Influence of new societal factors on neovascular age-related macular degeneration outcomes.

Background: To assess the impact of unstudied societal factors for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) on functional outcomes after anti-VEGFs.

Methods: Charts of 94 nAMD patients treated in the Monticelli-Paradis Centre, Marseille, France, were reviewed. Phone interviews were conducted to assess societal factors, including transportation, living status, daily reading and social security scheme (SSS).

Treatment of Non-infectious Uveitic Macular Edema with the Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant.

Purpose: To describe the clinical outcome of phakic eyes with macular edema (ME) due to non-infectious uveitis treated with a dexamethasone intravitreal implant.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 41 eyes treated with a total of 58 dexamethasone intravitreal implants was conducted. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT) and complications data were collected.

Bilateral macular serous retinal detachment revealing acute myeloblastic leukemia.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral serous retinal detachment revealing acute myeloblastic leukemia.

Methods: A 31-year-old man presenting with decreased vision in both eyes, 20/50 in the right eye and 20/32 in the left eye, was submitted to a complete ophthalmologic and systemic evaluation.

Results: Fundus biomicroscopy, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography showed bilateral serous retinal detachment and signs of choroidal ischemia.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy as the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis.

Purpose: To report an undiagnosed case of systemic sarcoidosis manifesting with bilateral acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE).

Case Report: A 26-year-old Caucasian man was referred for management of unilateral visual loss together with a paracentral scotoma developing 2 weeks after a flu-like syndrome. Clinical signs and ancillary diagnostic investigations suggested APMPPE.
