The study was aimed to present a rare case of who developed non arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) following robotic-assisted gynaecologic surgery. A 58-year-old female patient presented with vision loss in right eye after non-complicated robotic-assisted total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy. We observed on fundoscopy optic disc edema and splinter hemorrhages at the optic disc edges. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescence of the optic disc in the early phases due to filling delay followed by hyperfluorescence with leakage from disc capillaries in the late phases of the angiogram. From these findings, we diagnosed NAION in the right eye. When NAION was diagnosed, the patient received intravenous methylprednisolone. Topical brimonidin and coenzyme-Q were given. On 1-month follow-up, recovery of visual loss was observed. Here, we present a case of NAION that is an uncommon cause of perioperative visual loss after robotic-assisted gyneacologic surgery.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), known as a common ocular disease with genetic heterogeneity, is characterized by progressive optic disc atrophy and visual field defects. This study aimed to assess the contribution of previously reported POAG-associated genes and investigate potential functional variations and genotype-phenotype correlations in a Han Chinese population. DNA from 500 cases and 500 controls was pooled and sequenced using a customized panel of 398 candidate genes.

Tamoxifen, an oral medication that blocks estrogen activity, is frequently prescribed for the treatment of advanced breast cancer and as an additional therapy following surgical removal of early stage disease. A 45-year-old female with a history of breast carcinoma treated with tamoxifen presented with sudden onset bilateral visual impairment for 4 days. On ocular examination, the patient exhibited optic disc edema with hyperemia and bilateral anterior pathway defects in visual evoked potentials.

: Central and branch retinal artery occlusion (CRAO and BRAO) are critical causes of acute vision loss, predominantly affecting older adults with systemic vascular pathology. These occlusions typically result from embolic events, leading to partial or complete retinal ischemia. : This retrospective case series report details of our 10-year experience using the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for Transluminal Nd:YAG Embolysis (TYE) in order to lyse visible emboli within the retinal arteries.

Background: In children, pseudopapilledema is frequently caused by peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) or optic disc drusen (ODD). While enhanced depth imaging (EDI) OCT can identify both, lack of cooperation, especially from younger children due to the duration of testing, often necessitates the use of B-scan ultrasound (BSUS). This study investigated whether PHOMS are hyperreflective on BSUS and if BSUS can differentiate PHOMS from ODD.
