Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare genetically heterogeneous inherited disorder with varied presentation. We report a case of FEVR with a classic tractional component and a rare co-occurrence of macular hole with subtotal retinal detachment. The diagnosis was made on clinical examination and imaging.

Background: Razumab™ (world's first biosimilar ranibizumab) is approved for several macular disorders including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We evaluated the safety and efficacy of biosimilar ranibizumab in wet AMD.

Methods: This prospective, multicentre, rAnibizumab bioSimilar Safety Efficacy postmarkeTing (ASSET) study enrolled patients aged ≥ 50 years with wet AMD having best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between 20/40 and 20/320.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of the offline smart phone-based Medios artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using non-mydriatic (NM) retinal images.

Methods: This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled 922 individuals with diabetes mellitus. NM retinal images (disc and macula centered) from each eye were captured using the Remidio NM fundus-on-phone (FOP) camera.

Purpose: An observational study to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Medios smartphone-based offline deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) software to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR) compared with the image diagnosis of ophthalmologists.

Methods: Patients attending the outpatient services of a tertiary center for diabetes care underwent 3-field dilated retinal imaging using the Remidio NM FOP 10. Two fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialists separately graded anonymized images and a patient-level diagnosis was reached based on grading of the worse eye.

A 58-year-old man, a known diabetic and hypertensive for 5 years was presented to us with a drop in reading vision in both eyes of 2 months duration. His best-corrected visual acuity was 6/24, N36 in both eyes. Fundus findings revealed moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy with bilateral diffuse macular oedema.

Background/purpose: To report characteristics and treatment outcome of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in central serous chorioretinopathy.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 12 eyes of 12 patients, who were diagnosed to have CNV secondary to laser photocoagulation or PDT for central serous chorioretinopathy. Collected data included demographic details, history of presenting illness, clinical examination details including visual acuity at presentation, and follow-up with imaging and treatment details.

Bilateral occurrence of macular hole in X-linked retinoschisis is an extremely rare event. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings revealed that formation of a macular hole is secondary to the retinoschisis process alone. Bilateral macular holes should be added to the spectrum of X-linked retinoschisis variations and the retinoschisis process alone should be accounted for their formation.
