On this episode of the JVRD Author's Forum podcast, Dr. Michael A. Klufas of the Wills Eye Hospital discusses 'Outcomes of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair in Pseudophakic Eyes With Multifocal vs Monofocal Intraocular Lenses,' published in the November/December 2024 issue of JVRD. 

Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Klufas examine how multifocal lenses can complicate surgical views and outcomes, with a notable difference in primary surgical success rates—76% for multifocals versus 87% for monofocals—while stressing the importance of adapting techniques such as adding scleral buckle or encircling laser to optimize outcomes.

On this episode, Dr. Murray welcomes Andre Witkin, MD, Associate Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, to discuss the article, Retinal Vasculitis After Intravitreal Pegcetacoplan: Report From the ASRS Research and Safety in Therapeutics (ReST) Committee.

On February 17, 2023, pegcetacoplan 15mg (Syfovre – Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Waltham MA) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Beginning in April 2023, the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) Research and Safety in Therapeutics (ReST) Committee began receiving reports of intraocular inflammation (IOI) following intravitreal pegcetacoplan administration. In addition to cases of IOI without retinal vascular involvement, several reported cases included retinal vasculitis resulting in occlusive retinal vasculopathy and significant vision loss. The American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) Research and Safety in Therapeutics (ReST) Committee, as well as an expert panel, performed a retrospective review of cases of retinal vasculitis reported to the ASRS. Clinical and imaging characteristics were reviewed for evidence of retinal vasculitis and analyzed.
