Peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome successfully treated with topical prednisolone acetate 1% drops.

Peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) is a rare disease characterized by choroidal thickening around the optic disc. Visual acuity might be impaired secondary to the associated peripapillary intraretinal and/or subretinal fluids. We reported a case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with a gradual bilateral decrease in vision.

Prognostic value of pretreatment indocyanine green angiography in the acute uveitic phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.

Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment indocyanine green angiographic (ICGA) features in initial-onset acute uveitis associated with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 84 patients (168 eyes). Main outcome measures were final visual acuity, development of 'sunset glow fundus' (SGF) and progression to chronic recurrent evolution.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in retinopathy of prematurity: An updated literature review.

Laser photocoagulation can still be considered the gold standard for treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy has increasingly become an important option that plays a significant role in the treatment of ROP. Major clinical trials have been published regarding the anti-VEGF use in ROP, along with multiple other studies looking into the different agents, doses, techniques, and possible complications.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence of computer vision syndrome among medical students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of computer vision syndrome (CVS) among university medical students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after establishing remote learning during COVID-19 pandemic and to compare settings of electronic device usage and patterns of CVS protective measures applied by students before and during this pandemic.

Methods: This is an observational descriptive cross-sectional study which included 1st to 5th year medical students who were actively enrolled at the governmental colleges of medicine in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the COVID-19 lockdown. The sample size was estimated to be 287 medical students.

Indocyanine green angiographic findings in presumed intraocular tuberculosis.

Purpose: To study features of Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in patients with presumed intraocular tuberculosis.

Methods: Retrospective study of 48 consecutive patients (77 eyes) who underwent ICGA. The following signs were analysed: choroidal perfusion inhomogeneity, early hyperfluorescent stromal vessels, round or oval hypofluorescent dark dots (HDDs), hypofluorescent geographic lesions (HGLs), fuzzy or lost pattern of large stromal choroidal vessels, disc hyperfluorescence and diffuse late choroidal hyperfluorescence.

Postpartum Endogenous Endophthalmitis.

Postpartum endogenous fungal endophthalmitis in otherwise healthy females is extremely rare disease. We report a case of a 25-year-old female patient referred with a history of decreased vision in her right eye 1 month after uncomplicated vaginal delivery. She presented with multifocal chorioretinal infiltrates.

Presumed tuberculous uveitis in a university-based tertiary referral center in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: To describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of treatment in patients with presumed tuberculous uveitis (PTU).

Methods: All patients diagnosed with PTU between January 1996 and March 2013 were reviewed. The diagnosis was made when clinical findings were consistent with possible intraocular tuberculosis, strongly positive purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test result, and response to anti-tuberculous therapy with no other cause of uveitis as suggested by history, symptoms, or ancillary testing.
