Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety profile of fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) implants for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis (NIU).

Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, involving patients who received FAc 0.19 mg implants (Iluvien®) for NIU.

Purpose: To present the observation of multifocal evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS)-like phenotypes developing in association with the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a series of patients.

Methods: Patients presenting to tertiary-care centers with MEWDS-like phenotypes and CNV were identified.

Results: Five patients presented for the management of CNV in the context of previous diagnoses of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and/or myopia.

Purpose: To report a case of exuberant anterior chamber inflammation post partial removal of supramid® stent.

Methods: Case report.

Results: The sudden intraocular pressure drop induced by partial removal of ripcord suture from a glaucoma drainage device can result in blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barrier breakdown, inducing uveitis.

Aims: To report the mean change in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and reading performance (reading acuity and maximum reading speed (MRS) using the MNREAD test) between baseline and 24 months in treatment-naïve patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections.

Methods: A prospective, open-label, interventional non-randomised case series with 24 months' duration. Patients were recruited to the study from medical retina clinics at Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Introduction: To report the 52-week treatment outcomes with intravitreal injections of aflibercept using a treat-and-extend regimen for treating macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients newly diagnosed with CRVO was performed. Patients receiving aflibercept between 1 December 2016 and 31 March 2017 were included in the analysis.

Background: To evaluate the contribution made to the diagnostic work-up for patients with suspected ocular tuberculosis (TB) by QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) tests using latent class analysis model.

Methods: A single centre retrospective cohort study. A Bayesian latent class model was constructed on the basis of demographics, phenotypes and test results from patients attending a tertiary referral center in the UK.

Purpose: Describe the clinical features and outcomes of patients with peripheral retinal vasculitis (RV) and describe clinical characteristics of presumed tubercular RV in a nonendemic setting.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 110 consecutive patients with peripheral RV at a tertiary referral eye care center in the United Kingdom. Retinal vasculitis was defined as RV with vitritis associated with peripheral retinal ischemia.

Objective: To describe the clinical spectrum and outcome of patients with presumed tubercular uveitis and choroidal involvement.

Methods: A retrospective case series nested in a cohort study was enrolled at a tertiary referral eye care center in the UK. Failure was defined as recurrence of lesion within 6 months of completion of antitubercular therapy (ATT) or corticosteroid therapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical utility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and to systematically compare OCTA images with changes seen on color fundus photography and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Design: Reliability analysis.

Methods: Eighty-one eyes of 76 patients with a history of RVO (branch, central, or hemicentral), both acute and chronic, underwent OCTA and color fundus photography.

Background: Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis is a well-known immunologic cutaneous reaction. There are few case reports of ocular leishmaniasis. It is a sight-threatening condition that needs to be rapidly recognized and treated to avoid permanent visual loss.

Aim: To assess the impact of antitubercular therapy (ATT), oral steroids and steroid sparing immunosuppressive treatment on treatment success in cases with presumed ocular tuberculosis in an area of low endemic prevalence.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed for 213 patients with presumed ocular tuberculosis from a database from a tertiary referral eye hospital in the UK. A logistic regression model was constructed incorporating demographics, baseline characteristics and different cut-offs of QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-G) to identify significant factors accounting for the variability of the response variable ('failure') across the whole group.

Background: Acute maculopathy is a rare condition of unknown aetiology and Coxsackie virus is known to be associated with this macular chorioretinitis.

Findings: We report a case of acute unilateral maculopathy in a 35-year-old woman with concurrent hand foot and mouth disease. Furthermore, we display multimodal imaging (colour fundus photographs, autofluorescence, spectral domain ocular coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography) charting the course of the disease.

Objective: To analyze the factors affecting the treatment outcome in patients with presumed ocular tuberculosis on anti-tubercular therapy (ATT).

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with presumed ocular tuberculosis seen at a tertiary referral eye care center in the United Kingdom. Failure was defined as recurrence of inflammation within 6 months of completion of ATT.

Purpose: To report two cases of desegmentation or fracture of the Ozurdex implant observed immediately after routine intravitreal implantation for macular oedema.

Patients: In two patients receiving intravitreal Ozurdex implant injection, a rare complication of fracture of implant was noted immediately after the injection. No additional complication was noted in either of the patients.

Aim: To report a case of optic neuropathy secondary to Linezolid, second line anti tuberculosis agent.

Case Report: 22 year Indian male with multidrug resistant spinal tuberculosis and TB meningitis was started on second line anti tuberculosis drugs. Within one month of onset of second line anti TB drug, he was noted to have optic neuropathy in both eyes.
