Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of cuboidal cells that is strategically placed
between the rod and cone photoreceptors and the vascular bed of the choriocapillaris. It has …

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a reactive process of the ocular tissue after
perforating trauma, retinal detachment, and surgical manipulations. Although several …

Background: No internationally standardized classification of ocular trauma terminology has
existed heretofore. Despite a growing interest in eye injuries, the absence of a common …

Purpose: To report the histopathologic features of surgically removed submacular tissue
from an elderly patient with a pattern of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy on indocyanine …

AIM/BACKGROUND: Viewing the peripheral retina is the major problem in the repair of
pseudophakic retinal detachments. Conventional buckling procedures in pseudophakic …

Macrophages have long been known to play a major role in the pathogenesis of proliferative
vitreoretinal disorders. Using the monoclonal antibodies EBM11 (pan macrophage), 27E10 …

AIMS--This study aimed to evaluate both the mean time intervals between retinal disease
and the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and the time intervals at which …

Melanosomes are closely related to lysosomes and lipofuscin granules. This paper indicates
the potential involvement of lysosomal degradation processes in retinal pigment epithelial …

Background: In the ongoing discussion concerning the realization of an epiretinal prosthesis
for electric stimulation of retinal ganglion cells, long-term fixation of such a device is a crucial …

A retrospective study is reported on 106 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, treated
by vitrectomy and silicone oil injection. Indications were traction detachment in 91 eyes and …
