitored by oxidized (GSSG) and reduced glutathione levels. RESULTS: The area and perimeter of KCNJ13-KO hiPSC-RPE cells were enlarged. EthD-III-positive cells were increased with more dead cells in the protruded region. The KO RPE had significantly higher LDH levels in the medium. SEM observations revealed aggregated cells having broken cell surfaces on the KO RPE sheet. The KCNJ13-deficient RPE showed increased expression levels of oxidative stress-related genes and total glutathione levels. Furthermore, t-BHP induced a significant increase in cell death and GSSG levels in the KO RPE. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that in the absence of the Kir.7.1 potassium channel, human RPE cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress and ultimately die. The dying/dead cells form aggregates and protrude from the surviving KCNJ13-deficient RPE sheet.

An 18-year-old male high school student presented to our clinic with bilateral blunt ocular trauma caused by an exercise resistance band (ERB) during a muscle-building exercise. Best-corrected decimal visual acuities (BCVAs) for right and left eyes were light perception and 0.15, respectively. The right eye was operated 10 days after injury for persistent vitreous hemorrhage, and the left eye 5 months later because of macular hole onset. After 36 months, the right eye showed extensive retinal degeneration (BCVA 0.04), and the left eye macular hole closure (BCVA 1.2). ERBs should be used cautiously as they can cause serious ocular trauma.

PURPOSE: To establish an objective and quantitative biomarker of metamorphopsia in epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and determine the optimal timing for ERM surgery. METHODS: Retrospectively, 172 eyes with ERM were reviewed. Retinal folds due to tangential traction by ERM were visualized by en face optical coherence tomography (OCT). The maximum depth of retinal folds (MDRF) within the parafovea was quantified. Metamorphopsia was quantified by M-CHARTS. The change in the distance between the retinal vessels after ERM surgery and the preoperative total depth of retinal folds between the vessels were quantified using en face OCT and OCT angiography. RESULTS: Significant correlations were observed between preoperative MDRF and M-CHARTS scores before and at 6 months after surgery (r=0.617 and 0.460, respectively; P<0.001) and change in the distance between the retinal vessels after ERM surgery and preoperative total depth of retinal folds between the vessels (r=0.471, P=0.013). The preoperative MDRF values at which M-CHARTS scores were 0.5 before and 6 months after surgery were 69 μm and 118 μm, respectively. CONCLUSION: MDRF is an objective and quantitative biomarker of metamorphopsia in ERM. To maintain patients' quality of vision, ERM surgery may be performed when the preoperative MDRF ranges between 69 and 118 μm.

A 65-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of left eye distortion. An elevated choroidal lesion covering 6 disc diameters was found in the posterior retina of the left eye. Systemic examination revealed sublingual gland carcinoma and multiple lung metastases, and the diagnosis was choroidal metastasis from sublingual gland carcinoma. Following chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the choroidal lesion shrunk and the patient's visual acuity improved. The patient died 23 months after his first visit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of choroidal metastasis from sublingual gland carcinoma.

PURPOSE: To investigate epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 64 consecutive eyes (64 patients) with RRD treated by vitrectomy without ERM and internal limiting membrane peeling. ERMs and retinal folds were detected by B-scan and en face imaging. The maximum depth of retinal folds (MDRF) was quantified using en face imaging. ERM severity was staged using B-scan imaging. Main outcome measures were ERM detection rate with B-scan and en face imaging, MDRF, ERM staging, postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution), and risk factors for ERM formation. RESULTS: The detection rate for ERM formation was significantly higher with en face imaging (70.3%) than with B-scan imaging (46.9%; P = 0.007). There was no significant difference in postoperative BCVA between eyes with ERM formation (0.06 ± 0.26) and those without ERM formation (0.01 ± 0.14; P = 0.298). Forty of 45 (88.9%) eyes with ERM formation were classified as stage 1. Twenty-seven of 45 (60.0%) eyes with ERM formation developed parafoveal retinal folds. The mean MDRF was 27.4 ± 32.2 μm. Multiple retinal breaks and a maximum retinal break size of ≥ 2 disc diameters were significantly associated with ERM formation (P = 0.033 and P = 0.031, respectively). CONCLUSION: Although ERM formation was observed in 70.3% patients after RRD repair, the formed ERM was not severe and had minimal impact on the postoperative visual acuity.

PURPOSE: To analyze en face epiretinal membrane (ERM) images constructed using swept-source (SS) OCT and to determine the incidence of ERM formation after ERM surgery and its effects on visual function. DESIGN: Retrospective, consecutive observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive series of 73 eyes (71 patients) with idiopathic ERM that underwent vitrectomy with both ERM and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of the 73 eyes included in the study. During surgery, the ERM was removed as extensively as possible, and the ILM was removed such that the area of ILM peeling was at least larger than the parafoveal area. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations, including assessments of best-corrected visual acuity and metamorphopsia, before and at 2 weeks and 6 months after the surgery. En face images constructed using SS OCT were used to investigate ERM formation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The incidence of ERM formation at 6 months after the surgery, effects of ERM formation on visual function, and the relationship between ERM formation and the extent of ERM and ILM peeling. RESULTS: At 6 months after ERM and ILM peeling, 8 eyes (11.0%) showed ERM formation (formation group). Twenty eyes (27.4%) exhibited remnant ERM without ERM formation (remnant group), whereas 45 eyes (61.6%) showed no ERM (no ERM group). In both the remnant and no ERM groups, best-corrected visual acuity and metamorphopsia showed significant improvements after ERM surgery (both P < 0.01); these improvements were not seen in the formation group (P = 0.067 and P = 0.053, respectively). However, no significant differences were found in preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities and metamorphopsia among the 3 groups. In the formation group, ERM formation occurred only in the area with residual ILM. Most patients who underwent ILM peeling in which the area of the peeling covered the ERM belonged to the no ERM group (97.7%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Epiretinal membrane formation does not affect visual function significantly when the area of ILM peeling is larger than the parafoveal area. When the ILM peeling area covers the ERM area, postoperative ERM formation can be prevented.

A 58-year-old Japanese man underwent vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in 2002. Twelve years later, optical coherence tomography revealed the development of a lamellar macular hole; the visual acuity was 20/200. Two years later, because metamorphopsia and the foveal retina thinning were aggravated, epiretinal proliferation embedding was performed to restore the foveal structure by transplanting glial cells to the foveal cavity. The patient was followed-up for 4 years, and his macular morphology and visual acuity (20/66) improved. No complications occurred. This appears to be the first report of epiretinal proliferation embedding for a lamellar macular hole post-RRD repair.

