Toward earlier detection of choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration: multicenter evaluation of a preferential hyperacuity perimeter designed as a home device.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a home device preferential hyperacuity perimeter to discriminate between patients with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and the secondary purpose was to investigate the dependence of sensitivity on lesion characteristics.

Methods: All participants were tested with the home device in an unsupervised mode. The first part of this work was retrospective using tests performed by patients with intermediate AMD and newly diagnosed CNV.

Acute idiopathic multifocal hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis with transient profound visual loss.

Background: Acute idiopathic multifocal hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis is a rare entity. The diagnosis is based on typical fundus findings following exclusion of other more common conditions with similar features. The authors present a case that outlines their approach to diagnosis and management of a patient with simultaneous bilateral presentation.

Anterior ischemia after posterior segment surgery.

Anterior segment ischemia is a rare complication of posterior segment surgery with a broad spectrum of presentations. Most frequently, it follows a mild self-limited course. Cases that are more prominent usually result from a co-incidence of precipitating factors.
