The study included 68 eyes of 58 patients.

Among them, 24 eyes were treatment-naïve, and the remaining eyes had received a mean of 19.6 injections.

Immature lesions were more associated with treatment-naïve eyes and hyper-mature lesions were associated with previously treated eyes (p = 0.005).

Vascular density of the neovascular membrane was higher in the treatment-naïve group (p = 0.036) and the average MNV area was similar between the 2 groups (p = 0.683).

The most common indications for surgery in the NPDR group were ERM (67%) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (12.5%), while in the PDR group, indications were vitreous hemorrhage (56%) and tractional retinal detachment (19%).

There were no statistically significant differences in intra- and postoperative complication rates between the NPDR and PDR groups, even after adjusting for confounders; patient age at surgery and indication for surgery.

The experiment was repeated 45 times for each camera; 3 times for each of 3 mask types, on 5 volunteers, for a total of 90 trials.

Air leaks were detected with all investigated mask types.

The mean h-index amongst all subspecialties was 9.87 ± 13.90, and the mean average annual increase in h-index was 0.22 ± 0.21.

The mean number of papers published was 37.20 ± 80.08 and the mean number of authors on each paper was 3.39 ± 0.84.

The least fertile subspecialty with regards to research was cataract with 11.06 ± 27.65 mean number of papers, a mean h-index of 3.89 ± 5.84, and a mean annual increase in h-index of 0.11 ± 0.11.

The duration of perfluorocarbon tamponade ranged from 6 to 13 days (mean ± SD 10 ± 2 days).

Follow-up time ranged from 3 to 44 months (mean ± SD 11 ± 11 months).

Retinal reattachment was achieved intraoperatively in all patients.

Repeated detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy occurred in one patient (8%), who underwent repeated vitrectomies.