This retrospective study was performed to classify diabetic macular edema (DME) based on the localization and area of the fluid and to investigate the relationship of the classification with visual acuity (VA). The fluid was visualized using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images constructed using swept-source OCT. A total of 128 eyes with DME were included. The retina was segmented into: Segment 1, mainly comprising the inner nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer, including Henle's fiber layer; and Segment 2, mainly comprising the outer nuclear layer. DME was classified as: foveal cystoid space at Segment 1 and no fluid at Segment 2 (n = 24), parafoveal cystoid space at Segment 1 and no fluid at Segment 2 (n = 25), parafoveal cystoid space at Segment 1 and diffuse fluid at Segment 2 (n = 16), diffuse fluid at both segments (n = 37), and diffuse fluid at both segments with subretinal fluid (n = 26). Eyes with diffuse fluid at Segment 2 showed significantly poorer VA, higher ellipsoid zone disruption rates, and greater central subfield thickness than did those without fluid at Segment 2 (P < 0.001 for all). These results indicate the importance of the localization and area of the fluid for VA in DME.

A 79-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a 10-day history of gradually worsening binocular vision and severe backache. Further investigations revealed poor bilateral best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA), bilateral vitreous opacities, gray-white lesions scattered throughout the retina, and a left iliopsoas abscess on CT that later grew out methicillin-sensitive S. aureus. The abscess was drained and intravenous antibiotics were initiated, but the left eye additionally required intravitreal vancomycin. BCVA for both eyes normalized within 1 year. Intramuscular abscess should be considered as a possible primary lesion in cases of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis.

This retrospective study investigated foveal and perifoveal retinal sensitivities using microperimetry before and after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Consecutive patients with RRD who underwent vitrectomy or scleral buckling were included. Comprehensive ophthalmological examinations, including microperimetry and swept-source optical coherence tomography, were performed before and 6 months after surgery. Pre- and postoperative retinal sensitivities at the fovea and 4 perifoveal measurement points farthest from the fixation point, both vertically and horizontally (superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal) were examined. A total of 34 foveal and 136 perifoveal measurement points in 34 eyes of 34 patients were evaluated. The postoperative retinal sensitivity was significantly higher than the preoperative value at foveal and perifoveal points with (P < 0.001 for both) and without (fovea: P = 0.005, perifovea: P < 0.001) RRD. The postoperative retinal sensitivity was significantly lower at foveal (P < 0.01) and perifoveal (P < 0.001) points with preoperative RRD than at points without preoperative RRD; furthermore, it was significantly better at points with ellipsoid zone (Ez) continuity than at points with Ez discontinuity (fovea: P < 0.01, perifovea: P < 0.001). RRD deteriorates retinal sensitivity, regardless of its presence or absence at the measurement point before surgery. Postoperative Ez continuity is important for good postoperative retinal sensitivity.

BACKGROUND: Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) is an effective surgical adjuvant in performing vitrectomy for severe vitreoretinal pathologies such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy and giant retinal tears. However, subretinal retention of PFCL can occur postoperatively and retained PFCL causes severe visual disorders, particularly when PFCL was retained under the fovea. Although several procedures have been proposed for subfoveal PFCL removal, such as direct aspiration or submacular injection of balanced salt solution (BSS) to dislodge the subfoveal PFCL, the retinal damage associated with these procedures has been a major problem. Here, we report a case of subfoveal retention of PFCL for which we performed a novel surgical technique that attempts to minimize retinal damage. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old man presented with subfoveal retained PFCL after surgery for retinal detachment. To remove the retained PFCL, the internal limiting membrane overlying the subretinal injection site is first peeled to allow low-pressure (8 psi) transretinal BSS infusion, using a 41-gauge cannula, to slowly detach the macula. A small drainage retinotomy is created with the diathermy tip at the inferior position of the macular bleb, sized to be slightly wider than that of the PFCL droplet. The head of the bed is then raised, and the surgeon gently vibrates the patient's head to release the PFCL droplet to allow it to migrate inferiorly towards the drainage retinotomy. The bed is returned to the horizontal position, and the PFCL, now on the retinal surface, can be aspirated. The subfoveal PFCL is removed while minimizing iatrogenic foveal and macular damage. One month after PFCL removal, the foveal structure showed partial recovery on optical coherence tomography, and BCVA improved to 20/40. CONCLUSION: Creating a macular bleb with low infusion pressure and using vibrational forces and gravity to migrate the PFCL towards a retinotomy can be considered as a relatively atraumatic technique to remove subfoveal retained PFCL.

PURPOSE: To visualize foveal microstructures in macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using swept source optical coherence tomography preoperatively and postoperatively and to investigate the relationship between foveal microstructures and postoperative visual acuity. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 42 eyes of 42 consecutive patients diagnosed with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent anatomically successful repair surgery and were followed up for 6 months. We used swept source optical coherence tomography to investigate the relationship between preoperative and postoperative continuity of both the external limiting membrane (ELM) and ellipsoid zone (Ez) and preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity. RESULTS: Both preoperative ELM and Ez were continuous in 9 eyes (21%; ELM+/Ez+ eyes), only the ELM was continuous in 25 eyes (60%; ELM+/Ez- eyes), and neither was continuous in 8 eyes (19%; ELM-/Ez- eyes). Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity in ELM+/Ez+ eyes (-0.05 ± 0.04 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution units, Snellen equivalent 20/18) was significantly better than that in both ELM+/Ez- (0.16 ± 0.16, 20/29; P = 0.03) and ELM-/Ez- (0.86 ± 0.37, 20/145; P < 0.001) eyes. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was significantly better in ELM+/Ez- than in ELM-/Ez- eyes (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, preoperative continuity of the ELM and Ez may be a predictor of postoperative best-corrected visual acuity.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between retinal traction caused by epiretinal membrane and visual functions. METHODS: In this institutional study, en face swept-source optical coherence tomography images of 141 eyes of 130 patients with epiretinal membrane were analyzed to investigate maximum depth of retinal folds, which represents retinal traction strength and the distribution pattern of retinal folds. We investigated the relationships between the maximum depth and distribution pattern of retinal folds and visual functions as well as the effects of membrane peeling. RESULTS: Maximum retinal fold depth was significantly correlated with the metamorphopsia score (P < 0.001). Fifteen eyes showed retinal folds radially extending from the macular epiretinal membrane (radiating folds group), whereas 126 eyes showed a multidirectional pattern of retinal folds (multidirectional folds group). The radiating folds group showed a significantly lower metamorphopsia score (P = 0.014). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the metamorphopsia score was significantly related to maximum retinal fold depth (P = 0.003), distribution pattern (P = 0.015), and central retinal thickness (P < 0.001). One month after membrane peeling, parafoveal retinal folds resolved completely in all cases, and both visual acuity (P < 0.001) and average metamorphopsia score (P = 0.036) were significantly improved. CONCLUSION: Both the strength and the distribution pattern of retinal traction are significantly related to metamorphopsia in epiretinal membrane patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish and analyze a cell model of Leber congenital amaurosis type 16 (LCA16), which is caused by mutations in the KCNJ13 gene encoding Kir7.1, an inward-rectifying potassium ion channel. Methods: The two guide RNAs specific to the target sites in the KCNJ13 gene were designed and KCNJ13 knock-out (KO) human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The KCNJ13-KO hiPSCs were differentiated into retinal pigment epithelial cells (hiPSC-RPEs). The KCNJ13-KO in hiPSC-RPEs was confirmed by immunostaining. Phagocytic activity of hiPSC-RPEs was assessed using the uptake of fluorescently labeled porcine photoreceptor outer segments (POSs). Phagocytosis-related genes in RPE cells were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: Most of the translated region of the KCNJ13 gene was deleted in the KCNJ13-KO hiPSCs by the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and this confirmed that the Kir7.1 protein was not present in RPE cells induced from the hiPSCs. Expression of RPE marker genes such as BEST1 and CRALBP was retained in the wild-type (WT) and in the KCNJ13-KO hiPSC-RPE cells. However, phagocytic activity and expression of phagocytosis-related genes in the KCNJ13-null hiPSC-RPE cells were significantly reduced compared to those of WT. Conclusions: We succeeded in generating an RPE model of LCA16 using hiPSCs. We suggest that Kir7.1 is required for phagocytosis of POSs by RPE cells and that impaired phagocytosis in the absence of Kir7.1 would be involved in the retinal degeneration found in LCA16.

