Article Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease that can affect the ocular system, with retinal vasculitis and optic neuritis being rare but serious manifestations. We present a case of a 26-year-old female with newly diagnosed SLE who developed both retinal vasculitis and optic neuritis, leading to progressive visual impairment. She was successfully treated with methylprednisolone and rituximab, achieving significant visual recovery. A review of existing literature highlights the diagnostic challenges, pathophysiology, and optimal treatment strategies for such cases. Our findings emphasize the importance of early recognition and aggressive immunosuppressive therapy in improving patient outcomes.

Background: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is a form of ischemic stroke per the American Heart Association, yet high-level evidence guiding management and prognostication is limited. The risk of future cerebral infarction following nonarteritic isolated RAO (iRAO; without concomitant cerebral infarction) is unclear. This study compares the risk of stroke recurrence following iRAO versus nondisabling ischemic cerebrovascular events (NICEs), including transient ischemic attacks and minor ischemic strokes.

Importance: Emerging evidence suggests that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), commonly used for glycemic control in diabetes, may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Understanding their potential protective role against uveitis could provide insights into novel therapeutic strategies.

Objective: To evaluate whether being prescribed a GLP-1RA is associated with a reduced risk of developing uveitis.

Infectious endophthalmitis is a vision-threatening complication of intraocular surgery and intravitreal injections. Standard treatment involves intravitreal antibiotics; however, concerns regarding multidrug resistance and vancomycin-associated hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis (HORV) highlight the need for alternative antimicrobial strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a protocol combining intravitreal injection of 1.
