Purpose: To study the choroidal thickness (CT) and central macular thickness (CMT) in post-fever retinitis (PFR) and their correlation with visual acuity and treatment.
Methods: A retrospective, observational study of patients presenting with PFR from 2013 to 2021 and with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) (Heidelberg®, SpectralisTM, Heidelberg, Germany) images were included. The CT and CMT were measured at presentation and at the final visit.
Background: Purtscher or Purtscher-like retinopathy is diagnosed by retinal hemorrhages and areas of retinal whitening on fundus examination, as well as a reduction in visual acuity due to microvascular occlusion of the precapillary retinal arterioles. We describe novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of internal limiting membrane (ILM) separation and posterior hyperreflective dots in a case of Purtscher-like retinopathy in this report.
Methods: A 33-year-old man with acute pancreatitis and alcohol-induced liver disease presented to the retina department complaining of four days of painless vision loss in both eyes.
Clinical Relevance: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency with a poor prognosis. Several initial CRAO presentation factors can influence the final visual outcome. Fluorescein angiography filling of retinal vessels in CRAO has not been studied in great detail.

Purpose: To describe the different types of vitreomacular interface abnormalities (VMIA) seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in type 2 macular telangiectasia (MacTel) and explain the possible reasons for its development.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, type 2 MacTel eyes with macular volumetric OCT imaging protocol were included to identify different types of VMIA such as abnormal PVD, vitreomacular traction (VMT), ERM, and lamellar and full-thickness macular hole. The VMIA findings were then correlated with different MacTel disease stages and visual acuity.
Purpose: To study right-angled vessels (RAV) in disease progression and macular neovascularization in type 2 macular telangiectasia (MacTel) eyes.
Methods: This retrospective image analysis study examined type 2 MacTel patients' multicolour® and OCT imaging records from January 2015 to March 2023. Age, gender, laterality, visual acuity, systemic disease, and follow-up duration were recorded.
Purpose: To describe a rare presentation of torpedo maculopathy (TM).
Case Description: A 25-year-old male was examined in the retina clinic for a macular scar in the left eye. His visual acuity was 20/20, N6 in both eyes and no past history of ocular trauma or any medical or ocular history.
Dry eye disease (DED) can lead to ocular discomfort as well as visual disturbances. Older adults are more likely to develop DED. They are also more likely to develop retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, which may require vitreoretinal surgeries, lasers, and intravitreal injections.

Methods: In this single-centre, retrospective, interventional, comparative study, DME patients were divided into two groups based on when they received treatment: Group 1 - received treatment within 24 weeks and Group 2 - at or after 24 weeks from the time of treatment advice. Visual acuity and central subfield thickness (CSFT) changes were compared at various time points.
Objective: To describe the ocular blood vessel arrangement in choroidal coloboma eyes.
Methods: In this retrospective, observational cross-sectional study, fundus images from 69 coloboma eyes of 45 patients were classified as per Ida Mann's classification. The arrangement and distribution of retinal, choroidal, and episcleral vessels, as well as vortex veins, were observed in non-colobomatous, colobomatous, and extra-colobomatous regions.
