Subconjunctival herniated orbital fat (SHOF) usually occurs in the superotemporal quadrant, and SHOF located in other quadrants is extremely rare. This study aimed to compare the patient characteristics between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in other quadrants. This is a retrospective study of 45 patients with SHOF who were referred to our institution between January 2015 and January 2023 and 14 previously reported patients in published case reports of SHOF that were not located in the superotemporal quadrant. Data on patient age, sex, affected sides, and body mass index were collected from the medical records of our institution and from previous reports. Patient age, male-to-female ratio, unilateral-to-bilateral ratio, and body mass index were compared between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and patients with SHOF in the other quadrants. Of the 45 patients, only 1 patient showed SHOF in a location other than the superotemporal quadrant (inferonasal quadrant). Based on a comparison of 44 patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and 15 patients with SHOF in the other quadrants, the latter entity predominantly occurred in young, non-obese females (P < .050). Unilateral cases were more common in SHOF in the other quadrants (P = .003). Patient characteristics were found to be different between cases of SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in the other quadrants.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the distribution and characteristics of choroidal vortex veins in patients with pachychoroid disease (PCD) through a retrospective observational design.
- Using wide-field indocyanine green angiography, researchers analyzed 190 eyes from 99 PCD patients, categorizing vortex veins by location (equatorial vs. posterior) and morphology (various completeness levels).
- Key findings revealed that 91.1% of eyes lacked posterior vortex veins, with the majority being equatorial and the most common type being incomplete; these insights are crucial for understanding the vascular aspects of PCD.

Background: Pregabalin abuse is a rapidly growing health problem worldwide, and little is known about the effects of prolonged high-dose use in patients with pregabalin use disorder.
Objective: In this study, the effects of pregabalin abuse on retinal layers were investigated in patients with pregabalin use disorder (PGUD).
Methods: This study included 35 controls and 34 patients with PGUD, according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 criteria.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the choroidal characteristics of vortex vein (VV) drainage systems in healthy individuals using ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography angiography.
Methods: The mean choroidal thickness (ChT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) of each VV quadrant (24 × 20 mm2 scan mode; superotemporal [ST], superonasal [SN], inferonasal [IN], and inferotemporal [IT] quadrants) were calculated. Furthermore, intervortex venous anastomosis (IVA) was classified into temporal, superior, inferior, and nasal types.
Peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thinning in patients with X-linked retinoschisis.

Aims: To assess peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) thickness in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), as pRNFL thinning may limit functional improvements in gene therapy trials.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included 49 eyes from 25 patients diagnosed with XLRS. Data collected with multimodal imaging at baseline and last follow-up (when available) included age, best-recorded visual acuity (BRVA), central retinal thickness, macular volume (MV), presence and location of peripheral retinoschisis and pRNFL thickness in the global (G), superotemporal (TS), superonasal (NS), inferotemporal (TI), inferonasal (NI), nasal (N) and temporal (T) sectors.
