Objective: The proportion of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who manifest retinal involvement increases many fold in patients with active systemic disease. The objective of this report is to stress upon the significance of comprehensive ophthalmic assessment of all SLE patients to prevent and manage blinding ocular manifestations of the disease.
Methods: Retrospective case review.
Results: Incidental retinal vascular complications seen in patients undergoing baseline hydroxychloroquine screening.
Conclusion: The purpose of comprehensive ophthalmic screening in SLE patients is twofold. It will aid in the diagnosis and treatment of blinding ocular complications of the disease and monitor hydroxychloroquine macular toxicity.

Department of Ophthalmology, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
A 73-year-old male with a history of incidentally diagnosed Paget disease of bone affecting the skull and left orbit 2 years prior presented with 3 months of vision loss, proptosis, and periorbital swelling of the OS. Examination showed best-corrected Snellen visual acuity of 20/150 in the affected eye, intact motility, 7 mm of relative proptosis, significant dilated and tortuous "corkscrew" conjunctival vessels, serous choroidal and retinal detachments, optic nerve hyperemia, and venous tortuosity and dilation. Although the bony lesions in the left orbit were stable from 1 year prior on imaging, the diagnostic angiogram demonstrated osseous blush and hypervascularity of the lesion.

In such patients, scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation is preferred due to its fewer complications and better simulation of the natural lens position. In this non-randomized retrospective clinical study, we aimed to assess visual outcomes after sutureless SFIOL implantation in aphakic patients and factors affecting visual outcomes.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder predisposing to numerous tumors. Sporadic mutations account for half of the cases. They can occur on a mosaic pattern, which might remain undiagnosed, depending on the clinical phenotype.

Purpose: To describe a case of Wyburn-Mason syndrome in a young child with initially declined treatment leading to delayed intervention.
Methodology: Case report.
Results: We report a 6-year-old boy with mild periocular trauma following a fall, who was incidentally found to have a retinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with a brain AVM, indicative of Wyburn-Mason Syndrome.
