Background: ROSAH syndrome is an autosomal dominant systemic disease featuring etinal dystrophy, ptic nerve edema, plenomegaly, nhidrosis and migrainous eadache. Ocular manifestation of ROSAH syndrome can simulate posterior uveitis, vasculitis, generalized retinal dystrophy and neuroretinitis.
Purpose: To report a case of a 17-year-old female presenting with recurrent vitreous hemorrhage on a background of dental anomalies and anhidrosis.
Importance: The number of females practising ophthalmology is rising. It is known that practice patterns between female and male ophthalmologists differ. Understanding the differences will help to inform future workforce planning.

Previous studies have demonstrated reduced retinal blood flow in axial myopia, and it has been suggested that the compromised retinal capillaries in diabetes are less likely to leak and rupture as a result of this decreased flow. In this study, we therefore investigated if reduced retinal capillary flow (RCF) is a potential mechanism underpinning this protective relationship.

Methods: Retinal oximetry readings were assessed using the oximetry module of the Vesselmap System in 100 eyes of 50 healthy subjects aged 18 to 58 years. Generalized estimating equation models were used to estimate the associations of candidate variables (age, sex, retinal capillary flow, HbA1c, triglyceride, total cholesterol, ocular perfusion pressure, and finger oxygen saturation [SO2]) with retinal oximetry measures (arteriolar SO2, venular SO2, and the arterio-venous [A-V] difference).
