  12. Function and morphology of the retinal pigment epithelium after light-induced damage • Purpose: To determine the threshold energy for light-induced functional damage of the retinal pigment epithelium at various wavelengths • Broadband blue light (400-520 nm) Yellow light (510-740 nm) Narrowband blue light (408, 417, 439, 455, 485, 501) • 58 pigmented rabbit eyes, 21 albino rabbits. • Blue light 30 times more efficient than yellow light in causing dysfunction of the blood-retinal barrier. • Melanin seemed to play no role. No influence on the threshold energy.

  13. Endoillumination during vitrectomy and phototoxicity thresholds Br J Ophthalmol 2000;84:1372–1375 • Not safe with respect to photochemical retinal damage • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) • 1 min - 10 mm working distance

  14. Histology of the Vitreoretinal Interface after Indocyanine Green Staining of the ILM, with Illumination Using a Halogen and Xenon Light Source • 10 human eyes • 6 pig eyes • 3 min light exposure: xenon and halogen CONCLUSIONS: Care should be taken when comparing results obtained in human eyes and porcine eyes. Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. 2005;46:1468-1472

  15. Light toxicity Three general mechanisms: • Thermal (thermal confinement) • Mechanical (stress confinement) • Photochemical effects

  16. Retinal vessel abnormalities of phototoxic retinopathy in rats • Progressive loss of outer retina • Approximation deep capillary bed • Vaso – obliterative changes • Extensive pyknosis and reduction of nuclei in the outer nuclear layer, damage to ganglion cells, and edema formation.

  21. Symptomatic vs asymptomatic • Visible vs invisible • The early finding: deep retinal whitening +/- serous retinal detachment • Oval shaped vs round homogenous • Resolution 48 hours after surgery • Mottling RPE in late postop • IVFA: window defect • Autoflurescence (!) • OCT Kleinmann G, Hoffman P, Schechtman E, Pollack A.

  40. SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS • Any illumination system can be phototoxic, therefore usually precautoins apply. • Surgical time shortened (?) • Various filters are introduced during surgery. • Try to vary the directionality and intensity of light throughout the case; combining diffuse and tangential "spot" lighting • No use illuminated forceps or scissors in macular surgery (small gauge surgery)

  41. To reduce the risk of retinal phototoxicity:

  42. 420nm cut-off: standard 435nm cut-off: for core vitrectomy and general membrane removal 475nm cut-off: for removal of membranes adherent to the retina 515nm cut-off: for macular repair Xenon BrightStar - 1266-XIII, DORC

  43. SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS • Illuminating just the area between the vascular arcades, which has a diameter of about 10 mm, would correspond with a fibre- optic distance of only 5 mm • Minimize the time that the fiber optic tip is less than 8-10 mm from the retinal surface • Not to use the light probe as an instrument to manipulate the detached retina (photochemical damage) • Exposure to the operating microscope light should be minimized as much as possible by either turning off the illumination source or placing a small shield or cover on the cornea when not using the microscope

  44. To reduce the risk of retinal phototoxicity:

  45. SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS • Use of intraoperative dyes, such as indocyanine green, or systemic medications, such as tetracycline, may alter the threshold for damage. • Be aware of the output power from the fiber optic; ideally aim for 10-20 mW. • Power output range from 24 lumens for stiff 25- gauge light probes to over 80 lumens on some chandeliers. • Remember that a fresh bulb will increase the power output. • Surgical video!
