PRIMARY LENS EXTRACTION IN ACUTE PRIMARY ANGLE CLOSURE
Although peripheral iridotomy is the current standard therapy for acute primary angle closure many Asian eyes with angle closure develop uncontrolled intraocular pressure even after this treatment. Tan and co-workers describe the results of a prospective observational case series of 135 consecutive angle closure patients who underwent primary lens extraction. They document good visual acuity and a low complication rate for this procedure.
See p 14


OUTCOMES OF VITRECTOMY FOR DIABETIC MACULAR OEDEMA
Vitrectomy for diabetic macular oedema is a well established therapy. However, whether there are subgroups of patients with diabetic macular oedema who are more appropriate for this therapy has not yet been established. Shah and co-workers describe a prospective interventional case series of 33 patients who underwent vitrectomy for diabetic macular oedema. In this study the visual benefit for diabetic macular oedema was limited to patients who exhibited signs of macular traction either clinically and/or on optical coherence tomography.
