Purpose: In 2012, four patients with multiple asymptomatic, indolent, unilateral, choroidal lesions were described. We suspected benign-behaving lymphocytes infiltrating the choroid. This article expands the number of patients and duration of follow-up and speculates further on the etiology.

Methods: Four healthy patients were referred to an academic medical retina practice for unusual fundus findings in one eye only. Both eyes of all four patients underwent clinical examination and retinal imaging, including fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green imaging, and optical coherence tomography.
Purpose: To describe three unusual clinical cases of patients who were diagnosed with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome at the onset of their disease but lacked the characteristic white dots on clinical examination, autofluorescence, and angiographic testing at any time during their follow-up.
Methods: Three eyes of three patients with clinical symptoms of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome seen at an academic clinical practice were included. Retinal imaging, including fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green imaging, fundus autofluorescence, and optical coherence tomography, was used to further characterize and describe the clinical findings.
Purpose: To review the current management and pharmacologic treatment of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema.
Methods: Systematic review of currently accepted treatment modalities for pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. Main outcome measures include visual acuity and retinal thickness measurement by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics, interventions, and visual outcomes of orbital injuries associated with wooden foreign bodies.
Methods: A retrospective case review of orbital injuries managed at Wills Eye Institute and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary was conducted between 1992 and 2006.
Results: The clinical course and management for a total of 23 intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries were reviewed.
Purpose: To evaluate a screening protocol for detection of individuals with a higher risk of chronic open angle glaucoma for which a complete glaucoma evaluation is indicated.
Patients And Methods: African Americans over 40 years of age in New Haven, CT. In the screening phase, volunteers filled out a questionnaire and underwent measurements of visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP) with a Tono-Pen and visual field with Frequency Doubling Technology.
Purpose: To evaluate variables associated with failure to access free eye care after participating in glaucoma screening.
Design: Review of responses to a survey completed by participants during glaucoma screening.
Participants: Two hundred seventy-three surveys completed by participants of African descent during screening.
