The perception of the ambiguous image of #TheDress may be influenced by optical factors, such as macular pigments. Their accumulation during childhood could increase with age and the ingestion of carotenoid-containing foods. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the visual perception of the dress in children would differ based on age and carotenoid preference.

However, idiopathic vascularized ERMs (IVEM) are exceedingly rare, and their pathogenesis and clinical course remain poorly understood. This report aims to contribute to the limited literature on IVEM, shedding light on its characteristics and potential implications for patient management.

Background And Objective: Dome-shaped macula (DSM) and tilted disc syndrome (TDS) are two macular abnormalities that may occur in eyes with high myopia. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of both entities in our population.
Patients And Methods: This was a prospective and observational study.
Purpose: To describe the appearance of vitreous opacities using dynamic ultra-widefield infrared confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (IRcSLO).
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Eyes of patients complaining of myodesopsia were analyzed using dynamic ultra-widefield IRcSLO imaging (Nidek Mirante, Nidek Co.
Purpose: To report technique preferences for intravitreal injections among retina specialists in Mexico.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey. Ophthalmologists with a two-year retina training, active members of the Mexican Retina Association, were contacted through email to answer a survey consisting of 37 items regarding their IVI application technique.
Purpose: To describe a wide array of peripheral vascular changes using fluorescein angiography in preterm neonates, without high risk characteristics for developing retinopathy of prematurity, that were exposed to high oxygen concentration.
Methods: Retrospective, two center, case series. Newborns at two different hospitals with ≥1500 g or gestational age of ≥32 weeks, fluorescein angiography performed, and with high oxygen exposure without adequate control were included.
The purpose of this study was to review current perspectives on diagnosis and treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). We performed a systematic review of how much has been produced in research published online and on print regarding ROP in different settings around the world. Early Treatment for ROP (ETROP) classification is the currently accepted classification of ROP.

Methods: In this prospective, nonrandomized case series, fundus photographs and fluorescein angiography in patients diagnosed with stage 3 threshold or prethreshold ROP, were obtained immediately before and 1 month after injection of 0.03 cc (0.

Background And Objective: Macular anatomic abnormalities in high myopia are more frequent in the presence of posterior staphyloma. The objective was to determine the prevalence of foveoschisis, foveal detachment, vascular traction, epiretinal membrane (ERM), and macular hole (MH) in eyes with high myopia by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Patients And Methods: Prospective, observational study.
