Heidelberg Spectralis infrared video imaging provides a diagnostic modality for the assessment of dynamic torsional instability of the eyes. It accurately detects monocular changes in both vertical and torsional eye position as fixation is switched from one eye to the other without the need for illuminating either eye. Heidelberg Spectralis infrared video imaging is useful for depicting the subtle torsional components of dissociated vertical divergence, latent nystagmus in patients with infantile esotropia.

One patient with bilateral retinopathy of prematurity received photocoagulation with standard spot size burns placed adjacently to LSS burns. Using a pixel analysis program called Image J on the Retcam picture, the areas of each retinal spot size were determined in units of pixels, giving a standard spot range of 805 to 1294 pixels and LSS range of 1699 to 2311 pixels.

Therefore, angiogenesis inhibition has been developed as a therapeutic strategy. We report 2 cases of recurrent exudative AMD in which oral sorafenib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for cancer, was added to intravitreal ranibizumab, an antibody to vascular endothelial growth factor.

Methods: A 55-year-old woman with a ring melanoma was scheduled for enucleation. The eye (visual acuity 20/20) had a healthy-appearing macular retina.
