A 45-year-old patient was referred to the Uveitis Service for presumed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in the right eye. Medical history was notable for chronic diarrhea, 15-kg unintentional weight loss, and hair loss. Visual acuity was 20/100 OD, improving to 20/50 with pinhole. Wide-field fundus photography showed a large area of necrotizing retinitis along the superior temporal vascular arcade, with retinal whitening, vascular sheathing, and intraretinal hemorrhages, while the macula remained uninvolved. The fellow eye was unremarkable. HIV-1 testing was positive, raising concern for an opportunistic retinal infection in the setting of immunosuppression. CMV retinitis was considered the leading diagnosis, and the patient was urgently referred for tertiary infectious disease and ophthalmologic management.

Widefield color fundus photograph (Clarus, Zeiss) of the right eye showing diffuse four-quadrant retinal hemorrhages (dot, blot, and flame-shaped) radiating from the optic disc, along with venous tortuosity and dilation and mild disc hyperemia. Findings are consistent with an acute central retinal vein occlusion.

Goldmann kinetic perimetry of the right eye demonstrating a dense annular (ring) scotoma affecting the mid-peripheral field, with a relatively preserved central island and residual peripheral isopters (III4e and II4e). This ring-scotoma pattern is characteristic of pericentral retinitis pigmentosa.

Horizontal macular OCT B-scan of the right eye showing preservation of the foveal contour and ellipsoid zone centrally, with progressive perifoveal attenuation and loss of the ellipsoid and interdigitation zones extending toward the pericentral retina. Outer nuclear layer thinning is noted outside the fovea, consistent with pericentral photoreceptor degeneration.

Ultra-widefield autofluorescence image of the right eye demonstrating an oval, pericentral zone of mottled hypo- and hyperautofluorescence encircling the macula, with a discrete hyperautofluorescent ring at its inner border and relative preservation of both the central macula and far peripheral retina. Findings support a pericentral pattern of retinal degeneration.

Fundus autofluorescence image (Clarus, Zeiss) of the right eye showing a well-defined parafoveal hyperautofluorescent ring encircling a relatively preserved central macula, surrounded by an annular zone of mottled hypo- and hyperautofluorescence corresponding to pericentral pigmentary degeneration. The far periphery is relatively spared.

Widefield color fundus photograph (Clarus, Zeiss) of the right eye showing a pericentral band of retinal pigment epithelium mottling and scattered bone-spicule-like pigment clumping surrounding the posterior pole, with relative sparing of the far periphery. The optic disc and retinal vasculature appear normal in caliber.

Widefield fluorescein angiogram (Clarus, Zeiss) of the left eye showing delayed/absent filling of the cilioretinal artery with a corresponding hypofluorescent wedge-shaped area adjacent to the disc. Delayed filling is also noted in the inferotemporal retinal arterial branch. Findings support the diagnosis of cilioretinal artery occlusion with associated inferotemporal arterial filling delay.

Horizontal OCT B-scan through the optic disc showing focal thickening and hyperreflectivity of the inner retinal layers with posterior shadowing, corresponding to the area of ischemic retinal whitening seen clinically. The outer retinal layers and RPE remain relatively preserved. Appearance is consistent with acute inner retinal ischemia from cilioretinal artery occlusion.

Widefield color fundus photograph (Clarus, Zeiss) of the left eye showing a well-demarcated, wedge-shaped area of retinal whitening (ischemic edema) adjacent to the optic disc, following the distribution of the cilioretinal artery. The remaining retinal vasculature and posterior pole appear otherwise unremarkable. Findings are consistent with an acute cilioretinal artery occlusion.

Optos RGB image of a 29-year-old male with a large subILM hemorrhage in the left eye. Patient was was seen in the ER for central haze in vision of the left eye following strenuous pushups. Clinical findings are consistent with Valsalva Retinopathy which is not uncommon following strenuous activities. Patient was advised to return in 2-3 weeks for a follow up exam and repeat Fundus photos for documentation and continued monitoring.

A 30-year-old male patient presented with complaints of floaters in his left eye. On examination, a pre-retinal hemorrhage was noted superior to the disc. On FFA, we can see a beautiful tuft of neovascularization along with blocked fluorescence due to pre-retinal hemorrhage. Also we can note the extensive capillary non perfusion areas in the temporal and superior periphery.

A middle-aged male patient who underwent LASEK laser refractive surgery attended a postoperative follow-up visit, during which the physician detected iris bulging and subsequently ordered OCT and UBM. The images show iris bulging in the left eye, where UBM visualizes the presence of multiple ciliary body cysts, suggesting that aqueous humor entrapment has occurred.
