Non-infectious endophthalmitis was observed significantly more often after KE injections (7.3%) than after PFTA injections (1.2%) (p<0.05). An inflammatory reaction was more clinically relevant in the KE group than in the PFTA group.

Initial BCVA may be a reliable predictor of the visual outcome in central serous chorioretinopathy. Eyes with worse BCVA may have an increased risk of foveal atrophy. Fluid persistence on optical coherence tomography may be associated with worse visual prognosis.

StratusOCT provided valuable information, allowing for the exclusion of other disorders that might mimic UAIM. mfERG findings were consistent with transient outer retinal dysfunction as the cause of visual loss. We are unaware of previous reports of UAIM studied by these methods and could find no reference to them in a computerized search using MEDLINE.

Epiretinal membrane removal with and without ILM peeling shows similar functional and anatomical improvements, but the group in which the ILM was not removed seemed to have a higher recurrence rate.

Short-term results with IVB for the treatment of exudative AMD have been promising. However, the chronic retinal and pigment epithelium changes frequently present in eyes that underwent multiple previous treatments may limit complete visual recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of IVB for this particular group of AMD patients.

Purpose: To report a case of simultaneous bilateral central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) associated with multiple myeloma. Methods: A 65-year-old woman had sudden, painless loss of vision in both eyes for 20 days. Ophthalmologic examination revealed bilateral CRVO. Appropriate medical workup was conducted, and multiple myeloma was diagnosed as the underlying cause. Results: Clinical support and chemotherapy effectively controlled paraprotein production, leading to improvement of both systemic and ocular alterations. Conclusions: Many conditions have been noted to be associated with CRVO. Based on a Medline search, this is the first report of simultaneous bilateral CRVO as the first manifestation of multiple myeloma, illustrating the need for a primary care ophthalmologist to be involved in the basic assessment for associated underlying diseases in retinal disorders.
