Background/objectives: To analyze the ophthalmic characteristics of congenital prepapillary vascular loop (PVL) and to propose a new morphologic classification dividing the loops into six types.
Subjects/methods: Collaborative multinational multicentre retrospective study of PVL cases.
Results: There was a total of 49 cases (61 eyes), 37 unilateral (75.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of ophthalmoplegia in diabetic patients using data from the Saudi National Diabetes Registry, analyzing over 64,000 cases.
- The overall prevalence of ophthalmoplegia was found to be 0.32%, primarily affecting type 2 diabetic males, with cranial nerve VI being the most commonly affected.
- Significant risk factors for developing ophthalmoplegia include being male, aged 45 or older, having diabetes for 10 years or more, and the presence of other complications like retinopathy and nephropathy.
Background: Kidney failure provoked by glomerulosclerosis leads to fluid filtration deficits and other disorders of kidney function. Refractory diabetic macular edema (DME) can be another warning sign of glomerulosclerosis in diabetic patients.
Case: A 40-year-old Saudi male presented with macular edema that was refractory to all possible medical and surgical ophthalmic interventions in both eyes.
Purpose: To evaluate a haptic-based simulator, MicroVisTouch™, as an assessment tool for capsulorhexis performance in cataract surgery. The study is a prospective, unmasked, nonrandomized dual academic institution study conducted at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Medical Center (Baltimore, MD, USA) and King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia).
Methods: This prospective study evaluated capsulorhexis simulator performance in 78 ophthalmology residents in the US and Saudi Arabia in the first round of testing and 40 residents in a second round for follow-up.
Purpose. To identify and study causes of vitreous hemorrhage (VH) in pediatric age group and to investigate factors predicting visual and anatomical outcomes. Procedure.

Patients And Methods: Seventeen eyes of 15 consecutive patients diagnosed with PCV based on typical clinical and angiographic findings were imaged with macular SD-OCT including line scans passing through the polyps.
Results: SD-OCT findings included typical and atypical retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachments and subretinal and intraretinal fluid in all eyes.
