We present the case of a middle-aged female Nigerian diagnosed to have right eye peripapillary polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). At presentation, her right eye Snellen visual acuity was 6/24+ (unaided) and 6/12 (aided) and the left eye was 6/9 (unaided) and 6/6 (aided). Fundus fluorescein angiography showed a hyperfluorescent peripapillary subretinal lesion associated with subretinal fluid demonstrated on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Establishing the normal range of central fovea values in our population provides vital baseline data for comparison.
Aim: To report the range of normal central fovea thickness measurements in eyes of healthy hospital patients in sub-Saharan Africa using a commercially available Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted through surveys and in-depth interviews, the research included 258 HCWs with varying demographics, revealing that only about 22% had regular access to PPE and even fewer had access to N-95 masks.
- * Key factors influencing PPE use included leadership quality and donations of PPE, while challenges consisted of limited supply and operational issues, indicating an urgent need for better access and adherence to infection control policies.
