Accelerated progression of diabetic retinopathy following severe COVID-19 infection.

Purpose: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pre-existing retinal pathology is currently unknown.

Observations: We present a unique case of rapidly progressing diabetic retinopathy (DR) following severe COVID-19 infection requiring supplemental oxygen and subsequent long-COVID.

Conclusions And Importance: Following infection with SARS-CoV-2, the associated acute and possible long-term hypoxia has the potential to affect the retina and accelerate the natural course of diabetic retinopathy.

VITREORETINAL ABNORMALITIES DURING MACULAR HOLE REPAIR IN ALPORT SYNDROME.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe abnormal vitreoretinal findings during macular hole repair in Alport syndrome.

Methods: A case report of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative findings related to macular hole surgery in a patient with Alport syndrome was discussed.

Results: A 50-year-old woman with Alport syndrome was found to have bilateral full-thickness macular holes.

Characterizing the Accessibility and Content of Surgical and Medical Retina Fellowship Program Websites.

To assess the accessibility and content of surgical and medical retina fellowship websites. The websites of all surgical and medical retina fellowship programs were examined. Each program's website was evaluated based on information available on 10 recruitment and 10 training criteria.

Effect of full-time vs volunteer faculty supervision on resident cataract surgery complications.

Purpose: To examine the effect of teaching experience of supervising surgeons on resident cataract surgery intraoperative complication rates.

Setting: Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, University of California San Francisco, USA.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Glass intraocular foreign body removal with a nitinol stone basket.

Purpose: Glass intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) complicate up to 14% of all IOFB cases and require specialized instruments for removal. We present a case of ocular trauma with two large glass IOFBs removed using a nitinol stone basket (NSB) designed for kidney stone extraction in the ureter and calyces.

Observations: An adult male suffered a restrained motor vehicle accident.

APPLICATION OF ADJUNCTIVE TOPICAL MITOMYCIN-C IN SCLEROSTOMY REVISION FOR REFRACTORY IDIOPATHIC UVEAL EFFUSION SYNDROME.

Background/purpose: To describe the use of topical mitomycin-C in sclerostomy revision for recalcitrant idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome.

Methods: A 50-year-old healthy man presented with painless, gradual vision loss in the right eye. He underwent multimodal retinal imaging with wide-field fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and B-scan and A-scan ultrasonography.

CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION WITH CILIORETINAL ARTERY SPARING AFTER LASER-ASSISTED IN SITU KERATOMILEUSIS.

Purpose: To report a central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal artery sparing in a 48-year-old woman after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis surgery.

Methods: Case history and clinical examination including best-corrected visual acuity, serum markers, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography.

Results: A 48-year-old woman underwent routine laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis surgery in both eyes.
