Objective: To identify differences in anterior chamber anatomy among patients with asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome and no other discernible cause for the asymmetry.
Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy and A-scan biometry were performed on both eyes of 13 patients with asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome without a known cause for asymmetric involvement. A radial perpendicular image in the horizontal temporal meridian detailing the scleral spur, angle anatomy, and iris configuration was obtained for each eye by 2 examiners.
Results: There were no differences in lens thickness (P = .33), refractive error (P = .84), or axial length (P = .99) between more and less affected eyes. However, the mean +/- SD iris concavity (P<.001), iris-lens contact distance (P = .02), and distance from the scleral spur to the iris insertion (0.42 +/- 0.11 vs 0.29 +/- 0.06 mm) (P = .002) were greater in the more affected eye of each patient.
Conclusion: A more posterior iris insertion predisposes to the phenotypic expression of pigment dispersion syndrome.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of the acute progressive phase of a recently proposed clinical entity, Multizonal Outer Retinopathy and Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy (MORR), a variant of Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR).
Methods: Single observational case report.
Results: We present the case of a 49-year-old myopic female with progressive outer retinopathy most consistent with a diagnosis of MORR.
Dermoscopic Examination of Tinea Nigra on the Plantar Foot Unveils a Parallel Ridge Pattern Mimicking Acral-Lentiginous Melanoma.

A man in his thirties patient visited his previous physician with the chief complaint of a pigmented macule on the sole of his left foot that had steadily grown over the past two years. A dermoscopic examination of the lesion showed a parallel ridge pattern (PRP); therefore, acral-lentiginous melanoma (ALM) was suspected, and the patient was referred to our hospital for a more detailed examination. On closer inspection, PRP had a well-defined and irregular border with no variation in color, which is atypical for ALM which is characterized by asymmetrical structure and variation in colors.

Highly efficient Ce-activated BaGd(SiO)O (BGSO) cyan-emitting phosphors were designed to simultaneously fulfill the applications of plant growth and a white-light-emitting diode (white-LED). Here, the spectral behaviors of the studied samples are manipulated by arranging Ce to occupy various crystallographic sites (., Ba and Gd) in BGSO host lattices.

Purpose: To observe the choroidal vasculature in patients with tilted disc syndrome (TDS) using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate the symmetry of the choroidal vascular pattern in the macular area.
Methods: En face OCT was performed using a Plex Elite 9000 (Zeiss) with a 12 × 12 mm image of the macula, which was flattened with retinal pigment epithelium and segmented into choroidal layers. The middle/large choroidal vessels were evaluated for vertical symmetry qualitatively by the retina specialist coauthors and quantitatively by binarization analysis of choroidal vessel density and mean vessel diameter.
