Excited to share our latest publication in Retinal Cases & Brief Reports.

We report successful closure of a chronic full-thickness macular hole after PPV/ILM peel performed 2 years after presentation, with BCVA improving from 20/80 → 20/40 after failed topical therapy.

Grateful to have contributed to this newly published study on Staphylococcus warneri endophthalmitis.

Among 8 culture-proven cases:
🔹100% vancomycin susceptibility
🔹Most followed injection or surgery
🔹86% ultimately required vitrectomy

Glad to be a coauthor on this paper describing the first documented case of post-injection endophthalmitis from E. gallinarum. vanC-mediated vancomycin resistance. Poor visual outcome despite sensitive isolate. #Retina #Ophthalmology

Honored to contribute to new international consensus guidelines on fungal endophthalmitis, published in Eye and Vision. 24 experts, 12 countries, 20 consensus statements covering diagnosis, microbiology, vitrectomy timing, and antifungal therapy.

Thankful for the opportunity to contribute to this analysis of long-term outcomes of scleral-sutured IOL fixation. Over extended follow-up, Gore-Tex and Prolene sutures showed comparable safety and durability, supporting both as reliable options for secondary IOL implantation.

Check out our new study on fishing-related eye injuries 🎣👁️

Key findings:
• Fishhooks → highest risk of open-globe injury
• Majority managed outpatient with intraocular antibiotics
• No cases of postoperative endophthalmitis

Honored to be interviewed in PIE Magazine’s Vitreoretina Issue.

I discuss modern approaches to endophthalmitis — diagnostics, prevention, small-gauge PPV, and what’s coming next.

In this chapter, we review the indications for intravitreal tap and inject versus pars plana vitrectomy in the management of endophthalmitis and outline the key surgical steps for each approach.

Check out our new article in JVRD!

Regional anesthesia with MAC was used in 96% of open-globe injury cases with retained IOFBs—w/ no difference in visual outcomes vs general anesthesia.

Intraoperative IVT antibiotics ↓ postop endophthalmitis.
