The detrimental effects of smoking are multisystemic and its effects on the eye health are significant. Smoking is a strong risk factor for age-related nuclear cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, delayed corneal epithelial healing and increased risk of cystoid macular edema in patients with intermediate uveitis among others. We aimed to characterize the aqueous humor (AH) proteome in chronic smokers to gain insight into its perturbations and to identify potential biomarkers for smoking-associated ocular pathologies.

- The study focused on tele-ophthalmology consultations for primary physicians in the IDF during the Covid-19 lockdown, analyzing medical records from March to June 2020.
- Of 245 cases reviewed, most diagnoses were common eye issues, with a significant percentage of patients receiving treatment from primary physicians, while tele-ophthalmology helped prevent unnecessary ER visits in nearly 40% of cases.
- The findings suggest that while tele-ophthalmology has limitations, it can effectively assist primary care physicians in managing patients, especially those with limited access to eye specialists.

Purpose: Pars planitis is a commonly observed type of pediatric uveitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implications of pars planitis-associated cystoid macular edema (CME) on visual outcome and treatment modalities.
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records in a single center with academic practice.
: To study the prevalence and time of onset of ocular complications in intermediate uveitis (IU) and to assess their effects on visual outcome in short-term and long-term follow-up. : A retrospective cohort study of patients with IU who had a minimal follow-up of one year. : 96 patients (174 eyes, 70% females) were included with a mean age at presentation of 30 years.
