Foldable capsular buckle as a viable intervention for retinal detachment in late pregnancy A 28-year-old female patient who was 36 weeks pregnant reported experiencing floaters. Fundus examination revealed a horseshoe tear at 10 o’clock position, a resultant retinal detachment extending through 2 clock hours and macular unaffected. Typically, scleral buckle is suggested but the surgical procedure - pulling of the rectus muscle - may increase the oculo-cardiac reflex as well as intraoperative and postoperative pain1. Thus, for this late pregnancy female, we implant a foldable capsular buckle (VESBER, Guangzhou, China)2.

Histomorphology of an Ocular Surface Squamous Cell Carcinoma In Situ A 78-year-old woman was referred for a lesion of the left eye. (A) Slit-lamp photography showed a limbal mass exhibiting leukoplakia and a papillary growth pattern, with sessile extension onto the cornea. (B) Concurrent, indirect illumination utilizing the sclerotic scatter technique better demonstrated its organization and the central “hairpin” vessels within each papilla. (C) Excisional biopsy revealed complex papillary proliferation of squamous epithelium; cellular crowding was visible. (D) Higher-power magnification showed atypical cells, with hyperchromatic and enlarged nuclei throughout the entire thickness of the epithelium.

Reply to Comment on: Impact of Phacoemulsification on Vitreomacular Traction Release and Complications We thank Drs. Çağlar and Güven for their interest in our article and thoughtful comments on the clinical implications of the results.1,2 Our study evaluated the clinical assumption that phacoemulsification impacts vitreomacular traction (VMT) release. We found that the evidence instead suggested that intrinsic patient factors, such as younger age and smaller adhesion diameter, were predictors of VMT release, while patients who self-identified as Black were less likely to experience spontaneous resolution than patients who identified as White.

Effect of micropulse trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) on aqueous humour dynamics in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension: an observational study Background Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, affects over 60 million people globally and 700 000 in the UK. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor for disease progression. Micropulse trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments by reducing IOP with minimal complications. Although MP-TSCPC is hypothesised to lower IOP by decreasing aqueous humour production and altering aqueous outflow, the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood.Aims This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MP-TSCPC on aqueous humour dynamics in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), focusing on IOP, aqueous humour production and outflow pathways 6 months post treatment.Results Of the 31 patients undergoing MP-TSCPC, 61% were men, of which 71% were of black ethnicity, with 28 patients completing the 6-month follow-up. A significant 10% reduction in mean IOP (25.08±5.06 mm Hg to 22.56±4.89 mm Hg, p=0.005) and a 26.08% reduction in aqueous humour production (from 2.34±0.64 to 1.74±0.4 µL/min, p=0.0001) were observed. There were no statistically significant changes in tonographic outflow facility or uveoscleral outflow. Treatment was well-tolerated, with few mild adverse events reported.Conclusion This study demonstrates that MP-TSCPC reduces IOP primarily through decreased aqueous humour production, with no discernible impact on outflow pathways. These findings refine the understanding of MP-TSCPC’s mechanism of action, highlighting its potential as a safe and effective treatment for glaucoma and OHT. Future studies should explore ways to enhance efficacy and long-term outcomes.