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical course of submacular hemorrhage associated with ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm using swept-source optical coherence tomography. METHODS: This study included 23 eyes of 23 consecutive patients diagnosed with submacular hemorrhage associated with ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm. Cases underwent displacement of submacular hemorrhage (vitrectomy + subretinal injection of tissue plasminogen activator + air tamponade) and were followed up for 6 months after surgery. Localization of the preoperative hemorrhage and its effect on preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity, central retinal thickness, and continuity of the ellipsoid zone were measured. RESULTS: Macular intraretinal hemorrhage (IRH) was observed in 17 eyes (73.9%, IRH [+] group) and was not observed in 6 eyes (26.1%, IRH [-] group). The IRH (+) group showed worse postoperative best-corrected visual acuity values compared with the IRH (-) group (0.89 ± 0.47 in logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution units, Snellen equivalent 20/155 and 0.16 ± 0.23, 20/29, respectively; P < 0.01), smaller central retinal thickness values (97.7 ± 53.5 μm, 173.0 ± 32.3 μm, respectively; P < 0.01), and a higher rate of ellipsoid zone disruption (100%, 33.3%, respectively; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Patients with preoperative macular IRH showed lower postoperative visual acuity and worse macular contour after submacular hemorrhage displacement compared with patients without macular IRH.

PURPOSE: To determine the presence or absence of interocular differences in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in healthy eyes. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: We examined 236 healthy eyes of 118 consecutive subjects (mean age, 39.1 ± 18.9 years). We used swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images of the FAZ to measure its area from both the superficial capillary plexus (SCP-FAZ) and the whole retinal capillary plexus (WCP-FAZ). We also investigated the relationship between interocular differences in SCP-FAZ and other factors such as: axial length, spherical equivalent, central retinal thickness, and retinal vascular density. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the FAZ area between the right and left eyes in either the SCP-FAZ (P = 0.61) or WCP-FAZ (P = 0.80), and the FAZ areas of both eyes showed significant positive correlations (SCP-FAZ; P < 0.001, R2 = 0.884, WCP-FAZ; P < 0.001, R2 = 0.856). Bland-Altman plots showed that the mean interocular difference in SCP-FAZ area was 0.002 ± 0.037 mm2 (95% confidence interval, -0.072-0.075 mm2), and in the WCP-FAZ area, 0.050 ± 0.044 mm2 (95% confidence interval, -0.036-0.137 mm2). Multivariate regression analysis showed that none of the investigated factors were significantly associated with interocular differences in SCP-FAZ (P = 0.61, R2 = 0.138). CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant interocular difference in SCP- and WCP-FAZ areas in healthy eyes. The normal range of values for interocular difference in SCP-FAZ area was 0.002 ± 0.037 mm2 and in the WCP-FAZ area, 0.050 ± 0.044 mm2.

We investigated the effectiveness of a treat-and-extend regimen (TAE) of intravitreal ranibizumab injections for macular edema (ME) due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). We retrospectively examined 2-year results of 32 eyes of 32 patients who underwent TAE to treat ME due to BRVO. The patients whose treatment interval extended to ≥ 12 weeks were switched to a pro re nata regimen (PRN). For the patients whose treatment interval was <12 weeks, TAE was continued. At 2 years, 10 eyes had required no additional injections after the initial treatment period [recurrence(-) group], whereas the other 22 eyes required additional treatment [recurrence(+) group]. Among the recurrence(+) patients, 11 eyes (34.4% of total) were eventually switched from TAE to PRN; the other 11 eyes (34.4%) continued TAE for 2 years. Visual acuity and central retinal thickness were significantly improved in both the recurrence(+) and (-) groups, and there was no significant betweengroup difference in visual acuity at 2 years. Univariate analyses revealed significant differences in visual acuity (p=0.004), age (p=0.014), and vessel occlusion site (p=0.018) between these groups. Our results suggest that TAE may be effective for BRVO patients with lower visual acuity, older age, and occlusion of a major vein.

PURPOSE: To examine the outcomes of vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) injection and postoperative intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection for submacular hemorrhage (SMH) associated with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective, consecutive case series. METHODS: Patients who underwent vitrectomy for SMH associated with PCV and who were followed up for at least 12 months were included. Surgery consisted of vitrectomy with subretinal tPA and air tamponade. Postoperative intravitreal anti-VEGF was administered pro re nata. The following were examined: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at baseline, at 1 month, and at the final visit; the percentage of patients requiring anti-VEGF postoperatively; and the number of injections administered. RESULTS: This study included 23 eyes of 23 patients (21 men, 2 women) with a mean age of 72.5 ± 9.0 years. The mean duration from disease onset to surgery was 9.0 ± 6.6 days. The mean maximum SMH size was 5.8 ± 4.8 disc diameters. The mean follow-up period was 33 ± 14 months. The BCVA was significantly improved when compared with baseline 1 month after surgery and at the final visit. Postoperative anti-VEGF was required for 91% of the eyes. In eyes that underwent anti-VEGF therapy until the final visit, the mean injection number was 4.1/year. CONCLUSIONS: Vitrectomy with subretinal tPA and air tamponade improved visual acuity in patients with SMH associated with PCV. Postoperative intravitreal anti-VEGF injection maintained the improved BCVA throughout a mean period of 33 months.

