The aim of this study was to describe macular changes associated with tilted disc syndrome (TDS) using multimodality imaging.

This is a retrospective observational study of the consecutive TDS cases which were studied for macular changes using color fundus photographs and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein angiography, and OCT angiography were performed wherever required.

Twenty consecutive TDS cases (36 eyes) were included. OCT showed inferior depression of all layers in specific scans and macular pathologies seen included lamellar macular hole, full-thickness macular hole, retinal pigment epithelial detachment, acute and resolved subretinal fluid, central serous chorioretinopathy, and choroidal neovascular membrane. Macular involvement was seen in 13 eyes (36.11%) while in the remaining 23 eyes, outer retinal changes were seen on OCT in 9 eyes and normal retinal layers in 14 eyes (38.89%).

Various macular pathologies associated with TDS are described using multimodality imaging. These provide understanding of changes which can occur with TDS. Debio 0123 clinical trial It also highlights the need for recognition, differentiation from similar confusing entities, and the necessity to follow-up of these cases carefully to detect the macular changes earlier.

To present the outcomes of the Vitreo-retinal Society of India (VRSI) Practice Pattern Survey 2020 in surgical retina.

An online survey of members of VRSI was conducted in April 2020 regarding their practice patterns on varied medical and surgical retina topics concerning imaging and management approach. The results were evaluated by two independent experts in this field and compared with the evidence and other practice patterns in the world.

A total of 107 VRSI members participated in the online survey. Responses were obtained on management of wide-ranging surgical retina topics such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, Macular Hole, and Epiretinal membranes. Participants were also surveyed regarding their attitudes and perceptions about microscopes with the heads-up display system. Each of the survey question responses were then compared to contemporary literature, including evidence-based guidelines, randomized controlled trials, real-world evidence, and analogous international surveys. Comprehensive analysis related to this has been put forward in the article.

This survey represents the contemporary practice patterns among vitreoretinal specialists in India. The survey results are vital for fellow practitioners to understand the “standard of care” practice in surgical retina. This will guide them to devise the best possible individualized treatment strategy for most favorable clinical outcomes.

An online survey of members of VRSI was conducted in April 2020 regarding their practice-patterns on varied medical and surgical retina topics concerning imaging and management approach. The results were evaluated by two independent experts in this field and compared with the evidence and other practice patterns in the world.

A total of 107 VRSI members participated in the online survey. Responses were obtained on management of wide-ranging chorioretinal disorders such as Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR), Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV), Neovascular age related macular degeneration (n-AMD), Retinal Vein Occlusions (RVO), and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). Participants were also surveyed regarding their attitudes and perceptions about anti-VEGF practice patterns and role of imaging in their current practice. Each of the survey question responses were then compared to contemporary literature, including evidence-based guidelines, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world evidence and analogous international surveys.

To investigate the prognostic factors affecting gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) surgical success.

Fifty-three eyes were retrospectively enrolled. Open-angle glaucoma patients with at least 6-month follow-up were included. At baseline, demographic characteristics, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of anti-glaucomatous medications (AG), and glaucoma type were recorded. Postoperatively, IOP, complications, and number of AG were noted. The effects of these parameters on surgical success were investigated.

The median follow-up time was 13.7 months. The mean IOP decreased from 25.6 ± 6.2 mm Hg at baseline to 14.6 ± 3.5 mm Hg at final, and the number of AG decreased from 3.2 ± 0.78 to 1.2 ± 1.3. When target IOP was considered as 18 mm Hg and 15 mm Hg, surgical success rates were 81.1% and 60.4%, respectively. When target IOP was considered as 18 mm Hg, a positive effect of the combination with cataract surgery and a negative effect of postoperative macrohyphema on success rates were observed.
