Clinical Case: We report two patients of 29 and 50 years old presenting with unilateral choroidal folds in posterior segment in which, after a complete ophthalmic examination, we suspected an acquired hyperopic shift syndrome. Fluorescein angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a flattening of posterior globes and distended perineural subarachnoid spaces.
Discussion: Acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds is a benign condition characterised by the acute development of a unilateral or bilateral hyperopic shift in refractive error. We emphasise the importance of a differential diagnosis from a wide variety of disorders that can mimic this syndrome.

VITRECTOMY AND COMPLETE DRAINAGE OF SUPRACHOROIDAL FLUID WITHOUT PERIOPERATIVE STEROIDS FOR RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT COMBINED WITH CHOROIDAL DETACHMENT: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL.
Retina
December 2024
National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325027, China.
Purpose: To investigate the surgical effect of complete drainage of suprachoroidal fluid (SCF) before vitrectomy to avoid perioperative steroids in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment combined with choroidal detachment (RRD-CD) eyes.
Methods: It was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. 58 eyes were randomly divided into the no steroids (NS) group and local steroids (LS) group, 29 eyes each, respectively.
In-Office Suprachoroidal Viscopexy for Acute Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
JAMA Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: In-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a relatively new procedure for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), but minimal information is available regarding outcomes and safety.
Objective: To report outcomes with in-office SCVEXY for primary acute RRD.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective case series was conducted at St Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from June 2023 to February 2024 among consecutive patients with primary acute RRDs who presented with retinal tears that were reachable with the current in-office SCVEXY technique in the temporal or nasal retina.
Retromode Infrared Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: This study examined six patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using retromode infrared scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (RMI-SLO).
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of the medical records of six patients diagnosed with VKH disease. The RMI-SLO images were compared to those obtained using color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and dye-based retinal angiography.

Article Synopsis
- A case study details a 23-year-old woman who experienced significant vision loss after receiving an anti-VEGF injection for choroidal neovascularization (CNV), leading to complications resembling Vogt Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
- The patient developed hypotony maculopathy characterized by chorioretinal folds and multiple serous retinal detachments (SRDs), along with a drop in visual acuity and low intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Treatment included topical and systemic steroids, which improved her IOP, choroidal thickness, and reduced SRDs, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring of IOP and injection site integrity after such procedures.
