To describe a case of lipemia retinalis, a rare ocular manifestation of hypertriglyceridemia that is characterized by a creamy-white to salmon-colored appearance to the fundus. A 55-year-old man was referred for an evaluation for diabetic retinopathy and was subsequently found to have marked lipemia retinalis. The patient's triglyceride levels were 3141 mg/dL; therefore, treatment was initiated with high-intensity statin therapy and lifestyle modifications.

Methods: This retrospective consecutive case series reviewed both ophthalmologic and pediatric medical records to determine ocular and neurologic function following treatment with a single injection of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for APROP. Patient records were reviewed to identify the gestational age, average birth weight, gender, post-menstrual age (PMA) at the time of injection, regression status, rescue therapy events, final visual acuity, final refraction, ophthalmologic diagnoses and complications, neurologic diagnoses, and duration of follow up.
Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of less dense panretinal photocoagulation after intravitreal bevacizumab in aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity infants.
Methods: Retrospective consecutive case series of premature infants diagnosed with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity between August 2012 and November 2015 who received intravitreal bevacizumab with subsequent modified indirect diode laser panretinal photocoagulation for reactivation or incomplete vascularization. Main outcome measures included postprocedural reactivation, retinal detachments, or anterior segment ischemia.
Purpose: To investigate the rate of return to the operating room after vitrectomy surgery for vitreous opacities.
Design: Retrospective registry cohort.
Participants: Individuals receiving care in ophthalmology practices participating in the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS®) Registry.
Article Synopsis
- A 12-year-old boy developed a full-thickness macular hole (MH) linked to serologically confirmed neuroretinitis.
- After monitoring, the macular hole healed on its own without treatment.
- This case highlights that a macular hole can be a rare complication of neuroretinitis caused by Cat-Scratch Disease.

Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy, yet metastatic disease remains the most common malignancy of the eye. Differentiating these entities is essential as treatment, systemic associations, and prognosis vary dramatically between the two. Established diagnostic criteria are accurate for the diagnosis of uveal melanoma.

Study Design: Retrospective, clinical case series.
Methods: Subjective and objective evaluation was performed 12 months after surgery using laryngovideostroboscopy (LVS) in all patients, the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) in seven patients, GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) scale in nine patients, and noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR), phonatory range (PR) and maximum phonation time (MPT) in six patients.
Purpose: To examine the complications encountered after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) at one institution.
Design: Retrospective case review.
Methods: The first 126 consecutive DSAEKs done at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary from March 1, 2006 to March 1, 2008 were reviewed.
