Article Abstract
Objectives: To identify whether the outcomes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in routine clinical practice have changed over time.
Methods: We analysed 12-month outcomes in treatment-naïve eyes that started aflibercept or ranibizumab for nAMD (3802 eyes), DMO (975 eyes), Branch RVO (BRVO, 357 eyes), Central RVO (CRVO, 371 eyes) and Hemi-RVO (HRVO, 54 eyes) from 2015 and 2019 tracked in the prospectively designed observational Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry.
Results: The mean VA change at 12-month for each year between 2015 and 2019 remained stable or otherwise showed no discernible trends over time in eyes with nAMD (+3.3 to +6 letters), DMO (+3.6 to +6.7 letters) and RVO (+10.3 to +11.7 letters for BRVO, +5.9 to +17.7 letters for CRVO and 10.2 to 20.7 letters for HRVO). The median number of VEGF-inhibitor injections in eyes that completed 12-month follow-up also remained stable at 8-9 for nAMD, 6-7 for DMO, 7-9 for RVO. Fewer eyes (
Conclusions: Treatment patterns and outcomes for nAMD, DMO and RVO in routine clinical practice have stabilised over the past 5 years at levels inferior to those reported by the pivotal phase 3 studies. A conscious effort to treat these conditions more intensively, or with longer lasting agents, would likely improve outcomes further in our patients.

Objective: To describe the use of transcorneal iris photocoagulation (TCIP) to improve intraocular visualization of intended incision lines, reduce hemorrhage, and facilitate excision of pigmented iridal tumors in four canine eyes and one feline eye.
Materials And Methods: A Rhodesian Ridgeback (treated bilaterally), a German Shepherd, a Labrador Retriever, and a Scottish Fold underwent sector iridectomy due to rapidly growing, pigmented, raised, iridal tumors affecting 1/4-1/3 of the iris circumference (3- to 4-clock hours). A diode laser was used to delineate the intended sector iridectomy incision lines, approximately 1-2 mm away from the grossly visible tumor margins, with the aim of improving visualization to achieve tumor-free margins and reduce tissue handling/trauma.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess visual and refractive outcomes and cost utility of toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation in cataract patients over 80 with corneal astigmatism.
Methods: Patients >= 80 years with corneal astigmatism >= 1.50 diopters (D) who underwent cataract surgery with toric or monofocal IOLs were enrolled.

BACKGROUND Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, often diagnosed late in resource-limited settings. The diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical ophthalmologic examination, B-mode ultrasound, and histopathological study. This report details a case of a 67-year-old woman with progressive vision loss and ocular pain due to an inferomedial uveal melanoma to highlight therapeutic limitations from delayed diagnosis.

Vision is one of the most important means by which animals perceive their environment. In the pelagic ocean, there is an enormous gradient of available light from the well-lit surface to the deep bathypelagic zone. Fish inhabiting different depths of the pelagic ocean must adapt to these conditions.