PURPOSE: To compare the rates of infectious endophthalmitis following intravitreal injection of ranibizumab using prefilled syringes vs conventional preparation. DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective cohort study. METHODS: All eyes receiving intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for retinal vascular diseases at 10 retina practices across the United States (2016 to 2017) and Japan (2009 to 2017) were included. The total numbers of eyes and injections were determined from billing codes. Endophthalmitis cases were determined from billing records and evaluated with chart review. Primary outcome was the rate of postinjection acute endophthalmitis. Secondary outcomes were visual acuity and microbial spectrum. RESULTS: A total of 243 754 intravitreal 0.5 mg ranibizumab injections (165 347 conventional and 78 407 prefilled) were administered to 43 132 unique patients during the study period. In the conventional ranibizumab group, a total of 43 cases of suspected endophthalmitis occurred (0.026%; 1 in 3845 injections) and 22 cases of culture-positive endophthalmitis occurred (0.013%; 1 in 7516 injections). In the prefilled ranibizumab group, 12 cases of suspected endophthalmitis occurred (0.015%; 1 in 6534 injections) and 2 cases of culture-positive endophthalmitis occurred (0.0026%; 1 in 39 204 injections). Prefilled syringes were associated with a trend toward decreased risk of suspected endophthalmitis (odds ratio 0.59; 95% confidence interval 0.31-1.12; P = .10) and a statistically significant decreased risk of culture-positive endophthalmitis (odds ratio 0.19; 95% confidence interval 0.045-0.82; P = .025). Average logMAR vision loss at final follow-up was significantly worse for eyes that developed endophthalmitis from the conventional ranibizumab preparation compared to the prefilled syringe group (4.45 lines lost from baseline acuity vs 0.38 lines lost; P = .0062). Oral-associated flora was found in 27.3% (6/22) of conventional ranibizumab culture-positive endophthalmitis cases (3 cases of Streptococcus viridans, 3 cases of Enterococcus faecalis) compared to 0 cases in the prefilled ranibizumab group. CONCLUSION: In a large, multicenter, retrospective study the use of prefilled syringes during intravitreal injection of ranibizumab was associated with a reduced rate of culture-positive endophthalmitis, including from oral flora, as well as with improved visual acuity outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Coats disease is a retinal disease characterized by exudative retinal detachment due to abnormal retinal blood vessels. Coats disease is generally treated using laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy to ablate the abnormal retinal blood vessels. However, if abnormal blood vessels are present near the posterior pole of the eye and there is a severe exudative change there, it is difficult to perform these standard treatments. We describe a case of Coats disease with severe exudative retinal change and retinal vascular abnormality near the posterior pole for which we performed photodynamic therapy and successfully suppressed the disease and improved vision. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old Japanese boy presented to hospital with a chief complaint of decreased vision in his right eye. At the initial examination, corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 20/100. On the right fundus, exudative retinal detachment with subretinal haemorrhage was observed from the upper intermediate periphery to the posterior pole. Abnormal telangiectatic vessels and microaneurysms were found at the nasal peripheral retina. From these findings, we diagnosed the case as Coats disease. We conducted photodynamic therapy for the right eye. At 10 months after treatment, both the subretinal haemorrhage and the exudative retinal detachment had disappeared completely. Further, the retinal structure of the macula had recovered, and right vision had improved to 20/20. CONCLUSION: Photodynamic therapy may be an effective and safe treatment for Coats disease in cases that present with abnormal retinal vessels close to the posterior pole of the eye.

BACKGROUND: We recently reported that lamellar macular hole (LMH) with lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) can be effectively treated by embedding the LHEP into the retinal cleavage to improve foveal contour and visual acuity. Here, we report a case of LMH with LHEP for which we performed embedding of the LHEP combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) inversion. We then evaluated the effects of this surgery on macular morphology and visual functions. CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old man presented with visual disturbance (20/29) and metamorphopsia in his right eye. B-scan optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging revealed the presence of both partial-thickness defect of the macula with degenerative retinal cleavage and LHEP at the surface of the retina. En face OCT imaging showed the absence of retinal fold. We performed phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation, vitrectomy, embedding of LHEP into the retinal cleavage, and ILM inversion. Three months after the surgery, both foveal contour and visual acuity (20/20) were improved and metamorphopsia was reduced. CONCLUSION: Embedding of the LHEP combined with ILM inversion may be an effective treatment for LMH with LHEP.

We conducted intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVAs) for 37 Japanese patients (28 males, 9 females, mean age 73.4 years) with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), with a treat-and-extend regimen (TER). We evaluated the impact of polyp regression after a loading dose (2-mg IVA 1×/month for 3 months) on the patients' 2-year treatment outcomes. Thirty-seven eyes were treated with IVA by a TER for 2 years. We divided the patients into 2 groups based on their polyp status after the loading dose: polyp regression (PR+) (n=19) and no polyp regression (PR-) (n=18). We compared the groups' best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), recurrence rate, total number of injections, and final treatment interval. Both the BCVA and CRT were significantly improved by the treatment in both groups, with no between-group difference in the amount of change (p=0.769). In the polyp regression (+) group, recurrence was significantly less common (p=0.03), the mean total number of injections was significantly lower (p=0.013), and the mean treatment interval was significantly longer (0.042). Regarding the 2-year outcomes for PCV, the eyes with post-loading-dose polyp regression demonstrated less frequent recurrence and required fewer numbers of injections compared to the eyes without polyp regression.

PURPOSE: To investigate lamellar macular hole (LMH) and macular pseudohole (MPH) using a combination of en face and radial B-scan OCT. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case series. METHODS: Setting: Institutional study. PATIENT POPULATION: En face and radial B-scan OCT images of 63 eyes of 60 patients diagnosed with LMH or MPH based on an international classification were reviewed. OBSERVATION PROCEDURES: Cases were classified using en face images based on the presence/absence of epiretinal membrane (ERM), retinal folds, parafoveal epicenter of contractile ERM (PEC-ERM), and retinal cleavage. We compared the en face imaging-based classification system with the international classification system using radial B-scan images. We quantitatively evaluated visual function and macular morphology. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Characterization of multimodal OCT-based subtypes of LMH and MPH. RESULTS: All cases showed ERM and were classified into 4 groups. In the first group, which lacked retinal folds and showed significantly lower visual acuity than the other groups, 81% of eyes had degenerative LMH. In the second group, which lacked PEC-ERM and retinal cleavage and showed significantly lower retinal fold depth, all eyes had MPH. The third group, in which 95% of eyes had symmetric tractional LMH, included eyes with retinal cleavage but without PEC-ERM, and this group showed higher circularity of the foveal aperture and cleavage area than the group with both these features, in which all eyes had asymmetric tractional LMH. CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal OCT enables classification of LMH and MPH based on pathologic conditions. Retinal traction in particular may be useful for determining treatment methods.

To investigate the effectiveness of a treat-and-extend regimen (TAE) of intravitreal ranibizumab injections (IVR) for macular edema (ME) due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). We retrospectively examined 35 eyes of 35 patients with ME due to BRVO who underwent TAE for 1 year. Patients whose treatment interval extended to 12 weeks were switched to a pro re nata regimen (PRN; TAE to PRN group), while TAE was continued for patients whose treatment interval was less than 12 weeks (continued TAE group). Changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), and predictive factors for inclusion in the TAE to PRN group were analyzed. BCVA and CRT both improved significantly at 1 year compared with baseline (p<0.001). Sixteen eyes (45.7%) were included in the TAE to PRN group, while 19 eyes (54.3%) were included in the continued TAE group. BCVA in the TAE to PRN group was significantly better than that in the continued TAE group at 1 year (p=0.047). BCVA at baseline and macular BRVO were significant predictive factors for inclusion in the TAE to PRN group. TAE was effective for improving BCVA and CRT. The TAE to PRN group showed significantly better prognosis.

PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of subretinal injection pressure on the microstructure of the retina in a monkey model. METHODS: After vitrectomy, balanced salt solution was injected subretinally into one eye each of four cynomolgus monkeys while controlling the injection pressure. Initially, a pressure of 2 psi was used, and this was gradually increased to determine the minimum required pressure. Subsequent injections were performed at two pressures: minimum (n = 13) and high (n = 6). To compare the influence of these injection pressures on retinal structure, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed before surgery and every week afterwards. The monkeys were euthanized and their eyes were enucleated at 1 or 6 weeks after the injections. The eyes were processed for light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as for TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling. RESULTS: The minimum pressure required to perform subretinal injection was 6 psi. After injection at this pressure, both OCT and microscopy showed that the retinal structure was well-preserved throughout the experimental period at all injection sites. Conversely, after injection at high pressure (20 psi) OCT images at all injection sites showed disruption of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) after 1 week. Microscopy indicated damage to the photoreceptor outer segment (OS) and stratification of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). After 6 weeks, OCT demonstrated that the EZ had become continuous and TEM confirmed that the OS and RPE had recovered. Photoreceptor apoptosis was absent after subretinal injection at both pressures. CONCLUSIONS: The retinal damage caused by subretinal injection increases depending on pressure, indicating that clinicians should perform subretinal injection at pressures as low as possible to ensure safety.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of displacement of submacular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) by assessing retinal sensitivity using microperimetry. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 11 consecutive PCV patients with SMH. All patients underwent vitrectomy, subretinal injection of tissue plasminogen activator, and fluid-air exchange, followed by antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy using a pro re nata regimen. The retinal sensitivity was measured by use of microperimetry before and after surgery. RESULTS: The mean (SD) age of the patients was 74.1 ± 9.4 years. The mean SMH diameter was 6.8 ± 5.2 disc diameters. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mean retinal sensitivity, and mean number of measure points with a sensitivity ≥10 dB before the surgery were 0.94 ± 0.49, 4.2 ± 4.5 dB, and 15.6 ± 15.1 points, respectively. These had significantly improved 6 months after surgery (0.39 ± 0.37, 15.6 ± 7.3 dB, and 50.9 ± 22.2 points, respectively; P < 0.05 for all outcome measures). The mean number of measure points with an absolute scotoma before surgery had decreased significantly 6 months after surgery (from 40.5 ± 15.0 to 9.4 ± 16.0 points; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Displacement of SMH effectively improves retinal sensitivity as well as BCVA.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the 1-year treatment outcomes of intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVA) using a treat-and-extend regimen for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). METHODS: Thirty-seven eyes with treatment-naive PCV treated with IVA using a treat-and-extend regimen for 1 year were reviewed retrospectively. The main outcome measures were changes in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT), and the treatment interval at 1 year. The predictive factors for patients who could not continue to extend the treatment interval because of poor response to IVA or recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA improved from 0.37 at baseline to 0.21 at 1 year (P < 0.001). The mean CRT decreased from 342.3 μm at baseline to 196.6 μm at 1 year (P < 0.001). The mean treatment interval was 9.7 weeks at 1 year (4 weeks in 11 eyes [29.7%], 6 weeks in 1 eye [2.7%], 8 weeks in 2 eyes [5.4%], 10 weeks in 1 eye [2.7%], and 12 weeks in 22 eyes [59.5%]). A larger number of polypoidal lesions at baseline was predictive for patients who could not continue to extend the treatment interval. CONCLUSIONS: IVA using a treat-and-extend regimen is effective for improving BCVA and CRT in eyes with PCV.

OBJECTIVE: To examine factors affecting foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in healthy eyes using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: This prospective, cross-sectional study included 144 eyes of 144 individuals (77 women, 67 men) with a best corrected visual acuity of at least 20/20 and no history of ocular disorders. The area of the superficial FAZ was assessed using OCTA. Age, gender, central retinal thickness (CRT), retinal vascular density, refractive error, and axial length were examined to determine associations with FAZ area. RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects was 42.1 ± 20.2 years (range: 10-79 years). The mean FAZ area was 0.32 ± 0.11 mm2, while the mean retinal vascular density was 35.53 ± 0.92%. Multivariate regression analysis was performed using FAZ area as the dependent variable and age, gender, CRT, retinal vascular density, refractive error, and axial length as independent variables. The results of this analysis demonstrate that CRT and retinal vascular density were significantly associated with FAZ area in our sample (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.425). Age, gender, refractive error, and axial length were not significantly correlated with FAZ area, while CRT and retinal vascular density were negatively correlated with FAZ area (CRT: P < 0.001, R2 = 0.356; retinal vascular density: P < 0.001, R2 = 0.189). CONCLUSIONS: OCTA results suggest that CRT and retinal vascular density negatively affect FAZ area in healthy eyes.

PURPOSE: To quantify the vascular density of the choroid of normal eyes and to identify the influencing factors using en face images obtained with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS OCT). DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-three eyes of 163 healthy volunteers (83 female; mean age 42.2 ± 22.6 years) with a corrected visual acuity of ≥1.0 were investigated. En face SS OCT images of the choroid were used for quantitative assessment of the vascular density in the large choroid vessel layer. Relationships between vascular density of the choroid and age, sex, refractive error (RE), axial length (AL), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) were also investigated. RESULTS: There was a significant negative relationship between vascular density of the choroid and subject age (P < .001). Analysis according to age showed a significant correlation in the group aged >30 years (P < .001), but not in the group aged ≤30 years (P = .225). SCT had a significant positive relationship with vascular density of the choroid (P < .001). However, a significant correlation was not observed between sex, RE, or AL and vascular density of the choroid (P = .981, P = .292, and P = .216, respectively). Multivariable regression analysis with vascular density of the choroid as the dependent variable and age, sex, RE, AL, and SCT as independent variables showed that age and SCT are important determinants of vascular density of the choroid (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Age and SCT affect vascular density of the choroid.

