Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the incidence and outcomes of aggressive retinopathy of prematurity (A-ROP) in infants treated with two different medications: ranibizumab (IVR) and bevacizumab (IVB).
- It involved a review of 108 infants over several years, showing that those treated with IVR experienced significantly higher rates of reactivation compared to those given IVB, with reactivation occurring earlier in the IVR group.
- Although more infants treated with IVB exhibited regression with a persistent avascular retina (PAR), the overall outcome for retinal vascularization was similar for both treatment groups.

We present a case of ocular tuberculosis (TB) presenting as scleral abscess with choroidal detachment. A 60-year-old woman presented with intense pain, redness, watering and decreased vision in the right eye (RE) for 1 week duration. Slit lamp examination of RE revealed diffuse scleritis with two pus-pointing areas in the supero-temporal quadrant suggesting scleral abscess.
