25 vs. 27-Gauge Vitrectomy for Visually Significant Macular Membranes and Full-Thickness Macular Holes
(Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Jun 2023)
Study Purpose: This comparative study aims to further evaluate the visual and safety outcomes for 25-gauge (25G) vs. 27G MIVS systems for the treatment of epiretinal membrane (ERM) and full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) using a larger sample number to increase statistical power from our previous report.
Predicting FTMH presence in OCT scans using a deep learning model
(Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Jun 2023)
Study Purpose: A [deep learning] model was trained and tested on preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) images on two sets of patients: those diagnosed with full thickness macular holes (FTMH), and those with Epiretinal membrane (ERM) only.
