Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue of JCM on “Vitreoretinal Diseases: Latest Advance in Diagnosis and Management” provides a unique opportunity for experts in the field to share their knowledge and research with a wider audience.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in the treatment of retinal conditions, such as retinal detachment, including innovative surgical procedures and advancements in retina reattachment. We will also delve into the latest research on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a complication that can occur after retinal detachment surgery, and discuss the potential consequences and treatment options for this condition. Additionally, we will discuss the various disorders that can affect the macula. From macular holes to macular hemorrhage, we will examine the latest treatments and therapies that are available to help patients maintain their vision and quality of life.

By exploring the latest developments in diagnosis, surgical interventions, pharmacological treatments, and technological advancements, this Special Issue provides valuable insights for ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with retinal disorders.

We encourage you to share your expertise and research in this field by submitting your work to this Special Issue. We are excited to review and showcase your contributions.

We look forward to your submissions.

New Tablet-Based Written Examination System for Metamorphopsia Quantification
by Hisashi Fukuyama, Kazuma Mikami, Yoichi Okita, Eri Tahara, Yuki Yamamoto, Masataka Imura and Fumi Gomi

Abstract
Background: We aimed to develop a tablet-based written examination system (Implementing digitization in assessment for metamorphopsia: IDAM) to quantify metamorphopsia severity and monitor changes after treatment in patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: This prospective study [...] Read more.
Background: We aimed to develop a tablet-based written examination system (Implementing digitization in assessment for metamorphopsia: IDAM) to quantify metamorphopsia severity and monitor changes after treatment in patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: This prospective study included 33 eyes from 31 patients with ERM or CSC. Patients used a tablet and stylus to illustrate perceived line distortions with IDAM. IDAM displayed a grid at a size of 20° × 20° (771 × 771 pixels), and patients depicted any distortions that they perceived in the presented lines. Metamorphopsia scores were calculated by summing the line deviation distances. Scores and distortion areas were compared before and three months after treatment. Results: Thirty eyes had baseline metamorphopsia on IDAM. The average pretreatment IDAM scores were 196,598 pixels (ERM) and 98,414 pixels (CSC). IDAM and M-charts scores were correlated (r = 0.38, p = 0.03). IDAM scores improved post-treatment in both groups (both p < 0.001). Distortion areas decreased from 6.6 to 4.2 (p = 0.0049). Conclusions: IDAM allowed quantitative metamorphopsia evaluation and detected treatment responses. This tablet-based system could facilitate at-home monitoring in macular disorders. Full article

Objective: To explore the effect of time exposure to flat screen electronic devices with LED lighting and the Mediterranean diet on macular pigment optical density (MPOD). Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, the MPOD was measured by heterochromatic flicker photometry in 164 eyes (47 of younger women aged 20–31 and 35 of older women aged 42–70). Exclusion criteria: evidence of macular degeneration and eyes with cataracts. Data on the use of electronic devices and Mediterranean diet adherence were collected through a survey. Nonparametric analysis of variance and independent sample t-tests were used to compare subjects. Results: Significant differences (p < 0.01) were found in total time of exposure to LEDs (hours per day) between both groups (9.31 ± 3.74 younger women vs. 6.33 ± 3.64 older women). The MPOD values for the younger and adult populations were significantly different: 0.38 ± 0.16 and 0.47 ± 0.15 (p < 0.01), respectively. When comparing both groups for the same time of exposure to LEDs, differences were obtained between MPOD values of both populations: For total exposures greater than 6 h per day, the MPOD values were lower in younger women than in adult ones (0.37 ± 0.14 vs. 0.50 ± 0.14, p < 0.01). On the other hand, a significantly higher adherence was found in the older women in comparison with the younger women (OW 9.23 ± 2.50 vs. YW 7.70 ± 2.08, p < 0.01), with higher MPOD values (OW (0.52 ± 0.14) vs. (YW (0.34 ± 0.18). Conclusions: Higher MPOD values are observed with decreasing exposure time to electronic devices with LED lighting screens and higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Full article

Background: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a severe condition that may lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has become a preferred surgical intervention, particularly in complex cases. Objective: Retinal displacement (RD) following PPV for RRD can lead to visual distortions and can negatively impact patient quality of life. This review examines surgical techniques, tamponade choices, and postoperative strategies to mitigate displacement risks and their clinical implications. Methods: A systemic review of studies from 2010 to 2024 was conducted using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Ovid. The search included terms such as “retinal displacement, “tamponade agents”, and postoperative positioning”. Inclusion criteria focused on studies addressing PPV outcomes, retinal alignment, and visual distortions. Methodological quality was assessed using PRISMA guidelines. Results: Gas tamponades were associated with lower RD rates compared to silicone oil. Intraoperative use of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) improved retinal stability. Postoperative positioning strategies significantly reduced visual distortions. Conclusions: Surgical and postoperative techniques substantially influence RD risk. Advances in imaging and tamponade agents offer promising avenues to improve patient outcomes and minimize RD. Full article
