Chandelier-assisted versus standard scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. Systematic review and meta-analysis
Despite a significant global decline in standard scleral buckling (SSB) procedures for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), it continues to hold its place as an essential treatment option, offering distinct advantages such as cost-effectiveness, preservation of the vitreous, improved final visual...
Risks of advanced ROP development in unscreened babies
The authors report a retrospective study of the prevalence of infants with stage 4b and 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who were never screened and the importance of screening guidelines. The study was conducted in a tertiary eye hospital in...
