Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of combining both intravitreal Ziv-aflibercept and suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide using a custom-made needle in naïve and de novo central diabetic macular edema (DME) patients every eight weeks for 24 weeks.

Case Presentation: A 5-year-old Syrian female complains of stationary night blindness, investigated by fundus photo and optical coherence photograph and diagnosed as Oguchi disease.
Discussion: Oguchi disease is an autosomal recessive retinal disorder causing stationary nyctalopia.

Background: Diabetic patients suffers from reduction of vision that one of its main causes is clinically significant macular edema (CSME).The purpose of this study to determine if hybrid threshold can reduce macular thickness in Diabetic Macular Edema.
Materials And Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis single center cohort study.
Objective: Diabetic macular edema (DME), the most common cause of diabetes-related visual impairment, may occur following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) to manage proliferative diabetic retinopathy complications. This retrospective single-centre case series evaluated the efficacy and safety of injecting 4 mg/0.1 ml triamcinolone into the suprachoroidal space using a custom-made needle to treat DME post PPV.

Methods: This case report is an interventional case of a 52-year-old female presented with a four-week history of reduced vision secondary to Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME). The patient attended Marashi Eye Clinic Center for a clinical examination and followed up with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at baseline.
Purpose: To critically review data published in the recent past to scrutinize a causal relationship between retinal vascular occlusion and COVID-19.
Method: A comprehensive literature search was performed on Pubmed with the key words retinal vascular occlusion, retinal vein occlusion, retinal artery occlusion, and COVID-19.
Results: A total of 17 case reports were published during this period, and 10 were on retinal vein occlusion and 7 on retinal artery occlusion.
Background: Solar retinopathy is a disease that causes photochemical toxicity in the retinal fovea tissues, leading to an acute decrease of vision.
Case Presentation: This case report is an interventional case of an asymptomatic 17-year-old Caucasian female with a history of suddenly decreased vision due to solar retinopathy. The patient was managed with a custom-made needle injection of triamcinolone acetonide in the suprachoroidal space.
Purpose: To analyse the pooled safety data of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept (IVZ) therapy for various retinal conditions.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study which included patients from 14 participating centres who received IVZ. The medical records of patients who received IVZ from March 2015 through October 2017 were evaluated.
