Introduction: Congenital X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) presents as macular retinoschisis/degeneration in almost all patients and as peripheral retinoschisis in half the patients. Although the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of macular retinoschisis have been well investigated, those of peripheral retinoschisis have rarely been reported. This study aimed to report the ultra-widefield OCT findings of the peripheral retina in patients with XLRS.

- A case study reported the successful use of adalimumab to treat bilateral retinal vasculitis in a patient with SAPHO syndrome, characterized by joint and skin symptoms.
- A 48-year-old woman experienced blurred vision due to retinal issues that did not improve with steroid eye drops, leading to the diagnosis of bilateral intermediate uveitis.
- After five months of adalimumab treatment, both her inflammatory markers and retinal condition showed significant improvement, marking a novel use for this medication in her specific syndrome.
This study evaluated the long-term visual outcomes of patients in whom at least one eye underwent successful lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) for stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A retrospective chart review was conducted using the data of 61 eyes of 42 patients with a minimum 4-year follow-up after successful LSV, with or without anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, and whose best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measurable using Landolt rings at the final visit. The mean age at the final follow-up was 10.