PURPOSE: We assessed the efficacy of vitrectomy and inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, followed by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, anti-VEGF-resistant age-related macular degeneration (AMD) due to vitreomacular traction (VMT) or epiretinal membrane (ERM). METHODS: We identified six patients with anti-VEGF-resistant AMD due to VMT or ERM amongst a total of 588 patients with AMD (821 eyes) referred to Okayama University Hospital between February 2012 and May 2014. These patients underwent vitrectomy to release the VMT (4 cases) or remove the ERM (2 cases), along with ILM peeling. The regimen used for intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF reagents after surgery was based on the severity of exudative changes in each patient. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) measurements were compared. RESULTS: After vitrectomy and ILM peeling, all six patients responded to anti-VEGF therapy, which was then able to maintain dry retinas. Mean BCVA did not improve significantly (0.49 ± 0.28 before vs. 0.43 ± 0.38 after surgery, P = 0.538). However, mean CR was significantly decreased after surgery, from 423 ± 83.5 μm to 257 ± 75.8 μm (P = 0.0078). CONCLUSIONS: Vitrectomy and ILM peeling followed by anti-VEGF therapy may be a useful therapeutic option for anti-VEGF-resistant AMD with VMT or ERM.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features of idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis not in association with myopia, glaucoma, optic disk pit, or juvenile retinoschisis. METHODS: Retrospective observational case series. Five eyes of five patients with idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis were included. RESULTS: The patients were 2 men and 3 women (average age, 75.2 years; range, 71-78 years). The average spherical equivalent was +2.40 diopters (range, +0.88 to +5.75 diopters), and the average axial length was 22.0 mm (range, 21.1-23.1 mm). All patients had retinoschisis from the macula to the optic disk in the affected eye. No patients had retinoschisis in the fellow eye. The average best-corrected visual acuity was 20/44 (68 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letter score). CONCLUSION: Idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis is not inherited or associated with myopia, vitreomacular traction syndrome, optic pit, or glaucoma but is associated with older age, unilaterality, hyperopia with short axial length, complete posterior vitreous detachment, and weak leakage from the optic disk on fluorescein angiography.

Purpose: To report a case of radiation retinopathy after carbon ion radiotherapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma in the sphenoid sinus. Case: A 26-year-old female was referred to us for impaired visual acuity in the right eye. She had received carbon ion radiotherapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma in the right sphenoid sinus extending to the right cavernous sinus 19 months before. The dosis of radiation totaled 57.6 GyE. Findings: Corrected visual acuity was 0.8 right and 1.2 left. The right fundus showed a few retinal hemorrhages and cotton-wool spots. Fluorescein angiography showed dry leakage from retinal vessels. Retinal nonperfusion was also present, leading the diagnosis of radiation retinopathy. The right eye developed cataract 32 months later followed by cataract surgery. Retinal neovasucularization developed another 10 months later and was treated by photocoagulation. There has been no recurrence of carcinoma in the sphenoid sinus for 97 months with right visual acuity maintained at 1.0. Conclusion: The present case illustrates that radiation retinopathy may develop years after carbon ion radiotherapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma in the sphenoid sinus.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence ratio, localization, and surgical outcomes of intraretinal cystic spaces in idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 432 eyes of 398 consecutive patients with idiopathic ERM who underwent vitrectomy and ERM peeling from January 2012 to September 2015. We selected cases with intraretinal cystic space prior to surgery, detected by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. We then evaluated the effects of ERM peeling on intraretinal cystic spaces, best corrected visual acuity, and central retinal thickness at 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes (5.5%) showed intraretinal cystic spaces before surgery, present in the inner retinal layer (the inner group) in 9 eyes, in the outer retinal layer (the outer group) in 6 eyes, and in both the inner and the outer retinal layers (the combined group) in 9 eyes. Additionally, 30 eyes with ERM but without any presence of intraretinal cystic space were selected randomly and classified as the no cyst group. At 6 months after surgery, the disappearance rate of cystic spaces was significantly greater for the outer group than for the inner group (83.3% and 11.1%, respectively, P = 0.011). The mean best corrected visual acuity improved significantly after surgery in the inner group, the outer group, and the no cyst group (P < 0.05 for all three groups) but did not improve in the combined group (P = 0.58). The mean central retinal thickness decreased significantly after surgery in the inner group, the combined group, and the no cyst group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intraretinal cystic spaces were observed in 5.5% of preoperative idiopathic ERM cases. Following surgery, the cystic spaces in the outer retinal layer disappeared at higher rates than those in the inner retinal layer, suggesting that the pathophysiologies of these cystic spaces are different.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy using reduced irradiation time or reduced verteporfin dose for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS: Between April 2011 and December 2013, 45 eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (43 consecutive patients) were treated with photodynamic therapy, using either half the irradiation time (18 eyes) or half the verteporfin dose (27 eyes). Outcome measures at follow-up, over at least 3 months, were complete resolution of serous retinal detachment, best-corrected visual acuity, and central retinal thickness. RESULTS: After 3 months, serous retinal detachment had completely resolved in 88.8% of eyes in both treatment groups, which were therefore not significantly different. The logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity (Snellen equivalent) improved from 0.245 (20/35) to 0.130 (20/27) (P < 0.05, paired t-test) in the reduced time group and from 0.283 (20/38) to 0.138 (20/27) (P < 0.05) in the reduced verteporfin group. Final best-corrected visual acuities in the 2 groups were not significantly different. Central retinal thicknesses dropped from 337.0 μm to 146.6 μm (P < 0.05) in the reduced time group and from 343.5 μm to 166.9 μm (P < 0.05) in the reduced verteporfin group. No ocular or systemic side effects were observed. CONCLUSION: Reduced irradiation time and reduced verteporfin dose were equally effective and safe in photodynamic therapy for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

BACKGROUND: Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a group of rare autoinflammatory diseases, and of these, chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, and articular/neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (CINCA/NOMID) syndrome has the most severe phenotype. Canakinumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-1β, has been shown to be an effective treatment for resolving systemic inflammation. However, its efficacy for treating ophthalmic symptoms of this disorder remains unclear. FINDINGS: A 64-year-old female reported episodes of nonpruritic urticaria, fever, aseptic meningitis, and bilateral sensorineural deafness. Her son had experienced similar symptoms. She was initially referred for ophthalmologic treatment for an infectious corneal ulcer. Examination of her right eye by slit lamp biomicroscopy showed diffuse conjunctival injection, corneal infiltrates, a corneal ulcer, and hypopyon. She was therefore treated aggressively with topical and systemic antibiotics in addition to antifungal medications. However, this was ineffective. Genetic analysis detected the heterozygous germline p.Asp303Asn mutation in the NLRP3 gene in both our patient and her son. She was therefore diagnosed with CINCA/NOMID syndrome based on her clinical manifestations. All of the patient's physical and ophthalmic symptoms were resolved within a few days after the initiation of canakinumab treatment. During an 18-month follow-up period, no adverse events or severe infections were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Our case report indicates that canakinumab is effective not only for the treatment of systemic inflammation but also for treating ophthalmic involvement, such as recurrent stromal keratitis and anterior uveitis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a novel surgical procedure for diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME), performed in conjunction with conventional vitrectomy. METHODS: This prospective, interventional case series involved 20 eyes of 18 consecutive DME patients with best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) between 0.301 and 1.221 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) units and central retinal thicknesses (CRTs) greater than 275 μm. After vitrectomy, a small retinal detachment was made in the macula by injecting 50-100 μl balanced salt solution into the subretinal space using a 38-gauge needle. Before finishing the surgery, fluid-air exchange was performed. Patients were asked to remain in prone position for 1 day postoperatively. The main outcome measures were CRT and BCVA. RESULTS: The mean CRT of 554.6 ± 152.7 μm before surgery significantly decreased to 295.6 ± 92.5 μm (p < 0.0001) 1 week after surgery and to 185.8 ± 67.4 μm (p < 0.0001) at 6 months after surgery. The CRT was less than 250 μm in 18 eyes (90 %) at 6 months after surgery. The mean BCVA before surgery (0.706 ± 0.348) significantly improved at 6 months after surgery (0.431 ± 0.392, p < 0.0001). Postoperative BCVAs improved by more than 0.3 logMAR units in 13 eyes (65 %), remained unchanged in six eyes (30 %) and worsened in one eye (5 %). Macular edema recurred in three eyes (15 %) 2 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: This novel planned foveal detachment technique facilitated a rapid resolution of DME and contributed to improved visual acuity.

