• Retinitis Pigmentosa: Now available in its Pericentral edition

    Nov 7 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Right eye fundus photo of a 50 year old patient, diagnosed with bilateral Pericentral variant of Retinitis Pigmentosa. True to the subtype, the pigmentation is closer to fixation. There are bony spicules like pigmentary changes and RPE atrophy seen around the macula and disc (posterior pole), just adjacent to the arcades, while the peripheral fundus appears unaffected. The macula shows severe macular atrophy and scarring. Similar changes were observed in the left eye.

  • Gravity = 1, Zonules = 0 : Cionni ring-IOL-Bag complex subluxation

    Nov 7 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Right eye anterior segment slit-lamp image of a 30 year old male, who was operated for spontaneous bilateral inferior subluxation of crystalline lens. Primary surgery was performed almost 20 years ago in which lens extraction was done followed by IOL placement in bag after stabilising it with Cionni ring. The patient presented to us recently with right eye diminution of vision and was noted to have inferiorly subluxated IOL-capsular bag complex, with vitreous in AC coming from the superior aphakic area. Interestingly, we have also captured in this image - the capsular tension ring (Cionni ring) with its central fixation eyelet.

  • Eye Finally Got the Ring... But the Retina Was Too Detached to Care

    Nov 5 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Left Eye B-scan ultrasound of a patient with old retinal detachment shows open funnel shaped hyperechoic membranous echoes, with high amplitude spikes on A-scan and a poor after-movement on dynamic B-scan, suggestive of retinal detachment. We can see a round echogenicity in sub-retinal location, with clear contents within, suggestive of a retinal cyst. This B-scan image is indicative of a long-standing chronic retinal detachment with secondary retinal cyst.

  • All That Glows Yellow Isn’t Mellow: Coats' Disease Unveiled

    Nov 4 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Montage fundus image of an 11 year old boy diagnosed with left eye Coats' disease (stage 3A1), reveals a hyperemic disc and surrounding intra-retinal exudates superior to the disc. There is a single fibroglial nodule at the macula causing submacular fibrosis with exudation. We can see areas of pigmentary changes and RPE atrophy in posterior pole and mid-peripheral retina supero-temporally. There is massive yellowish subretinal exudation in all the quadrants, which are associated with telangiectatic aneurysmal capillary dilation, more prominently seen in the nasal periphery. Supero-nasally we can also see an orange-red elevated vaso-proliferative mass with overlying dilated capillaries, which has likely developed secondary to untreated long standing disease. We can also see associated extrafoveal subtotal exudative retinal detachment in the inferior and nasal quadrants.

  • The Great Vascular Traffic Jam: Combined Retinal Vein and Artery Occlusion

    Oct 29 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    57 year old female, recently diagnosed with accelerated hypertension, developed Right eye Combined Retinal Vein and Artery Occlusion. Posterior pole image showed severe disc edema with peri-papillary haemorrhages. There is significant retinal whitening suggestive of edema leading to the classic cherry red spot at the macula. We can also see segmented flow of blood in retinal arterioles, which is the characteristic cattle-trucking seen in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Widefield image revealed multiple intra-retinal blot hemorrhages in all quadrants with tortuous dilated vessels suggestive of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
