Purpose: To the best of our knowledge, implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based vision screening in community health fair settings has not been previously studied. This prospective cohort study explored the incorporation of AI in a community health fair setting to improve access to eyecare.
Methods: Vision screening was implemented during a community health fair event using an AI-based non-mydriatic fundus camera.
Introduction: The dexamethasone (DEX) implant is an FDA approved treatment for diabetic macular edema, non-infectious posterior uveitis, and macular edema secondary to branch or central retinal vein occlusions. We describe a case of anterior chamber (AC) migration of a DEX implant in a patient with a history of congenital glaucoma and perform a review of the literature on this particular complication, summarizing the common risk factors, subsequent complications, and management options.
Case Description: A 46-year-old female with a history of congenital glaucoma, status post cataract extraction with insertion of intraocular lens, pars plana vitrectomy, and Baerveldt tube implant in the left eye was referred for post-operative cystoid macular edema (CME).
Purpose: To report a case of acute retinal necrosis in a patient on anti-tumor necrosis factor α immunosuppressive therapy.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 47-year-old man with psoriasis presented with blurred vision and floaters in the left eye 4 days after receiving his fourth dose of adalimumab, a tumor necrosis factor α antagonist.
Background/purpose: Postmarket analysis helps identify potentially important side effects not discovered during clinical trials. Ocriplasmin is a recently approved medication administered by intravitreal injection for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion and macular hole. Overall, clinical trials of ocriplasmin have shown a relatively high safety profile.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.
Participants: Seventeen patients with decreased visual acuity after RD repair.
Purpose: To determine whether laser treatment applied according to the complications of age-related macular degeneration prevention trial (CAPT) has an effect on the choroidal circulation.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: This study included 30 CAPT patients with bilateral drusen.
Purpose: We studied the choroidal circulation in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) to assess whether choroidal hemodynamic abnormalities may exist in PDR.
Methods: Eighteen eyes of 18 patients with PDR and high-risk characteristics for visual loss were included in this study. Mean duration of diabetes was 20 +/- 9 years (mean +/- SD), hemoglobin A1c was 8.
Purpose: To report the case of a 58-year-old man with sequential bilateral retrolaminar leukemic infiltration of the optic nerves who presented with normal-appearing optic nerves and no optic nerve enhancement.
Design: Interventional case report.
Methods: A 58-year-old man with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) developed progressive vision loss to no light perception in both eyes over four days.
Purpose: To describe a 71-year-old man with bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma with metastases to the choroid.
Design: Interventional case report.
Methods: A 71-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in his left eye secondary to an exudative retinal detachment.
