Bilateral Ampiginous Choroiditis following Presumed SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral ampiginous choroiditis following presumed SARS-CoV-2 infection. . A 25-year-old woman presented with metamorphopsia and a paracentral scotoma in her left eye.

A Case of Bilateral Multifocal Choroiditis Associated with BRAF/MEK Inhibitor Use for Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma.

Purpose: To report a case of BRAF/MEK inhibitor-associated multifocal choroiditis that recurred after medication re-exposure and resolved after discontinuing BRAF/MEK inhibition and administering local steroid therapy.

Case Report: A 32-year-old woman with metastatic cutaneous melanoma on dabrafenib/trametinib presented with bilateral anterior uveitis and new bilateral multifocal chorioretinal scars. The anterior uveitis resolved after a course of topical steroids.

RARE CASE OF ABIOTROPHIA DEFECTIVA BLEB-ASSOCIATED ENDOPHTHALMITIS.

Purpose: To report a rare case of Abiotrophia defectiva bleb-associated endophthalmitis.

Methods: In this case report of a patient with bleb-associated endophthalmitis, the authors describe the features of severe and rapid onset, associated retinitis, and a favorable outcome after aggressive early intervention.

Results: A 75-year-old woman presented decreased visual acuity of hand motions with an elevated intraocular pressure of 39 mmHg in the left eye.

Retinal Capillary Nonperfusion on OCT-Angiography and Its Relationship to Kidney Function in Patients with Diabetes.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy and kidney disease share underlying mechanisms of microvascular damage and are often comorbid in people with diabetes. We evaluated whether there is a relationship between retinal capillary perfusion as measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Method: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted at the University of Washington among a subset of participants with diabetes and CKD participating in a larger cohort study.

Outcomes of sutureless secondary intraocular lens fixation with haptic flanging in a cohort of surgically complex eyes.

Purpose: To describe clinical outcomes of secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using sutureless trans-scleral techniques in surgically complex eyes.

Methods: Retrospective surgical case series of 45 eyes that underwent secondary IOL implantation using a sutureless haptic flange technique. Demographic data of age, sex, primary diagnosis, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive error, intraocular pressure, full ophthalmic exam findings, surgical approach, and any intraoperative complications were noted.

Terminal QRS Distortion in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction as a Prediction of Mortality: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Terminal QRS distortion reflects advanced stage and large myocardial infarction predisposing the heart to adverse outcomes. Recent studies suggest that terminal QRS distortion is associated with morbidity and mortality in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature have not been done.

Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Retinal Vessel Occlusion and Its Association: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

: Recent studies have shown that atrial fibrillation (AF) is more prevalent in patients with retinal vessel occlusion and may be associated with both central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). However, there is no systematic review and meta-analysis to confirm this finding.: We searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to January 2019.

Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in Highly Myopic Eyes with Elongated Axial Length.

Purpose: To retrospectively review the prevalence of myopia and elongated axial length in eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and to evaluate treatment response of PCV in highly myopic eyes. PCV has rarely been reported in myopic eyes.

Methods: A retrospective review of all eyes diagnosed with PCV at the clinics of Retina Consultants of Hawaii and the Hawaii Macula and Retina Institute was performed between February of 2007 and April of 2017 to evaluate for eyes with significant myopia and elongated axial length.
