Article Synopsis
- The study introduces RFS-Net, a deep learning model designed to accurately segment and identify multi-class retinal fluids (MRF) like intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, enhancing anti-VEGF therapy precision.
- RFS-Net uses advanced architecture features like atrous spatial pyramid pooling and residual blocks, trained on a dataset of OCT scans from diverse sources, to improve segmentation accuracy while maintaining global information.
- The model showed promising performance with mean F scores of around 0.76 to 0.81 for MRF segmentation, significantly increasing efficiency compared to traditional manual methods.
Purpose: To describe a case of spontaneous anterior migration of intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide (Iluvien®) implant in a pseudophakic eye with intact posterior capsule.
Observation: A 60-year old woman with proliferative diabetic retinopathy underwent uneventful pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implants in both eyes. She developed diabetic macular edema (DME) in her right eye which failed to respond to repeated intravitreal injections of Aflibercept 2mg/0.
A 14-year-old male presented to the ophthalmology clinic with a history of asthenopia. Laboratory, radiological and histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of allergic fungal sinusitis resulting in lateral displacement of the medial rectus muscles. Symptoms improved and near point of convergence recovered after surgical endoscopic decompression of the ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses.

Methods: Patients attending eye casualty with acute anterior uveitis (AAU) and suitable controls were asked to complete the GHQ and the SRRQ. A follow-up postal survey, using the same questionnaires, was repeated at least 3 months later amongst AAU patients only.
Three cases of severe capsular phimosis following augmented phacotrabeculectomy complicated by intense postoperative fibrinous uveitis are described. The marked inflammation was possibly related to the combined procedure itself, the excessive intraoperative manipulation to stretch the pupil, and the compromised blood-aqueous barrier after prolonged use of pilocarpine. The combination of fibrinous uveitis and the small size of capsulorhexis attained through a stretched pupil are possible risk factors for developing severe capsular phimosis in the absence of zonular weakness or preoperative uveitis.

Design: A comparative consecutive case series.
Methods: This was a prospective study which took place in the glaucoma unit of an academic department of ophthalmology.
Iris prolapse is a rare complication after small incision cataract surgery. We looked at the possible operative and perioperative factors that might have contributed to this complication in 2 of our patients and in another 10 patients identified through a national questionnaire survey. The details of 12 cases of iris prolapse following small incision cataract surgery are presented.

Method: Interventional case report. A 54-year-old HIV positive male patient with immune recovery vitritis syndrome had spontaneous extrusion of bilateral ganciclovir devices 4 years after primary implantation.
