Posterior scleritis is an underdiagnosed condition due to its rarity and is frequently misdiagnosed due to its varied presentation.1 Therefore, it is imperative to know that it can present clinically as exudative retinal detachment, proptosis, disc oedema, choroidal folds, subretinal mass, and myositis. We report a case of 48-year female who presented with gradual, progressive loss of vision in left eye.

This paper presents a dataset that contains 100 high quality fundus images which are acquired from Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology (AFIO), Rawalpindi Pakistan. The dataset has been marked by four expert ophthalmologists to aid clinicians and researchers in screening hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy and papilledema cases. Moreover, it contains highly detailed annotations for retinal blood vascular patterns, arteries and veins to calculate arteriovenous ratio (AVR), optic nerve head (ONH) region and other retinal anomalies such as hard exudates and cotton wool spots etc.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the safety of accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in keratoconus patients on basis of endothelial cell density measurements.

Methods: We studied 24 patients (42 eyes) with diagnosed keratoconus who underwent accelerated CXL with 9 Mw/cm2 UVA irradiance for 10minutes. All patients underwent detailed examination and video keratography (VKG) for classification and confirmation of keratoconus.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease of autoimmunity with variable and diverse clinical presentations. The target tissue is neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles, where efficient nerve impulse transmission is hampered leading to less effective muscle contraction. Patients of MG usually present with bilateral ptosis, diplopia and fatigability, which may or may not coexist with generalised weakness, dysphagia and dysarthria.

Glaucoma is a chronic disease often called "silent thief of sight" as it has no symptoms and if not detected at an early stage it may cause permanent blindness. Glaucoma progression precedes some structural changes in the retina which aid ophthalmologists to detect glaucoma at an early stage and stop its progression. Fundoscopy is among one of the biomedical imaging techniques to analyze the internal structure of retina.
