“…In addition, though the modified CTR had improved surface hydrophilicity and roughness to inhibit cell adhesion and proliferation in vitro , they showed ignorable effect in ex-vivo , but at least they wouldn't promote cell adhesion and proliferation. Reports showed that under the focusing function of the eye lens, the laser will be concentrated into a very small spot on the retina, and the retinal photoreceptor cells can be destroyed by an instantaneous increase of 10 °C [33] . At the same time, the eye will focus the NIR light on the retina.…”

“…Such complications that can occur when using laser-and light-based devices in this anatomic site include posterior synechiae, iris atrophy, macular holes, iris pigment dispersion, anterior uveitis, and blindness. [10][11][12][13][14] Most of the events occur in the absence of sufficient eye protection.…”

BACKGROUNDPeriorbital rejuvenation is a common cosmetic concern. A fractional thermomechanical skin rejuvenation system was developed to offer clinical improvements from direct heat transfer.OBJECTIVEA prospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the device for periorbital fine lines and wrinkles.MATERIALS AND METHODSSubjects with moderate-to-severe periorbital rhytides were enrolled and underwent 4 monthly treatments with a novel device using thermomechanical fractional injury (Tixel 2; Novoxel, Netanya, Israel).RESULTSFifty-one subjects were enrolled. Mean age was 56.8 years, and 88.2% were women. Fitzpatrick skin Types I to IV were included. For Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Classification System (FWCS), mean baseline score was 5.7. Per investigator, there was a mean 2.0-grade improvement in FWCS at 3-month follow-up (p < .0001). Per 3 blinded physician raters, there was a mean improvement of 2.2 (p < .0001), 2.0 (p < .0001), and 1.2 (p < .0001) in FWCS at 3-month follow-up. Each of the raters correctly identified posttreatment images for 87.5%, 77.1%, and 75.0% of subjects. At least 2 raters agreed on grading 83.3% of subjects as responders. There were no severe adverse events. Subjects experienced minimal pain and downtime.CONCLUSIONA novel device using thermomechanical fractional injury was demonstrated to be safe and effective in the treatment of periorbital rhytides.

“…The postulated mechanism responsible for these holes can be explained by the acoustic vibrations from the YAG laser during lysis of the posterior capsule resulting in disturbances in vitreoretinal stability, and injury and interruption of photoreceptors and retinal tissue lining the macula. 9,10 Although YAG laser-induced macular holes have been previously reported to spontaneously close in the adult population, 10 there is a paucity of reports on spontaneous closure and recovery of vision after a YAG laser-induced macular hole in the pediatric population. Case reports indicate successful spontaneous closure of macular holes do occur in the pediatric population after non-YAG laser-induced traumatic macular holes with recovery of acuity.…”

Purpose: To describe the novel finding of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness macular hole resulting from YAG laser capsulotomy in a 13-year-old girl with previous history of retinal detachment repair and cataract surgery.Methods: A 13-year-old girl who had developed a macular hole after YAG laser was noted to have spontaneous resolution of the macular hole at 2-week follow-up visit with concurrent increase in visual acuity. Institutional review board was not applicable for this case.Results: Spontaneous resolution of a YAG laser-induced macular hole in a pediatric patient.Conclusion: This is a novel report in a pediatric patient of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness macular hole induced by YAG laser capsulotomy. If a macular hole is noted after YAG capsulotomy, consideration should be given to initial close observation rather than surgical intervention as spontaneous resolution may occur.
