Article Synopsis
- Terson's syndrome (TS) is an eye condition linked to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that can cause vision problems, but its details are not well understood.
- A 52-year-old man who had a severe headache and SAH developed TS three weeks later, resulting in blurred vision, and required successful surgical treatment.
- This case highlights the need for increased awareness among medical professionals about TS as a potential complication of SAH, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for better outcomes.
Significance: Functional vision, as evaluated with silent passage reading speed, improves after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in patients with wet age-related macular antidegeneration (wAMD), reflecting primarily a concomitant reduction in the number of fixations. Implementing eye movement analysis when reading may better characterize the effectiveness of therapeutic approaches in wAMD.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate silent reading performance by means of eye fixation analysis before and after anti-VEGF treatment in wAMD patients.

Purpose: Visual function is a complex process in which external visual stimuli are interpreted. Patients with retinal diseases and prolonged follow-up times may experience changes in their visual function that are not detected by the standard visual acuity measure, as they are a result of other alterations in visual function. With the advancement of different methods to evaluate visual function, additional measurements have become available, and further standardization suggests that some methods may be promising for use in clinical trials or routine clinical practice.

Methods: Electrophysiological responses to a flash stimulus were recorded using full-field electroretinography (ERG) and visual evoked potentials (VEP).
Clinical Relevance: Reading performance in clinical practice is commonly evaluated by reading 'aloud' and 'as fast as possible' single sentences. Assessing comprehensive silent reading performance using passages, composed of multiple sentences, is the preferred reading mode in real-life reading conditions.
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare eye movement-based silent reading performance for standardised short sentences and paragraphs.
