Purpose: We describe three different approaches for lens management in cases of metallic IOFBs involving the posterior segment.
Methods: All consecutive posterior segment metallic IOFB cases from 2012 to 2023 at a single institution were included in this retrospective case series. Surgical outcomes and surgical videos are presented.
This retrospective study identifies patients with RP at the Inherited Retinal Disease Clinic at the University of Minnesota (UMN)/M Health System who had genetic testing via next generation sequencing. A database was curated to record history and examination, genetic findings, and ocular imaging. Causative pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants were recorded.

Background And Objective: To describe the ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging characteristics of patients with degenerative peripheral retinoschisis (DPR) using Optomap technology.
Patients And Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series, eligible patients underwent detailed retinal examination including indirect ophthalmoscopy. UWF fundus imaging, including color fundus photography, autofluorescence, and angiography, was performed using standardized protocols and findings were recorded and reviewed and analyzed.

The authors report a case of a 2-year-old male with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). On examination, the patient had chorioretinal lesions, peripheral avascular retina, and unilateral glaucoma. CGD is a primary immunodeficiency that leaves the host susceptible to infections and granuloma formation.

Design: Multicenter, retrospective, comparative, observational case series.
Participants: We identified 411 patients with FEVR, examined between September 2014 and June 2018.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of the intravitreal dexamethasone implant as the treatment for recalcitrant macular edema after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.
Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records was performed on 17 consecutive patients (17 eyes) with recalcitrant macular edema associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair who were treated with a single or multiple injections of an intravitreal dexamethasone 0.7-mg implant (Ozurdex; Allergan Inc) at two centers.
