Pseudocolor optos fundus image of an 61-year-old male with ciliary body melanoma affecting his right eye, which tested PRAME positive placing him in class 2. The melanoma had caused a hemorrhagic retinal detachment. Patient was referred for a retinal detachment and was experiencing cloudy vision affecting his inferior field. He had been seeing flashes inferiorly 1-2x a daily for about 6-8 months.

18-year-old African American female with increased BMI with a history of headaches, nausea, transient diplopia and vision loss that she notices when getting up from her bed (and goes away after standing upright) for the last two weeks. Went to PCP and was treated for the flu, and after no improvement and visual symptoms known, was sent to ED. MRI did not show any masses and showed empty sella turcia. Scheduled for LP (expect high opening pressure) and neuro-ophthalmology. Vision 20/30 OD and 20/20 OS; no RAPD; IOP 15OU; no anterior segment or vitreous inflammation; discs are elevated with obscuration of the disc margins and some of the smaller vessels; there are no SVPs; there are mild Patton's lines temporally. The optic disc cube shows 360 degrees of RNFL thickening.
