Analysis of retinal alterations utilizing intraoperative OCT following surgical interventions with novel ILM forceps in the DISCOVER study.

This study aimed to assess retinal alterations following membrane peeling procedures using novel ILM Forceps with laser ablated surface with the help of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). A post-hoc analysis was performed to evaluate iOCT findings in eyes that underwent membrane peeling procedures with the novel ILM Forceps. Pre-peel and post-peel iOCT videos and images were evaluated for each eye to assess for post-peel anatomic alterations.

Erdafitinib-associated retinal alterations and rapid onset bilateral white cataracts.

Purpose: This report aims to highlight the wide spectrum of ophthalmic adverse events associated with erdafitinib, a fibroblast growth factor inhibitor that blocks activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPK/MEK) cascade. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of erdafitinib-associated bilateral outer retinal alterations in the MEK-associated retinopathy spectrum and rapid onset bilateral total cataracts following a 20-month course of erdafitinib therapy.

Observations: A 69 year old male with metastatic bladder cancer presented 47 days following treatment initiation with daily erdafitinib (8-mg) with mild new subretinal fluid and minimal associated subretinal debris in the left eye and accentuation/thickening of the interdigitation zone in the right eye.
