European VitreoRetinal Society a certain philosophy

Etienne H. Bovey, Jean-Antoine Pournaras (Lausanne, Switzerland) Purpose: To describe a new technique of surgery for pseudophakic retinal detachment, using 23G vitrectomy, slit-lamp and non-contact 90D lens. Methods: 42 pseudophakic eyes with retinal detachment were analyzed retrospectively. They were operated on by 23G vitrectomy, transconjunctival cryocoagulation, and internal tamponade with gas (37 cases) or silicone oil (5 cases)....

Casparis, Lausanne, Switzerland Advantages: Vitrectomy and gas tamponade for macular lamellar holes improve the visual acuity. Methods: Retrospective study of 37 lamellar macular holes operated on between 2000 and 2008. The following parameters were studied: age, gender, preoperative visual acuity and hole diameter, attachment of the...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2005/congress/Macular-Epiretinal-Membranes-(ERM)-with-Spontaneous-Partial-Detachment.swf E. H. Bovey Purpose: To describe the features of this particular form of macular epiretinal membranes. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the charts of patients that were operated on for epimacular membrane with spontaneous detachment. Best corrected visual acuity was measured before and after vitrectomy. Pre-, intra-, and...

Etienne Bovey Lausanne, Switzerland These three options will be discussed. Results will be presented in a series of 180 eyes. Of these eyes, 120 were phakic before vitrectomy and had cataract surgery later. Timing of cataract surgery had no effect on final visual acuity.

Etienne Bovey Lausanne, Switzerland This system, published in 1995, is a non-contact panoramic viewing system like the BIOM, but the 90D lens fixed on a support that is independent of the microscope. It gives two main advantages over the BIOM: 1) its use is very easy and the image is not lost during the horizontal movements of the microscope; 2) focusing on the anterior or posterior part of the eye is achieved easily by moving up or down...
