Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, autofluorescence, ellipsoid zone, enlarged blind spot
The authors present two illustrative cases of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) which causes acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement. The disease is characterised by sudden loss of outer retinal function associated with photopsia, with minimal or no fundoscopic changes...

Diabetic macular edema, heredity, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, risk factors, survival analysis
This study used survival analysis on 2199 patients who had reached vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy to investigate the contribution of heredity to diabetes together with other known risk factors for the development of either proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or diabetic macular...
Radiation retinopathy
The authors review the current treatment options for this condition. Radiation retinopathy (RR) occurs as a complication after exposure to any type of radiation (external beam, plaque brachytherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery) in the orbital or adnexal region. These include nasopharyngeal...Retinopathy of prematurity

EYE - Glaucoma
This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine whether dyslipidaemia is a risk factor for progressing to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and consequently requiring pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment in type 1 diabetics. In previous studies including the ETDRS study an...
Microvascular disease in Alport syndrome
The authors present the findings of a retrospective case-control observational study on increased microvascular disease in individuals with Alport syndrome recruited over a 21-year period. They recruited 28 males and 28 females with X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) and eight men...Comparison between findings in OCTA and FA in patients with diabetic retinopathy
