The Impact of COVID-19 on US and International Retina Specialists, Their Practices, and Their Patients.

Purpose: This work analyzes data from a series of surveys developed by the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) that assesses the impact of COVID-19 on physicians, their practices, and their patients.

Methods: Five surveys were sent by the ASRS between March and July 2020 to more than 2600 US and international retina specialists. Data and trends from these surveys were analyzed.

Torpedo-like lesions in the ocular fundi of Gardner syndrome: hiding in plain view.

The coexistence of fundus torpedoes and Gardner syndrome was initially reported in 1989 and 1992 by Gass and Roseman. Gardner syndrome is a dominantly inherited disease characterized by a multitude of potentially lethal gastrointestinal polyps. Over the ensuing quarter century, several publications demonstrated uncommon, but easily recognized, fundus lesions called Torpedo Maculopathy in apparently normal individuals.

Ocular Histopathology and Immunohistochemical Analysis in the Oldest Known Individual with Autosomal Dominant Vitreoretinochoroidopathy.

Purpose: To assess the immunohistochemical and histopathological changes in a subject with Autosomal Dominant Vitreoretinochoroidopathy (ADVIRC).

Design: Case study.

Participant: Ninety two year-old Caucasian male with ADVIRC.

Long-Term Macular Changes in the First Proband of Autosomal Dominant Vitreoretinochoroidopathy (ADVIRC) Due to a Newly Identified Mutation in BEST1.

Background: Mutations in BEST1 account for autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy (ADVIRC), a rare inherited retinal dystrophy with presenile cataracts and incomplete anterior segment development. The long-term clinical findings and visual prognosis of these patients continues to evolve over time.

Materials And Methods: The retina was assessed by fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
