- - Striae distensae is a common skin condition, starting as reddish lines (striae rubra) that turn silvery-white (stria alba) over time and can occasionally lead to rare complications like bullous striae distensae.
- - The case of a 17-year-old female with nephrotic syndrome highlighted the development of abdominal fluid-filled lesions after long-term systemic glucocorticoid use, where physical exams showed translucent bullae over stretch marks.

Purpose: Phakic intraocular lenses treat higher degrees of myopia not possible previously with conventional refractive surgery. The aim of this study is to report the incidence and risk factors of retinal complications after posterior chamber PIOL implantation and assess the differences in biometric parameters between patients who developed such complications versus those who did not.
Methods: This retrospective study recruited 514 patients who underwent ICL implantation to correct myopia at a tertiary eye hospital center in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia.