BACKGROUND: The natural course of submacular hemorrhage resulting from traumatic choroidal rupture generally has a poor outcome unless treated. The intravitreal injection of gas only or gas with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been reported to be effective, but has also been reported to induce severe complications such as retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. Recently, we reported a safe and effective procedure for treating submacular hemorrhage due to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with a low dose of rt-PA. Here we report the application of this procedure to a case of traumatic submacular hemorrhage in a 13-year-old boy, which achieved a good visual outcome. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old Japanese boy presented with a thick submacular hemorrhage in his left eye as a result of blunt trauma from being hit by a sinker. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was assessed as only able to perceive hand motions. We carried out a vitrectomy, subretinal injection of 4,000 IU rt-PA (6.9 μg) and air tamponade. The day after surgery, most of the submacular hemorrhage had moved to the inferior periphery. One month after the surgery, we observed cataract formation, thin remnants of the submacular hemorrhage and juxtafoveal choroidal rupture. We carried out cataract surgery and injected bevacizumab intravitreally to prevent the development of choroidal neovascularization. Two months after the second surgery, the submacular hemorrhage had totally disappeared and the patient had a BCVA of 20/40. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy, subretinal injection of rt-PA, and intravitreal air tamponade may be a promising strategy for treating traumatic submacular hemorrhage in young patients.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of intravitreal aflibercept injection for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). METHODS: Eighteen eyes of 17 consecutive patients with PCV received three consecutive monthly intravitreal injections of aflibercept and one additional injection 2 months later (four injections totally). All patients underwent eye examinations, which included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography. The primary endpoint of the study was the regression of polypoidal lesions. The secondary endpoints were BCVA, central retinal thickness (CRT) and changes in retinal exudation. RESULTS: Six months after the first aflibercept injection, the polypoidal lesions were completely resolved in 14 eyes (77.7%) and partially resolved in 4 eyes (22.2%). Although branching choroidal vascular networks were still present in all eyes, retinal exudative changes had completely resolved in 17 eyes (94.4%), and the mean CRT decreased significantly from 407.2±100.1 µm to 229.1±57.2 µm (p<0.0001). BCVA (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution, logMAR) improved significantly from 0.414±0.384 at baseline to 0.297±0.334 after 6 months (p=0.016). CONCLUSIONS: At 6 months, aflibercept monotherapy effectively reduced polyps, retinal exudation and CRT in patients with PCV.

BACKGROUND: Macular holes (MHs) are one of the complications of posterior uveitis that can significantly disturb vision. Conventional MH surgery (vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, and gas tamponade) has been reported to show lower closure rates in patients with MHs secondary to uveitis than in patients with idiopathic MHs. Recently, the inverted ILM flap technique has been reported to be effective for treating refractory MHs. Here, we describe the application of this technique in a patient with a large MH secondary to uveitis, and its successful closure. CASE PRESENTATION: An 80-year-old woman presented with a chronic, large MH secondary to uveitis. The minimum aperture diameter of the MH was 569 μm and extensive post-inflammatory chorioretinal atrophy was present, which included the juxtafoveal region. Vitrectomy with the inverted ILM flap technique assisted by low molecular weight hyaluronic acid was performed. Three days after surgery, the MH was closed successfully, without excessive gliosis. CONCLUSION: The inverted ILM flap technique may be the preferred surgical procedure for the treatment of large MHs secondary to uveitis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) injection, and air tamponade, followed by intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for submacular hemorrhage in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). DESIGN: Prospective, interventional case series. METHODS: setting: Two clinics. PATIENTS: Fifteen eyes of 15 consecutive patients (mean age 72 ± 7 years) with submacular hemorrhage attributable to PCV. INCLUSION CRITERIA: PCV diagnosis with unorganized submacular hemorrhage greater than 500 μm thick. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Submacular hemorrhage attributable to macular diseases (eg, high myopia, typical age-related macular degeneration, retinal angiomatous proliferation, and angioid streaks). INTERVENTION: Vitrectomy with 4000 IU t-PA injected subretinally and fluid/air exchange. Patients remained facedown for 3 days after surgery. Anti-VEGF drugs were administered as exudative changes required. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Submacular hemorrhage displacement from the macula and changes in best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs). RESULTS: Mean time from onset to surgery was 9.5 ± 4.5 (range, 5-21) days. Mean follow-up period was 9.4 ± 3.1 (range, 6-17) months. Surgery successfully displaced submacular hemorrhages from the macula in all eyes. Mean BCVA at baseline (0.98 ± 0.44) had improved significantly both 1 month after surgery (0.41 ± 0.25, P < .01) and at final visits (0.23 ± 0.25, P < .001). In all eyes, exudative retinal changes relapsed after surgery but were completely resolved by anti-VEGF injections. No complications occurred in any patients. CONCLUSION: Treating submacular hemorrhage with vitrectomy and subretinal t-PA injection, followed by intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy, is a promising strategy for improving visual acuity in PCV patients warranting further investigation.

We report a case of POEMS syndrome in a 20-year-old patient diagnosed after visiting an eye clinic with a chief complaint of reduced visual acuity. A male university student aged 20 years was referred to our department complaining of blurred vision in both eyes that had persisted for 1 month. He also noted headache, nausea, and paresthesia in the lower extremities around the same time. The visual acuity of his right and left eye was 20/40 and 20/20, respectively. Optic disc edema and serous retinal detachment were present. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed no intracranial abnormalities, while elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure, reduced nerve conduction velocity in both lower extremities, hepatosplenomegaly, M proteinemia, high blood VEGF levels, osteoblastic and osteolytic changes in the spine, and atypical plasma cells in bone lesions were noted. From the above findings, the patient was diagnosed with POEMS syndrome. He received high-dose dexamethasone, thalidomide, and radiotherapy on the sacral mass, followed by high-dose melphalan with autologous stem-cell support, and showed subsequent systemic and ophthalmologic improvement. Here, we report the youngest case ever of POEMS syndrome with ocular manifestation. If patients have optic disc edema in both eyes with no intracranial space-occupying lesion, POEMS syndrome should be considered in differential diagnosis, regardless of age.

PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of autologous transplantation of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) for refractory macular holes. DESIGN: Prospective, interventional case series. PATIENT AND METHODS: Ten eyes of 10 consecutive patients who underwent autologous transplantation of the ILM for the treatment of refractory macular holes were studied. The primary diseases in these patients were large idiopathic macular holes that had existed for more than 1 year (4 eyes), a traumatic macular hole (1 eye), myopic foveoschisis (2 eyes), foveoschisis resulting from pit-macular syndrome (2 eyes), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (1 eye). Apart from the 5 eyes with idiopathic or traumatic macular holes, macular holes developed in the other 5 eyes after initial vitrectomies with ILM removal. In all eyes, regular macular hole surgery failed to achieve closure. The main outcome measures used in this study were macular hole closure and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). RESULTS: Macular holes were closed successfully in 9 eyes (90%) after autologous transplantation of the ILM. The postoperative BCVAs were significantly better than the preoperative BCVAs (P = .007, paired t test). Postoperative BCVAs improved by more than 0.2 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution units in 8 eyes (80%) and were unchanged in 2 eyes (20%). CONCLUSIONS: Although this is a pilot study, the results suggest that autologous transplantation of the ILM may contribute to improved anatomic and visual outcomes in the treatment of refractory macular holes and may warrant further investigation.

Association between cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4*1G genotype of donors (n=412) and/or recipients (n=410), and the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus and the risk of acute cellular rejection was examined in Japanese living-donor liver transplant patients between 2004 and 2011. The concentration/dose (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus in patients carrying graft liver with CYP3A4*1/*1 was significantly higher during 7 d after surgery than in that with CYP3A4*1/*1G (214 vs. 157 [ng/mL]/[mg/kg/day], p<0.01). After postoperative day 8, no significant difference was observed among CYP3A4*1G genotypes in the graft liver. However, the C/D ratio in CYP3A4*1/*1 of the intestine was significantly higher than that in CYP3A4*1G/*1G for 5 weeks after surgery (postoperative days 1-14; p<0.001, postoperative days 15-35; p<0.01). During postoperative days 14 and 26, acute cellular rejection incidences tended to be lower in the patients with graft liver carrying the CYP3A4*1/*1 allele than in the patients carrying CYP3A4*1G allele (8.7% vs. 14.6%, p=0.0973). However, CYP3A4*1G in the intestine had almost no effect on the incidence of rejection (9.9% in CYP3A4*1/*1 vs. 12.5% in CYP3A4*1G allele, p=0.4824). CYP3A4*1G was significantly related to mRNA expression of CYP3A5 rather than of CYP3A4 in the graft liver and intestine and was strongly linked with the CYP3A5*1. Thus, we elucidated that CYP3A4*1G genotype in the intestine was an important indicator of the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus, whereas this genotype in the graft liver tended to influence the frequency of acute cellular rejection after transplantation.

背景:眼内レンズ(intraocular lens:IOL)モノビジョン法適応基準の一つに良好な裸眼視力が期待できることがある。近方設定眼に残存した角膜乱視が良好なモノビジョンを妨げ、トーリックIOL(T-IOL)に交換した症例を経験した。症例:59歳、女性。2004年、糖尿病合併症精査目的の初診から網膜症を認めず、徐々に進行した白内障に手術を施行した。両眼とも目標屈折は近方設定を計画し、2010年10月左眼に単焦点IOL(HOYA社251)を目標屈折-2.04Dで挿入したが、左眼術後に右眼は遠方設定のモノビジョン法を希望したため、右眼cyl-1,64D Ax6°の角膜乱視にT-IOL(Alcon社SN6A T3)を目標屈折-0.57Dで挿入した。術後右眼0.5×T-IOL(0.9×sph-0.5D)、左眼0.04×IOL(0.8×sph-2.0D cyl-2.0D Ax180°)で、両眼裸眼視力は遠見0.6、近見0.6のモノビジョンに満足したが、術後3ヵ月に左眼0.1×IOL(0.9×sph-1.75D cyl-1.5D Ax165°)、近見左眼0.5(0.8×sph+1.25D cyl-1.5D Ax165°)で左眼の近方視に不満を呈した。トーリックソフトコンタクトレンズを用いた乱視矯正により改善が得られ、乱視の追加矯正としてT-IOLへの交換を希望したため、初回手術から4.5ヵ月後にT-IOL(Alcon社SN6A T5)に目標屈折-2.21Dで交換。右眼0.8×T-IOL(1.2×sph-0.5D)、左眼0.1×T-IOL(1.2×sph-2.5D)、両眼裸眼視力は遠見1.0、近見0.9、近方立体視40秒、夜間運転のみ眼鏡の良好なモノビジョンと高い満足が得られた。結論:IOLモノビジョン法の成功に乱視矯正は重要な一要素であった。術後目標屈折が近方設定の際にも、乱視矯正を配慮する必要がある。(著者抄録)

水晶体嚢真性落屑を伴った白内障手術を経験したので報告する。患者は84歳男性で、右眼の視力低下を主訴に来院した。水晶体前嚢から前方にセロファン様の透明な分離膜を認めた。手術は超音波乳化吸引術+眼内レンズ挿入術(PEA+IOL)を施行した。水晶体嚢真性落屑例に対する白内障手術では連続環状嚢切開(CCC)時に前嚢の最表層のみを切除してしまい、残存前嚢に気付かずに、以後の手術操作を行うことで、チン小帯断裂や破嚢、核落下などの術中合併症を起こす可能性がある。今回、我々は、CCCを行う前後で水晶体前嚢をブリリアントブルーG(BBG)で染色することで前嚢の視認性を向上させ、安全にCCCを施行することができた。水晶体嚢真性落屑を伴った白内障手術では、水晶体前嚢を複数回BBGで染色し、確認することが有用であると考えられる。(著者抄録)

今回、白内障手術時の眼内レンズによるモノビジョン法施行者のアンケートと術後他覚的視機能評価との関係を検討したので報告する。対象は2010年10月より両眼の白内障手術時に眼内レンズによるモノビジョン法を施行した19例。近見立体視は術後屈折の左右差に関わらず平均55.3秒と良好に保たれていた。術前屈折と満足度評価点の関係は、左右が同じ屈折異常(両眼遠視、両眼正視、両眼近視)で、近視では屈折に左右差がある方が満足度が高かった、術後屈折は左右差が大きい(2.0D以上)方が小さい(1.75D以下)よりもピントが合いやすく、左右のバランスも良かった。ピントの合いやすいと評価した症例は若い傾向にあった。(著者抄録)

今回、白内障手術時の眼内レンズによるモノビジョン法を施行した症例にアンケートを行い自覚的満足度を調査したので報告する。対象は2010年10月より両眼の白内障手術時に同法を施行した19例。眼鏡をかけない遠方の見え方には約6割が満足し、近方の見え方には約8割が満足していた。遠方から近方への動的ピントの合いやすさ、左右のバランスには約6割が満足していた。眼鏡は19例中11例(58%)が使用せず、眼鏡をかける8例でもよくかけるのは4例のみであったが、遠近両用眼鏡をよくかける2例の満足度評価点は低かった。65歳以上群では眼鏡装用率が20%と低く、満足度評価点も高い傾向にあり、本法は高齢者でよりよい適応になりえた。眼内レンズによるモノビジョン法は白内障手術後の調節力消失対策に有効な手段だが、症例の選択と術後屈折値の設定には十分な検討を要した。(著者抄録)
