Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare microangiopathy affecting the precapillary arterioles of the brain, inner ear, and retina. We present a novel case of SS, presenting as acute incomplete bitemporal field loss in addition to temporally spaced neurological and vestibulocochlear symptoms. A 39-year-old female was referred to the ophthalmology clinic with acute incomplete bitemporal hemianopia and worsening hemicrania.

Materials And Methods: This multicenter retrospective study of iStent implantation with phacoemulsification included data from eight surgeons across Australia.
Aim: To report 4 cases of () species complex infection with diverse ophthalmic manifestations, and to review the literature to examine pathobiology of disease, classical ophthalmic presentations and outcomes, and treatment modalities for this emerging pathogen.
Methods: Cases of meningoencephalitis with ophthalmic manifestations were identified chart review at two institutions in Australia and one institution in the mid-west region of the United States and are reported as a case series. Additionally, a MEDLINE literature review was conducted to identify all reported cases of with ophthalmic manifestations from 1990-2020.
Purpose: This multicenter study evaluated 2-year effectiveness and safety following implantation of two second-generation trabecular micro-bypass stents (iStent ) with phacoemulsification.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of iStent implantation with phacoemulsification by nine surgeons across Australia. Eyes had mild to advanced glaucoma (predominantly primary open-angle/POAG, appositional angle-closure/ACG, or normal-tension/NTG) or ocular hypertension (OHT), and cataract.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis characteristically causes peripheral retinitis with associated vasculitis. It rarely begins in the macula or causes macular necrosis exclusively. We report a case of unilateral macular CMV retinitis in a 65-year-old immunosuppressed patient and document changes in the macula during treatment through optical coherence tomography (OCT).
