Purpose: To report two cases of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) from northern Iran and to present the sequential imaging.
Methods: Two patients with large subretinal nematodes were evaluated and managed in our clinic. Serial fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were used to document the course of the disease.
The Persian Eye Cohort Study, a population-based cross-sectional study from 2015 to 2020, examined refractive error prevalence among 48,618 Iranian adults aged 31 to 70. The study encompassed six centers in Iran, employing random cluster sampling for demographic, medical, and socioeconomic data collection through interviews. Ophthalmic exams included visual acuity, automated and manual objective refraction, subjective refraction, slit lamp, and fundus examinations.
