Context: Retinal microperimetry (MPR) is a non-invasive method that measures retinal light sensitivity (RS) and gaze fixation stability (GFS). MPR has been described as a marker of cognitive impairment in people with Type 2 diabetes, but it has never been assessed in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our group described subclinical cognitive alterations, structural brain differences, and increased levels of light chain neurofilament (NfL) in people with T1D and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia.

Purpose: To present an orbital extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma) with increased choroidal thickness as the first diagnostic sign.

Methods: A patient presented with mild blurred vision in the left eye. Progressively increased choroidal thickness was demonstrated by enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography and ocular ultrasound-confirmed diffuse choroidal effusion.

Familial amyloid polyneuropathy is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease. Optic nerve involvement is frequently observed secondary to uncontrolled glaucoma but, rarely, an ischaemic optic neuropathy can occur. In this case report we describe a patient who presented with bilateral progressive visual loss and constriction of his visual fields.

Classical clinical findings of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) include multiple, small white dots scattered throughout the posterior pole, foveal granularity, posterior vitreous cells, and mild optic disc swelling. We describe the case of a 35-year-old man who was admitted to our department with an unusual presentation of MEWDS at the early onset of the disease. A unilateral circumpapillary retinal white spot was observed.

Background: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, known as DRESS syndrome, is a rare drug induced hypersensitivity reaction syndrome.

Methods: case resport.

Results: We describe a patient who presented with acute erythematous rash on her face, fever>38ºC, lymphadenopathy, blood abnormalities, and reaction suspected to be amoxicillin clavulanate-related.

Purpose: To assess the performance of deep learning algorithms for different tasks in retinal fundus images: (1) detection of retinal fundus images versus optical coherence tomography (OCT) or other images, (2) evaluation of good quality retinal fundus images, (3) distinction between right eye (OD) and left eye (OS) retinal fundus images,(4) detection of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and (5) detection of referable glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON).

Patients And Methods: Five algorithms were designed. Retrospective study from a database of 306,302 images, Optretina's tagged dataset.
