Purpose: To describe the findings seen on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP) complicated by choroidal neovascular membranes.

Methods: This was an Institutional Review Board-approved prospective, descriptive case series. 12 patients with PIC and MCP complicated by choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) were included.

Purpose: To report five cases of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) that reactivated in the same eye or presented in the contralateral eye between two and nineteen years after the initial episode of acute retinal necrosis.

Cases: Five patients with a previous history of ARN developed recurrent ARN infection following a lengthy latency period. In all five patients who initially presented with unilateral disease, four developed infection in the contralateral eye and one developed recurrent infection in the ipsilateral eye.

A 74-year-old female with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy presented with a new lesion suspicious for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in her right eye. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) confirmed the presence of CNV. OCTA is a new imaging technique that may help guide diagnosis and management of choroidal neovascular membranes in uveitic diseases.

The purpose of the study was to describe the findings seen on anterior segment spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with anterior scleritis and determine the feasibility of using SD-OCT to image and grade the degree of scleral inflammation and monitor response to treatment. All patients underwent slit lamp examination by a uveitis specialist, and the degree of scleral inflammation was recorded. Spectral domain OCT imaging was then performed of the conjunctiva and scleral tissue using a standardized acquisition protocol.

Background: Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis. In the limited number of reported Listeria endophthalmitis cases, visual acuity outcomes have been very poor.

Findings: Here, we report a case of Listeria endophthalmitis that was complicated by recurrent inflammation.

Aims: To assess prevalence and characteristics of hyporeflective preretinal tissue on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) in eyes with vitreomacular interface disorders.

Methods: 4037 eyes (3195 patients) with diagnosis of lamellar macular hole (LMH), full-thickness macular hole (FTMH), epiretinal membrane (ERM) and vitreomacular traction were included. Quantitative analysis was performed including volume and area of the epiretinal proliferation, as well as the brightness of the hyporeflective band.

Aim: To describe the results of 5 consecutive cases of clear lens extraction in angle closure patients for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

Methods: Retrospective observational case series. All angle closure patients were on two or more topical glaucoma medications and had prior laser iridotomy.
