Unveiling endophthalmitis post COVID-19 - A case series.

Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, has become a global pandemic. There has been a resurgence in complications involving various organs in patients recovered from COVID-19, and endophthalmitis is one of them. Endophthalmitis-an inflammation of intraocular tissues leading to loss of vision or even loss of eye-has been a rare occurrence in the past, but has been on the rise in the post-COVID-19 times.

Oral contraceptive pills: A risk factor for retinal vascular occlusion in in-vitro fertilization patients.

Retinal vascular occlusion is the most common cause of retinopathy leading to severe visual loss in all age groups. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is usually seen in older age group and is often associated with systemic vascular diseases. Although the exact cause and effect relationship has not been proven, central retinal vein occlusion has been associated with various systemic pathological conditions, hence a direct review of systems toward the various systemic and local factors predisposing the central retinal vein occlusion is advocated.

Refinement of the X-linked nonsyndromic high-grade myopia locus MYP1 on Xq28 and exclusion of 13 known positional candidate genes by direct sequencing.

Purpose: Myopia is a common vision problem affecting almost one third of the world's population. It can occur as an isolated genetic condition or be associated with other anomalies and/or syndromes. Seventeen myopia loci have been identified on various chromosomes; however, no specific gene mutations have yet been identified.
