Purpose: To report an incidence of procedure-related complications in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with intravitreal anti-VEGFs injection in both eyes on the same day.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter case series.
Subjects: Preterm infants with ROP treated with anti-VEGF bilaterally on the same day.
Article Synopsis
- * Nineteen patients (13 males, 6 females) aged 14 to 85 were studied, with neovascular age-related macular degeneration being the most common cause; 68% had successful treatment outcomes linked to specific FAF imaging patterns.
- * The research found that hypoautofluorescence on FAF was a strong predictor of successful resolution of SMH, indicating its potential value in guiding treatment decisions alongside other imaging methods.
Background: This study aims to assess systemic risk factors in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and predict diabetic retinopathy (DR) using a Random Forest (RF) classification model.
Methods: We included DM patients presenting to the retina clinic for first-time DR screening. Data on age, gender, diabetes type, treatment history, DM control status, family history, pregnancy history, and systemic comorbidities were collected.
Purpose: To study cases diagnosed of myelinated retinal nerve fibres (MRNF) continuous with the optic disc and describe the plausible pathogenic mechanism for the ocular features in Straatsma syndrome.
Methods: This retrospective observational study includes clinically diagnosed MRNF cases. MRNF, myopia, and amblyopia defined Straatsma syndrome.
Purpose: To describe the evolution of posterior staphyloma-induced serous maculopathy (PSISM) in a patient with myopic tilted disc syndrome and its treatment with subthreshold micro pulse laser (SMPL) therapy.
Case Description: A 38-year-old male, diagnosed previously with classical features of myopic tilted disc syndrome presented to the retina clinic after 5 years from the initial presentation with blurred vision in the right eye for 6 months, visual acuity of 6/15 and findings of serous macular detachment (SMD) and subretinal precipitates at the upper margin of the posterior staphyloma. Retinal imaging ruled out other causes of SMD such as chronic central serous chorioretinopathy, myopic macular neovascularisation and dome shaped macula.
The medical condition referred to as "central retinal artery occlusion" (CRAO) was first documented by Albrecht von Graefe in 1859. Subsequently, CRAO has consistently been identified as a serious medical condition that leads to substantial visual impairment. Furthermore, it is correlated with vascular complications that have the potential to affect crucial organs such as the brain and heart.

In this case report, we highlight the progression of MRS after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment for mMNV, as well as an extensive review of the literature on this topic.
Case Description: A 49-year-old woman presented with two weeks of recent onset blurring and metamorphopsia in her right eye.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can help create management recommendations for diabetic macular edema (DME) by generating case scenarios and comparing AI responses with clinician inputs.
- It involved analyzing 50 hypothetical ocular cases from 25 patients while checking if treatment suggestions matched national DME management guidelines.
- Results indicated moderate to substantial agreement in DME management between clinicians and AI, with the research potentially guiding revisions to global DME management protocols.
Purpose: To describe the findings of Multicolour® imaging (MCI) in the presence of residual emulsified silicone oil (SiO) droplets.
Case Report: A 62-year-old man had previously undergone surgery for a traumatic retinal detachment in the left eye, followed by SiO removal a few years ago. His presenting visual acuity was 6/60 in the left eye and intraocular pressure was 12 mm Hg.
Purpose: To report a rare case of progressive retinoschisis and retinal detachment after uncomplicated macular hole (MH) surgery.
Case Description: A 67-year-old man with recent onset vision complaints in the right eye (visual acuity - 20/30), was diagnosed with a small idiopathic full-thickness MH. He underwent a 3-port 25G pars plana vitrectomy surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling and air endotamponade.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (sACE) and lymphopenia in presumed sarcoid and tubercular uveitis.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted on a cohort of 755 adult patients with uveitis between January 2019 and June 2020. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were retrieved from our hospital database.
