Introduction: The research aimed to study the natural course of serous macular detachment SRD) in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), and document fundus changes, OCT findings and visual outcome.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Admitted patients underwent ocular screening, and detailed dilated indirect ophthalmoscopy. Those with serous macular detachment were further evaluated with OCT; characteristics of OCT analysed and recorded. All eyes were followed up till macular resolution was noted.
Results: Out of 4950 cases, 22 patients (38 eyes) had serous macular detachment. Mean central macular thickness (CMT) was 512.29 (SD 242.074). RPE irregularity (31.6%),subretinal hyperreflective dots (26.3%) and subretinal membranes (23.7%) were more commonly seen OCT features in these eyes. The difference between mean vision and mean central macular thickness at different intervals was statistically significant : F(3, 111)=65.514, p - 0.001; F(3, 111)=47.331, p - 0.001 respectively. All eyes had resolution of retinal detachment with full visual recovery following delivery. However, 10 pregnancies had foetal mortality.
Conclusion: The incidence of ocular affection in pregnancy induced hypertension is 1-2%. Retinal detachment in such cases have good visual potential following termination of pregnancy. However, the cases had a high incidence of foetal demise. Therefore, early emphasis on early detection of ocular involvement in pregnancy induced hypertension and timely intervention is focused on to prevent foetal demise.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of bacillary layer detachment in central serous chorioretinopathy: a comparative multicenter study.
Int J Retina Vitreous

Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is marked by serous retinal detachments caused by fluid leakage from the retinal pigment epithelium, often associated with stress, psychiatric disorders and the use of corticosteroids. This study aims to investigate the clinical and systemic characteristics associated with BALAD in patients with CSC, comparing those with and without BALAD to clarify its function as a biomarker of CSC severity and improve diagnostic and treatment approaches.
Purpose: Compare the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) with and without Bacillary Layer Detachment (BALAD), and to identify the distinguishing features and associated conditions of CSC with BALAD.

Bartonella henselae is a Gram-negative bacillus, mainly parasitizing on cats. When a child is scratched by a cat, they may present with the disease symptoms including regional lymphadenopathy, malaise, fever, and splenomegaly, which is known as cat-scratch disease (CSD). Ocular manifestations occur in 5-10% of patients with CSD.

Diabetic macular oedema (DME) is a major cause of vision impairment in individuals with diabetes mellitus, characterised by fluid accumulation in the macula due to increased vascular permeability. The growing prevalence of diabetes worldwide has led to an increasing burden of DME on healthcare systems. While current treatment options such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections, corticosteroids, and laser therapy exist, the variability in patient responses highlights the need for reliable prognostic tools.
