International Ophthalmology, 2026
Purpose This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the EyeSi Surgical Simulator (VRmagic, Mannheim, Germany) in enhancing surgical proficiency among trainees performing vitreoretinal procedures. Methods Trainees underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic and orthoptic examination at baseline (T0) and 30 min after completing the simulation session (T1), which included the cover-uncover test, ocular motility assessment, fusional amplitudes, convergence measurements, and stereopsis evaluation using the TNO stereotest. A questionnaire evaluated 18 symptoms for frequency, severity, and bothersomeness. Performance scores from the first and final 15 min on the same module were compared. Results Orthoptic examinations were conducted before and 30 min after virtual reality (VR) simulator use on 34 trainees. Far fusional amplitude increased significantly both without (19.4 ± 8.8 Δ vs. 23.9 ± 9.7 Δ, p = 0.003) and with striated lenses (18.2 ± 10.4 Δ vs 20.5 ± 9.1 Δ, p = 0.02). Near fusional amplitude remained unchanged, regardless of striated glasses ( p = 0.52). At baseline, TNO score was 60 arcsec in 82% of trainees and 120 arcsec in 18%. After VR simulation, 52% of eyes scored 60 arcsec, 41% scored 120 arcsec, and 7% scored 240 arcsec ( p = 0.02). Ocular discomfort was reported by 32% of trainees, with symptoms rated as mild. All trainees’ performance score improved from initial to the final simulation session. Conclusions The EyeSi surgical simulator enhances surgical proficiency in vitreoretinal procedures with a minor, short-term reduction on stereopsis and a low incidence of mild discomfort.

Graefe S Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2026
The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the principal features of non-neovascular age – related macular degeneration (NNAMD) and how they appear by multimodal imaging. None are specific of the disease, but their simultaneous detection, their distribution and the development in a particular age range allow to make the correct diagnosis. The current availability of different imaging modalities offers the chance to better characterize the disease and to detect the earliest changes, monitoring its progression to the late stage, known as geographic atrophy (GA). A recent consensus has provided a novel definition of GA, based on optical coherence tomography (OCT), introducing two novel concepts: incomplete and complete retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA and cRORA, respectively). The main recognized risk factors for progression are soft drusen, drusenoid pigment epithelium detachment (PED), subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), intraretinal hyperreflective foci (iHRF) and acquired vitelliform lesion. Soft drusen represent one of the earliest signs of NNAMD and their confluence can lead to the development of drusenoid PED, whose height mainly correlates with progression. SDD have been better characterized after the advent of the OCT and differently from the drusen, the material accumulates above the RPE. iHRF could be observed in different retinal layers, but the involvement of the outer nuclear layer has been recognized to correlate more with GA development. The identification of valid biomarkers is crucial to monitor and predict the disease progression and to evaluate the efficacy of novel proposed therapies in clinical trials.

Emanuele Crincoli, Matteo Mario Carlà, Fiammetta Catania, Federico Giannuzzi, Maria Cristina Savastano, Giorgia Campaniello, Francesco Mottola, Clara Rizzo, Daniela Bacherini, Stanislao Rizzo
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2026
Background To determine whether a progressive reduction in Choroidal Vascularity Index (ΔCVI) is independently associated with unexplained visual loss (UVL) in highly myopic (HM) eyes without pathologic myopia (PM), and to evaluate the predictive utility of baseline CVI as a structural biomarker. Methods This longitudinal study included 126 HM eyes (axial length ≥26.0 mm or SE ≤–6.00 D) without PM and with ≥5 years of optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up, including 35 eyes with UVL—defined as ≥0.1 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity loss in the absence of new anatomical, refractive or media-related changes— and 91 control eyes with stable vision. A 1:2 propensity score analysis was performed matching 32 eyes from UVL group and 62 control eyes. CVI was computed from subfoveal OCT B-scans acquired with Heidelberg Spectralis at baseline and at 60 months. ΔCVI was defined as the difference between follow-up and baseline. Multivariate logistic regression and ROC analyses were performed on the whole cohort to identify independent predictors of UVL. Results ΔCVI was significantly greater in UVL eyes (mean –1.87%) than in controls (–0.61%, p < 10⁻¹³). Baseline CVI did not differ significantly after matching (p = 0.12). In multivariate analysis, ΔCVI emerged as the strongest predictor of UVL (OR=10.4 per 1% CVI decrease; p < 0.001), with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 and a Youden index of 0.66. In contrast, baseline CVI had poor predictive power (AUC=0.69) and did not improve model performance when added. Conclusions Longitudinal reduction in CVI, but not baseline CVI, is strongly associated with UVL in HM eyes without PM. ΔCVI may represent an early biomarker of functional decline before visible macular damage.
Prechoroidal cleft in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD): A narrative review of pathophysiology, clinical implications and prognosis
Clara Rizzo, Lorenzo Vannozzi, Marco Lupidi, Maria Cristina Savastano, Enrico Borrelli, Rodolfo Mastropasqua, Fabio Panini, Emanuele Crincoli, Francesco Faraldi, Gianni Virgili, Fabrizio Giansanti, Daniela Bacherini
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2026
The prechoroidal cleft (PC) is a hyporeflective space visualized on optical coherence tomography (OCT), typically located within the pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) in neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD). Although its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, proposed mechanisms include fluid accumulation secondary to macular neovascularization (MNV), contractile forces from fibrovascular tissue and chronic structural remodelling of the outer retinal layers. This narrative review synthesizes the current evidence regarding the imaging features, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical relevance and prognostic implications of the PC in nAMD. The presence of a PC has been variably associated with MNV activity, poor visual outcomes, increased treatment burden and a higher risk of complications, such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears and submacular haemorrhage (SMH). However, emerging data suggest that the cleft may regress following sustained anti‐VEGF therapy, implying a potential role as a marker of therapeutic response and anatomical improvement. Thus, the PC may serve as a dynamic biomarker of disease activity in nAMD patients. Nevertheless, its precise role in disease progression remains unclear, highlighting the need for further longitudinal and histopathological studies.

