"Graefe's Archive" is a distinguished international journal that presents original clinical reports and clinically relevant experimental studies. Founded in 1854 by Albrecht von Graefe to serve as a source of useful clinical information and a stimulus for discussion, the journal has published articles by leading ophthalmologists and vision research scientists for more than a century. With peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, "Graefe's Archive" provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related experimental information.

A Human Amniotic Membrane Plug to Promote Retinal Breaks Repair and Recurrent Macular Hole Closure.

Silicone oils are important tools in vitreoretinal surgery because they have the ability to displace aqueous humor from the retinal surface, maintaining the adhesion between retina and retinal pigment epithelium. To understand this capability, it is important to know the silicone oil characteristics. Herein, we report first on the main chemical-physical proprieties and then we review the clinical applications of the current silicone oil which is lighter than water with particular reference to their indications with small gauge vitrectomy. Finally, we describe the surgical techniques to inject and remove this type of silicone oil. In the summary of this paper, we explain why silicone oils are today increasingly used and why their introduction has improved the prognosis of several retinal diseases. In fact, having different types of silicone oils allows us to choose the appropriate endotamponade for every single case.

Silicone oil: different physical proprieties and clinical applications.

Background:The inverted flap (IF) technique has recently been introduced in macular hole (MH) surgery. The IF technique has shown an increase of the success rate in the case of large MHs and in MHs associated with high myopia. This study reports the anatomical and functional results in a large serie

Internal limiting membrane peeling versus inverted flap technique for treatment of full-thickness macular holes: a comparative study in a large series of patients.

Purpose To assess the surgical and refractive outcomes of a new technique of sutureless scleral fixation (SSF) using a single-piece foldable acrylic Carlevale lens (Soleko) SETTING: Department of Translational Surgery and Medicine, Ophthalmology, University of Florence, Careggi, Florence, Italy DESIGN: Prospective observational case series METHODS: Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with aphakia, dislocated IOL or subluxated lens who underwent sutureless scleral fixation (SSF) of a mono-piece hydrophobic acrylic Carlevale lens were studied. The patients' data including pre-operative and post-operative refractive status, complications during and after surgery were recorded. The intraocular lens tilt was evaluated using anterior segment (AS)- OCT. Results Twenty-two eyes were IOL/bag luxations, 9 were aphakia and 3 were subluxated crystalline lens. Mean pre-operative BCVA was 0.46 ± 0.29 and at the 8-month follow-up had improved to 0.13 ± 0.12 logMAR (p Conclusions SSF using Carlevale Lens represents a valid option for the management of aphakia, lens subluxation and IOL-bag complex dislocation with unique characteristics of stability. The advantages of this technique are the absence of haptic manipulation, the self-centration and the firm fixation of the lens.

Trans-scleral plugs fixated IOL: a new paradigm for sutureless scleral fixation.

Objective To assess the efficacy of the human amniotic membrane (hAM) to treat (HMMH) associated with retinal detachment (RD). Material and methods Ten eyes of 10 patients with recurrent HMMH and RD, who had already undergone one or more pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), underwent a PPV with an hAM plug implanted in the macular hole. The initial five patients enrolled were tamponaded with (SO) while the subsequent five patients with 10% octafluoropropane (C3 F8 ). Silicon oil was removed in all five patients 2 months later. No statistical differences were reported between the two groups. Results Final retinal reattachment was achieved in all the patients. BCVA improved from 1.73 logMAR to 0.94 logMAR after 6 months. No adverse events were registered during follow-up. Conclusion An hAM plug is an efficient substrate to manage HMMH associated with RD resulting in encouraging visual acuity recovery.
