Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is the fifth leading cause of blindness worldwide. Given the critical nature of the disease, it is paramount that individuals with diabetes undergo annual screening for early and timely detection of DR, facilitating prompt ophthalmic assessment and intervention. However, screening for DR, which involves assessing visual acuity and retinal examination through ophthalmoscopy or retinal photography, presents a significant global challenge due to the massive volume of individuals requiring annual reviews.

Background: Retinal dystrophy caused by genetic deficiency of AIPL1 causes severe and rapidly progressive impairment of sight from birth. We sought to evaluate whether early intervention by gene supplementation therapy was safe and could improve outcomes in children with this condition.
Methods: This non-randomised, single-arm, clinical study conducted in the UK involved four children aged 1·0-2·8 years with severe retinal dystrophy associated with biallelic disease-causing sequence variants in AIPL1.

Infection with carries a significant risk of cerebral malaria (CM). Children are particularly susceptible to human CM (HCM) which manifests as an acute neurovascular encephalopathy leading to high levels of mortality. Occurring in parallel with CM, malarial retinopathy (MR) is readily detected on ophthalmoscopy as one or more of: white-centered retinal hemorrhage, retinal whitening, and vessel discoloration.
