Macular dystrophies (MDs) constitute a collection of hereditary retina disorders leading to notable visual impairment, primarily due to progressive macular atrophy. These conditions are distinguished by bilateral and relatively symmetrical abnormalities in the macula that significantly impair central visual function. Recent strides in fundus imaging, especially optical coherence tomography (OCT), have enhanced our comprehension and diagnostic capabilities for MD.

- * A 20-year-old woman with HbC disease experienced serious vision loss in her right eye due to a condition called retinal detachment, while her left eye seemed fine at first.
- * Doctors found that HbC disease can affect eyesight, similar to another condition called sickle cell retinopathy, so patients need regular eye check-ups to catch problems early.
Geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration is a common cause of blindness worldwide. Given the recent approval of the first therapy for GA, pegcetacoplan, we critically appraise methodological aspects of the phase 3 clinical trials published so far in this disease in relation to their design, analysis and interpretation. We reviewed some of the key attributes of all phase 3 clinical trials in GA available in the main public registry of clinical trials as of 20 May 2023.

- The study examined the prevalence of silicone droplets in the vitreous of patients after receiving different anti-VEGF intravitreal injections.
- Out of 152 eyes studied, 71.7% had silicone droplets, with a notable correlation between the number of injections and the quantity of droplets, especially with aflibercept.
- Despite a high number of patients reporting floaters (39.5%), the overall impact on symptomatology and intraocular pressure (IOP) was minimal.
Objective: This study aims to analyse the possible recovery or worsening in retinal microvasculature after 8 months in a previously studied COVID-19 cohort.
Methods And Analysis: A cross-sectional case-control study and a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Participants were the subjects of our previous study who re-enrolled for a new examination including a fundus photograph (retinography), an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan and an OCT angiography.
