Background: This study examined the interhemispheric integration function pattern in patients with iridocyclitis utilizing the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) technique. Additionally, we investigated the ability of VMHC results to distinguish patients with iridocyclitis from healthy controls (HCs), which may contribute to the development of objective biomarkers for early diagnosis and intervention in clinical set.
Methods: Twenty-six patients with iridocyclitis and twenty-six matched HCs, in terms of sex, age, and education level, underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) examinations.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents with oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) in treating cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 98 patients (98 eyes) with RP-CME: 47 (48.0%) received intravitreal anti-VEGF agents (Ranibizumab or Bevacizumab) and 51 (52.
