42-year-old pregnant African American with TRD and peripheral ischemia secondary to Eales disease. She was assigned this diagnosis of exclusion after a thorough work up for other identifiable causes of peripheral ischemia (e.g. sickle cell, syphilis, sarcoid, clotting disorders, SLE, TB, IP, FEVR). We elected to temporize her with PRP and Ozurdex in lieu of anti-VEGF medication given her pregnant status. Note: the Ozurdex pellet is visible in the inferior aspect of this photo.

43-year-old white male who was injured while racing a side by side 4-wheel off-road vehicle (see Video: https://imagebank.asrs.org/file/53854/sxs-crash-during-a-race-causing-valsalva-retinopathy-od). He presented about three weeks after the injury. He was being seen by his local eye doctor who wanted an evaluation for the retinal heme and scotoma. His main complaint was a central/parcentral scotoma described as a greyish area in vision. Va 20/50 OD, nomotensive, no APD (by technician), anterior segment u/r; see picture for the fundus exam - of note there are superficial/preretinal heme, with layering of the heme superiorly, and small superficial heme at nasal edge of the optic disc; in the parafoveal region nasally there is some mottling of the RPE that may indicate an area of prior commotio retinae (also possible to have TON), which may account for his scotoma. Really bad accident (video), and amazingly, he had no LOC or injuries other than the right retina. Helmet and racing harness seat belt were used.

20-year-old boy presented with recurrent retinal detachment post silicone oil removal with a macular hole. During surgery a retinal graft was created from the detached retina and positioned on the macular hole. silicone oil was injected at the end of surgery. One can see the diathermy marks on all sides of the edges of the graft.

This is a 53-year-old gentleman that was referred to us for a second opinion with an inoperable RD with PVR after 3 failed attempts. We performed a PPV, membranectomy, scleral buckling procedure, with silicone oil injection. This case did not require PFO. You can imagine our surprise when we discovered submacular PFO postoperatively. It is very difficult to see the PFO on the Optos. The infrared shows it clearly, with confirmation of the submacular space on the SD-OCT.

Large, dome-shaped peripheral choroidal melanoma of the left eye with inferior exudative retinal detachment. Note the lack of obvious orange pigment over the tumor and apparent drusen anteriorly. A lack of ophthalmoscopically obvious lipofuscin is not uncommon among larger choroidal melanomas. B-Scan ultrasonography (transverse, 10 o’clock) confirms a low-moderate internally reflective dome-shaped choroidal lesion with a small adjacent retinal detachment. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (radial, 10 o’clock) confirms no ciliary body involvement of the tumor.

A 54-year-old man with DM for 15 years. The left eye had a visual acuity of 20/40. Wide field swept source OCTA revealed branching out central neovascular trunk vessels from the disc with terminal loops, along with exuberant proliferation of irregular small-calibre fine new vessels. The patient underwent OCTA guided pan retinal photocoagulation.

A 61-year-old-male patient presented with sudden diminution of vision in the right eye due to retinal detachment with giant retinal tear and macular hole. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation was 20/200. A 23 G vitrectomy was performed. The edges of the tear were unrolled and complete retinal re-attachment under PFCL was achieved. A 360 degree intraoperative endolaser was performed on the peripheral retina as well as around the edges of the tears. PFCL was exchanged with silicone oil 5000cs as final tamponade. At six-months follow-up retina was attached and macular hole was repaired. Best-corrected visual acuity is 20/125 at present.

82-year-old white male with an acute loss of vision in the right eye was sent in to rule out a retinal detachment. Vision was 20/350; a dense VH was present, b-scan showed irregular areas of high reflectivity in the periphery that was c/w SRH. Peripherally, a few weeks later, there were areas that could be seen and were c/w peripheral CNVM (old and new). Anti-VEGF was administered. A month later vision was unchanged and patient wanted surgery to remove the VH. Pictured is one week since surgery; large peripheral scars are seen; diffuse areas of SR pigmentation is present; vitreous skirt present; and a few IRHs secondary to DR can be seen. He is currently 20/70 sc.
