Purpose: to report a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy occurring after intravitreal aflibercept injection for macular edema due to CRVO.
Observations: Two days after Aflibercept intravitreal injection, the patient developed vision loss associated with a central scotoma. Optical coherence tomography showed a hyperreflective band at the level of the outer nuclear/outer plexiform layer corresponding to the patient's scotoma, ruling in the diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopahty. Even though the OCT abnormalities resolved spontaneously, only partial resolution of the scotoma was observed 4 months later.
Conclusions And Importance: Acute macular neuroretinopathy might be associated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injection.

Purpose: To assess the risk of renal adverse events, particularly acute kidney injury (AKI), between intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents.
Design: Meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on Ovid Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2005 to February 2024 involving adult patients receiving anti-VEGF intravitreal injections for agerelated macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

The exposure of the general population to artificial light at night has dramatically increased in recent decades. Current standards for domestic lighting are based on acute exposure to light and consider blue wavelengths to be responsible for phototoxicity. However, meta-analyses pointed out the role of lifelong light exposure in the onset of age-related macular degeneration, suggesting a cumulative effect of light exposure.

We used machine learning to investigate the residual visual field (VF) deficits and macula retinal ganglion cell (RGC) thickness loss patterns in recovered optic neuritis (ON). We applied archetypal analysis (AA) to 377 same-day pairings of 10-2 VF and optical coherence tomography (OCT) macula images from 93 ON eyes and 70 normal fellow eyes ≥ 90 days after acute ON. We correlated archetype (AT) weights (total weight = 100%) of VFs and total retinal thickness (TRT), inner retinal thickness (IRT), and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness.

Purpose: To study clinical features, anatomical and visual outcomes in eyes having rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) as the presenting feature of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with ARN (active/healed) and concomitant RD at the presenting visit.
Results: The median age of patients was 36 years, with a male preponderance (9:1).
