Purpose: To analyse fundus autofluorescence (AF) changes in retinal reattachment following primary scleral buckling (SB) surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: Prospective noninterventional chart review study. AF images were reviewed for peripheral and central changes and compared to clinical and OCT findings.
Purpose: Retinoschisis (RS), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and combined RS retinal detachment (RSRD) may resemble clinically and pose a diagnostic challenge. This study investigates the role of the fundus autofluorescence (AF) in differentiating RS, RRD and RSRD.
Methods: Fundus AF changes of 34 eyes diagnosed with RRD, 30 eyes with RS and 12 eyes with RSRD were retrospectively analysed.
Background: CAPOS (erebellar ataxia, reflexia, es cavus, ptic atrophy and ensorineural hearing loss) syndrome is caused by the heterozygous mutation, c.2452G > A, in the gene. Other mutations in this gene can cause a spectrum of overlapping phenotypes including alternating hemiplegia of childhood, rapid onset dystonia parkinsonism, early infantile epileptic encephalopathy and fever induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy.

The symptoms of LSCD may include irritation, epiphora, blepharospasms, photophobia, pain, and decreased vision. There are a number of treatment options, ranging from nonsurgical treatments for mild LSCD to various forms of surgery that involve different cell types cultured on various substrates.

Methods: Case report of a myopic patient presenting initially with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. A significant portion of the retina was found to be avascular bilaterally at presentation.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying activation of cell death pathways using genome-wide transcriptional analysis in human limbal epithelial cell (HLEC) cultures following conventional hypothermic storage in Optisol-GS. Three-week HLEC cultures were stored in Optisol-GS for 2, 4, and 7 days at 4 °C. Partek Genomics Suite software v.

Methods: Retrospective comparative case series study of six patients with ODM and a comparing group of four patients with juxtapapillary choroidal nevus (JCN) and four with juxtapapillary uveal melanoma (JUM).
Purpose: To investigate the use of ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence imaging in the early postoperative evaluation of scleral buckling surgery for retinal detachment.
Methods: Forty-five eyes from 44 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included. Ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence imaging (Optomap P200Tx) was performed from both eyes preoperatively and early (1-2 days) postoperatively.
Purpose: We present a rare case of ocular leishmaniasis complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy in a child with active visceral leishmaniasis.
Methods: A 10-year-old boy with active visceral leishmaniasis presented with a 5- day history of redness, photophobia, and blurred vision in his left eye. Visual acuity was measured and the child had a complete ocular examination.
