Macular thickness variation and interocular symmetry by gestational age in preterm school-age children.

Purpose: To determine changes in macular thickness profile according to gestational age (GA) and to assess interocular symmetry in the macula of children born very preterm.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study of preterm (n = 106) and term-born (n = 49) children 5-8 years of age at time of examination, optical coherence tomography was used to measure macula thickness as described in the ETDRS study. Statistical analyses included stratified and multivariable analyses.

Herpetic ocular manifestations in a patient with GATA2 deficiency.

Specific genetic deficiencies are a rare cause that should be included in the diagnostic algorithm of disseminated herpetic lesions. The aim of this article is to describe the ocular herpetic manifestations in a rare genetic disorder called GATA2 deficiency. We present the clinical case of a 26-year-old male with dendritic ulcers in his cornea, marrow aplasia and idiopathic chronic lymphedema.
