Article Synopsis
- - Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a serious eye condition characterized by inflammation and necrosis of the retina, which can result in severe visual impairment and high rates of retinal detachment, even with quick intervention.
- - Diagnosis of ARN can be complex and is aided by established clinical criteria and modern imaging techniques, including the use of AI, while advancements in PCR and flow cytometry have improved the identification of viral causes.
- - First-line treatments include systemic antivirals, such as high-dose valaciclovir or intravenous aciclovir, often in combination with intravitreal foscarnet, but ongoing research is essential to enhance treatment outcomes and prevent vision loss.
Impact of flight and equivalent short-term high-altitude exposure on ocular structures and function.

Background: Exposure to high-altitude conditions during flight or similar activities affects many aspects of visual function, which is critical not only for flight safety but for any altitude-related activity. We aimed to summarize the available literature pertaining to ocular changes during flight or equivalent short-term high-altitude exposure (e.g.

Methods: Patients with treatment naïve wAMD in one eye were prospectively enrolled. Flare levels were measured with laser flare photometry at baseline, 1 day and 1 month after each of the 3 monthly injections during the loading phase.
Cytokines in Immune-mediated "Non-infectious" Uveitis.
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd
December 2023
Uveitis is a significant cause of ocular morbidity and accounts for approximately 5 - 10% of visual impairments worldwide, particularly among the working-age population. Infections are the cause of ~ 50% cases of uveitis, but it has been suggested that infection might also be implicated in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated "non-infectious" uveitis. There is growing evidence that cytokines (i.