Emanuele Crincoli, Matteo Mario Carlà, Alfonso Savastano, Mariacristina Savastano, Raphael Kilian, Clara Rizzo, Tomaso Caporossi, Stanislao Rizzo
International Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2025
Purpose To summarize knowledge about the effects of experimental and iatrogenic hypothermia on ocular structures, with a specific focus on retinal consequences and therapeutical perspectives in vitreoretinal surgery. Materials and methods This review of the literature includes a section on the effects of low temperature on different ocular structures (sclera, choroid, retina, vitreous and ciliary body), a focus on the effect on retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retinal neurons and inflammation and a section about results of vitreoretinal surgery performed at low temperature. In vitro, animal and human studies were included. Results Temperature changes induce several regulatory responses within the eye, including modifications of intraocular pressure (IOP), local blood flow, cytokine secretion and cellular metabolism. Cooling of retinal structures has been demonstrated to induce beneficial effects including increased survival of RPE and retinal neurons. Vitreoretinal surgery performed at lower intraocular temperatures has shown positive effect on postoperative inflammation, even though the rebound effect of a sudden postoperative temperature increase seems to be detrimental. Conclusions Despite being a promising approach, vitreoretinal surgery performed under lower intraocular temperature conditions deserves refinement in its methodologies. Hopefully, new randomized clinical trials will provide indications on how to apply this technique in the safest and most effective way.

BMC Ophthalmology, 2025
BACKGROUND: Primary mitochondrial myopathies (PMM) are disorders that involve defects in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and impair mainly, but not exclusively, skeletal muscles. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), eyelid ptosis, exercise intolerance and skeletal muscle weakness are the most common symptoms of myopathy in mitochondrial diseases, impairing ocular motility and visual abilities. METHODS: Twenty-five patients underwent complete ophthalmological examination, including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ptosis evaluation, dilated fundus examination, and orthoptic examinations, including cover and cover-uncover test, ocular motility analysis, fusional amplitude (FA) vergence for near and for distance, Bagolini striated glasses test (BSGs) and Worth four-dot lights test (WFDT). RESULTS: Mean age at evaluation was of 47,2 ± 16.07 years. Twenty-two (88%) out of 25 patients had a PEO disease, while three (12%) of them a Kearn-Sayre syndrome (KSS). Ocular motility impairment was found in 92% of the population. Fifteen patients (60%) didn't complain of double vision in casual seeing condition despite some of them showed manifest strabismus both at far (53%) and at near (60%). A compensation sensorial mechanism, mainly suppression, was detected through sensory tests. The near and distance fusional capabilities in convergence and in divergence (CFAs and DFAs) were absent in 68 and 72% of the whole sample respectively. PEO manifests at an older age than KSS (p = 0.003), diplopia does not correlate with disease duration (p = 0.06) and no predictive factors for diplopia can be identified. CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of patients not complaining of double vision in casual seeing state showed manifest or latent/manifest strabismus at FAoD and NAoD. Most strabismic patients had a monocular suppression or alternate diplopia and suppression at sensory tests (BSGs and WFDT). The pathophysiology of these sensory adaptations in an adult visual system can only be hypothesized. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for proper clinical management and to analyze an understand clinical features pathogenesis.

