A series of 22 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) of similar clinical severity (9 with normal carbohydrate tolerance and 13 with insulin-treated fasting hyperglycemia) was examined with quantitative vitreous fluorophotometry. All of the CF patients studied had normal fundi on ophthalmoscopy, fundus photographs, and fluorescein angiography. Mean vitreous fluorescein concentration in the CF patie...

PURPOSE Little is known about the choroidal circulation in human eyes with ocular hypotony. Recently, indocyanine green angiography (IA) became a useful method for examining choroidal circulation. The present study using IA was designed to determine choroidal circulatory disturbances in patients with traumatic hypotony maculopathy. METHODS Indocyanine green angiography was performed on 3 cons...

In this report, we describe three cases of retinal macrovessel. Two of the three patients presented to our clinic for annual eye exam and had no visual complaints. The third patient presented because of vision loss in the left eye. Two patients had 20/20 best corrected visual acuity in both eyes and the third patient had 20/20 in the right eye, 20/25 in the left eye. Pupillary exams were normal...

PURPOSE To present a patient with overlapping choriocapillaritis syndromes who first presented as a typical case of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and later with characteristic findings compatible with multifocal choroiditis (MFC). CASE REPORT A 40-year-old myopic woman presented with a paracentral scotoma OS. Fundus examination revealed pale discolored areas around the optic ...

PURPOSE Describing the ophthalmic findings of an exudative vasculopathy called as Coats-like retinitis pigmentosa on three patients. The etiology of the Coats-like retinitis pigmentosa is obscure. The principal theories have been discussed in this article. METHODS Three observational case series have been discussed. Complete ophthalmic examinations and color fundus photos, visual field, and f...

An iron-containing foreign body retained in the eye may result in siderotic damage to several ocular structures. When the retina is sufficiently damaged, the electroretinogram (ERG) becomes non-recordable. The pathogenesis of retinal damage has not been com­ pletely studied, and available histopathologic material is mainly of end-stage retinal le­ sions in eyes that were damaged severely enough...

An otherwise healthy 27-year-old woman presented with complaints of sudden painless blurred vision in the right eye for one week. On examination, visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/20 in left eye. Fundus examination OS was normal, but OD demonstrated an elevated, opaque, yellowish parapapillary choroidal lesion with grayish membrane associated with minimal subretinal fluid, suggest...
