October Image of the Month features the End Stage Or Severe Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy. In this photo, we see a very severe case of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). PVR is characterized by the abnormal growth of scar tissue on the surface, below, and within the retina, and occurs as a complication of retinal detachment, more common in patients with ocular trauma. The scarring process leads to traction on the retina, resulting in retinal detachment and poor vision. The only treatment for PVR is retinal surgery; as of right now, there are no FDA approved treatments for PVR. In the photo above, the patient appears to have had retinal surgery, but the disease has unfortunately progressed. It is not likely that this patient would benefit from further surgery.

September Image of the Month features an Atrophic Holes. While these numerous holes appear like they portend certain doom, looks can be deceiving! Lattice with atrophic holes is a common reason patients are referred to a retina specialist for a careful scleral depressed exam. The vast majority of time, the holes are asymptomatic and will never cause the patient any harm by causing a retinal detachment. In this case, there appears to be small amounts of subretinal fluid around a few of the holes. Depending on the clinical context, the specialist may either to observe these holes or apply laser retinopexy to prevent spread of the fluid.

In honor of Dr. Charles Wykoff performing the first ENCELTO™ procedure, hear from Dr. Jeremiah Brown as he explains how this encapsulated cell therapy works and its potential to slow the progression of Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel).

08/11/2025

✨ HISTORY MADE ✨
RCTX's very own, Dr. Charles Wykoff performed the world’s first ENCELTO™ procedure. ENCELTO is the first FDA-approved treatment for Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel).

ENCELTO is a first-in-class, encapsulated cell-based gene therapy. This tiny implant (about the size of a grain of rice) delivers neuroprotective proteins directly to the retina, offering sustained, long-term treatment for patients with MacTel.

We’re proud to be leading the way in preserving vision, and honored to share this milestone with you!
