Introduction: Retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) is a benign vascular hamartoma that can occur sporadically or as a manifestation of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. If left untreated, it results in adverse ocular complications depending on its location and eventual visual loss.
Case Presentation: We present a 50-year-old man who was a known case of VHL with history of left eye vision loss in the left eye at the age of 30 years.

Purpose: Acute postoperative endophthalmitis (APE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. During the most recent decades, the use of povidone-iodine (PVI) before surgery combined with intracameral cefuroxime has drastically reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis. The goal of this study is to describe the changes in endophthalmitis rates after cataract surgery over the past two decades in a large tertiary ophthalmology center.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence, causes, risk factors and treatment of acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after phacoemulsification in a private ophthalmological group.
Design: Uncontrolled retrospective observational study of all cases of POE over 22 years.
Material And Methods: 369,476 eyes were included after phacoemulsification in 41 surgical centers of the Clínica Baviera-AIER EYE Group from 2002 to 2023.

Bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is caused by a breach of the blood-ocular barrier by pathogens originating from distant sites. It is a rare cause of endophthalmitis and can lead to devastating outcomes without prompt and adequate treatment. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of type II diabetes mellitus who experienced an episode of acute myocardial infarction complicated by an acute exacerbation of chronic kidney disease, catheter-related infection, bloodstream infection, bacterial endocarditis, and bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis confirmed by blood culture and bilateral vitreous culture showing growth of methicillin-sensitive (MSSA).

Background: Monitoring for potential inflammatory events following intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) injection is crucial with the use of new agents such as aflibercept 8 mg. Despite a safety profile comparable to aflibercept 2 mg in pivotal and phase 3 studies, reporting such cases in clinical practice helps evaluate potential risk of these agents.
Case Presentation: In this case series, a cluster of 8 patients manifesting acute intraocular inflammation (IOI) after intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg injection at three different centers are described.
