Proliferative Sickle cell Retinopathy (PSR) is a cause of visual loss in the working age group which has an impact on the economy and quality of life.

A Survey of the Management of Diabetic Macular Oedema in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: There is minimal information about the availability of treatment for Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The principal aim of this survey was to determine the 'real world' management of DMO amongst ophthalmologists working in SSA.

Methodology: Questionnaires were distributed to members of retinal and ophthalmological societies in SSA.

Risk factors for COVID-19 infection and disease severity in Nigeria: a case-control study.

Methods: this was an unmatched case-control study that recruited participants in the country from April to July 2020.

Ocular manifestations of leukaemia: A teaching hospital experience.

Background: Knowledge of the ophthalmic manifestations of leukaemia is important not only because of the frequency with which changes are seen but because the eye often reflects the disease state of the illness, and once identified, prompt referral, early treatment can be instigated, blindness can be averted and a life may be saved. These manifestations are often overlooked because of the underestimation of the magnitude of the ocular sequelae which may be blinding.

Aim: This study aims to describe the ophthalmic findings in adult leukaemic patients at two teaching hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria.
