Background: Retinitis punctata albescens is a form of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by white fleck-like deposits in the fundus, in most cases caused by pathogenic variants in gene. The purpose of this work is to report the phenotypic and genotypic data of a patient with retinitis punctata albescens carrying a deletion in the gene.
Results: An 8-year-old Caucasian female has been complaining of nyctalopia for the last 2 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective the "fogging test" with a +2 diopters lens is in identifying significant hyperopia (farsightedness) in children aged 5 to 11 years.
- Results showed the test is very accurate for detecting hyperopia of ≥+2 D, achieving 100% sensitivity, though it was less effective for ≥+1.5 D hyperopia.
- The findings suggest that a visual acuity cutoff of ≥5/10 can be used to potentially exclude significant hyperopia in some children, but for those with ≥5/10 visual acuity, further testing (cycloplegic refraction) is necessary.
Objectives: To study the microbial profile, antibiotic susceptibility pattern, risk factors, therapeutic trends, and clinical outcomes for microbial keratitis (MK) in a tertiary health care center.
Methods: All cases with suspected bacterial keratitis that were followed at consultation from September 2007 to August 2015 were included. Microbial cultures were obtained and patients were managed following an internal protocol.
Purpose. To characterize vitelliform lesions (VLs) in adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AOFVD) and acquired vitelliform (AVL) patients using multimodal image analysis. Methods.