Clinical Proteomics, 2025
Our objective is to determine the protein and complements constituents of Cord blood Platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP), based on the hypothesis that it contains beneficial components capable of arresting or potentially decelerating the advancement of atrophic age-related macular degeneration (dry-AMD), with the support of radiomics. Two distinct pools of CB-PRP were assessed, each pool obtained from a total of 15 umbilical cord-blood donors. One aliquot of each pool respectively was subjected to proteomic analysis in order to enhance the significance of our findings, by identifying proteins that are shared between the two sample pools and gaining insights into the pathways they are associated with. The bioinformatics analysis was developed using Reactome software. Three-hundred-seven (307) distinct proteins were found. Two hundred fifteen (215) of the elements mentioned above are shared by both pools. Seventy (70) elements are exclusive to pool S1, while pool S2 contains 22. We detected 109 representative and statistically significant pathways out of 549. We found proteins related to the immune system, signal transduction, vesicle-mediated transport, cell-cell communication, hemostasis, cellular responses to stimuli, cell cycle, and developmental biology. The analysis showed the presence of P15692-12, representing VEGF factor A, long form. With over 200 proteins, the CB-PRP can increase the immune response, including BCR, CD-22, FCGR, phospholipids, IL-10, FCGR-3A, and others. Discovering crucial trophic and complement-regulating variables is highly significant for potential applications in dry AMD. Our future research will examine the effects of intravitreal CB-PRP on dry-AMD eyes.

Retinal Cases and Brief Reports, 2025
Purpose: To report a case of a patient with perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) and to analyze morphological and vascular changes by OCT and OCTA before and after treatment. Materials and Methods: In this case we reported a case which received multiple treatment for unresponsive effect to Repeated Aflibercept intravitreal injections, subthreshold micropulse laser therapy (SMPL) duty cycle 5%. At last the focal fully dose yellow laser was performed. Results: A 57-year-old male patient presented with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 in his right eye (RE) The fundoscopic evaluation, structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) deposed for a diagnosis of PEVAC. The patient underwent three Aflibercept intravitreal injections in the RE. Since no changes were detected, we opted for multiple sessions of yellow subthreshold micropulse laser therapy (SMPL) duty cycle 5%, however no signs of regression were registered. Only after a fully dose yellow laser, signs of edema regression were observed. Stuctural OCT B-scan showed complete restitutio of retinal profile, in absence of any intraretinal or subretinal fluid and PEVAC lesion, while the OCTA showed a slight flow deficit at the previous lesion site. Conclusions and Importance: The PEVAC treatment is still unknown. In our experience, we reported a case of multiple treatments for unresponsive effect to: Aflibercept intravitreal injections, subthreshold micropulse laser therapy (SMPL) duty cycle 5%. At list the focal fully dose yellow laser was the only effective in our patient. We proposed our management to share the heterogeneous response at PEVAC entity.

Ophthalmic Surgery Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2025
This case report describes a vasoproliferative tumor in a 16-year-old male patient with Coats' disease, treated with laser photocoagulation, cryoablation, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections therapies, that developed an epiretinal membrane as a complication. The surgical treatment in association with the retinal laser treatment greatly improved visual acuity. At 8 months follow-up from surgery, visual acuity had significantly improved, and macular anatomy recovered. Vasoproliferative tumors may occur in patients with Coats' disease, and in such a clinical scenario, a multiple therapeutical approach should be considered, in order to reach the best anatomical and functional outcome for the patient.

Francesco Faraldi, Carlo Alessandro Lavia, Daniela Bacherini, Clara Rizzo, Maria Cristina Savastano, Marco Nassisi, Mariantonia Ferrara, Mario R Romano, Stanislao Rizzo
Diagnostics, 2025
Background/Objectives: In rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), vitreous cortex remnants (VCRs) may contribute to the development and progression of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This study aimed to evaluate potential toxicity and trauma secondary to VCRs visualization and removal during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD. Methods: Prospective study on patients with primary RRD who underwent PPV. Imaging assessment included widefield OCT (WF-OCT), ultra-WF retinography and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). During PPV, a filtered and diluted triamcinolone acetonide (TA) solution (20 mg/mL) was used to evaluate the presence and extension of VCRs, removed using an extendible diamond-dusted sweeper (EDDS). After six months, retinal and retinal pigment epithelium toxicity and retinal trauma due to VCRs removal were investigated. Results: Retinal reattachment was achieved in 21/21 cases included in the study. No signs of retinal or RPE toxicity were detected and WF-OCT performed in the areas of VCRs removal revealed an intact inner retinal architecture in the majority of eyes, with minor and localized inner retinal indentations in 4 cases. Conclusions: VCRs visualization and removal using TA and EDDS appears to be safe, with no retinal toxicity and very limited and circumscribed mechanical trauma. This approach may contribute to reducing the risk of postoperative PVR.
