Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris syndrome (BADI syndrome) is a new clinical entity. Young females from 20 to 45 years of age are most commonly affected. It is characterized by bilateral nontransilluminating depigmentation of the iris stroma. During the acute phase, this clinical entity also combines with red painful eye, pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork, anterior chamber flare, circulating pigment, and pigmented deposit on the endothelium cornea. At the acute stage, the symptoms are controlled with topical corticosteroid treatment. The prognosis is good. We report a 41-year-old woman presenting with BADI syndrome.

Shaanxi Eye Hospital, Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital), Affiliated People's Hospital, Northwest University, Xi'an, 710004, Shaanxi, China.
Background: Oculocutaneous albinism is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by congenital melanin deficiency, resulting in hypopigmentation of the eyes, hair, and skin. This study included a Chinese family with an oculocutaneous albinism pedigree, in which the proband presented with oculocutaneous albinismcombined with secondary angle closure, which has been rarely reported in previous literature. This article primarily focused on the clinical and genetic examination results of this patient and provided recommendations for ophthalmologist to treat patients with oculocutaneous albinism in clinical practice.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: The aim of this study was to test whether oral administration of nicotinamide riboside (NR), the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursors, protect retina ganglion cells (RGCs) from neurodegeneration in DBA/2J (D2) mice, which is a widely used mouse model of age-related inherited glaucoma.
Method: Oral NR or NAM administration (NR low dose: 1150mg/kg; NR high dose: 4200mg/kg; NAM low dose group: 500mg/kg; NAM high dose: 2000mg/kg of body weight per day) essentially started when D2 mice were 4 or 9 months old and continued up to 12 months old. Control cohort identically received food/water without NAM or NR.

- The report emphasizes the need for thorough exams and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and management of OA patients.
Eye injuries caused by high intensity macro and micro focused ultrasound treatment: a case report.

September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, The First Hospital of Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330006, China.
Background: High Intensity Macro and Micro Focused Ultrasound ( HIFU) is a safe and effective method for the treatment of skin laxity. However, the application of high-intensity focused ultrasound energy on eyelids has been associated with potential ocular complications including traumatic cataract, iridocyclitis, and conjunctival hemorrhage, among others.
Case Presentation: A 40-year-old female developed blurred vision in her left eye after receiving HIFU treatment on binocular eyelids, and her left far vision was 20/66.
