The Thin Line Beetwen Foveal Sparing Peel in Abnormal Adhered ERM Cases and Macular Hole Creation

March 8, 2026

This is a case of a usual moderate epiretinal membrane in the left eye of a 64 year-old female, pseudophakic patient. BCVA was 20/60. During pars plana vitrectomy, abnormal adherence was noticed during ERM peel. This way, in order to avoid macular hole creation, we decided to discontinue complete ERM peel, sparing the fovea while trimming the redundant ERM membrane. ILM peel was extended in order to minimize ERM recurrence.

Repair of Closed Funnel Retinal Detachment Through Boston KPro

February 22, 2026

This patient initially presented with a severe keratitis which led to a corneal perforation that required multiple transplants. Ultimately, a Boston KPro was placed. Upon presentation to our clinic she had a dense retroprosthetic membrane and a closed funnel retinal detachment. In this video we show the repair which was a challenge. Ultimately, we were able to reattach the retina after complex and extensive tissue manipulation.

Unveiling the sub-ILM haemorrhages

January 25, 2026

This video presents a series of non-resolving pre-retinal haemorrhages involving the macula that required surgical intervention. Clinically, distinguishing subhyaloid from sub-ILM haemorrhages can be challenging. Intraoperatively, high-magnification visualization helps identify the exact plane, guiding ILM peeling when the bleed is sub-ILM. The video highlights these magnified views to differentiate the planes of pre-retinal haemorrhage.

1.4 MM Trophy

January 21, 2026

A 47-year-old man presented after a metallic particle struck his left eye while using a power saw. VA hand motion; IOP 8 mmHg; RAPD, ciliary injection, 2-mm hypopyon, 2+ cells. B-scan: dense hemovitreous; CT: large metallic IOFB on inferior retina. Dense hemovitreous revealed an inferior IOFB with RRD. An inferior L-sclerotomy allowed 0.12 forceps removal (enlarged, then closed). Endolaser, fluid–air exchange, PFCL removal, 1000-cSt silicone oil, and methotrexate used. Retina remains attached.

33 Y.O patient with a total RRD in one eye without PVD, multiple peripheral breaks and macular involvement, and extensive predisposing lattice degeneration in the fellow eye. The affected eye was managed with combined encircling scleral buckle, phacoemulsification with IOL implantation, and 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy using PFCL, endolaser, and C3F8 gas tamponade. A prophylactic scleral buckle was later placed in the fellow eye. Bilateral anatomic success achieved and maintained for both eyes

FLANGED IOL IMPLANTATION

December 23, 2025

This video demonstrates the technique of flanged intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cases of surgical aphakia, particularly in eyes with large corneal diameters (>12 mm), where conventional scleral-fixated IOL methods carry a higher risk of postoperative IOL slippage or excessive tilt. The flanged approach provides stable fixation, improved centration, and enhanced long-term IOL stability in challenging anatomical situations.
