    Abstract Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of visual loss worldwide. The most important clinical findings include diabetic macular edema (DME) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
    Areas covered: PubMed was used for our literature review. Articles from 1995 to 2023 were included. Pharmacologic treatment of diabetic retinopathy generally involves the use of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for DME and PDR. Corticosteroids remain important second-line therapies for patients with DME. Most emerging therapies focus on newly identified inflammatory mediators and biochemical signaling pathways involved in disease pathogenesis.
    Expert opinion: Emerging anti-VEGF modalities, integrin antagonists, and anti-inflammatory agents have the potential to improve outcomes with reduced treatment burdens.

    Abstract Foveal hypoplasia is the absence of a foveal depression and the presence of the ganglion cell layer in the foveola. A spectrum of clinical characteristics, including normal or variably decreased visual acuity, has been described in patients with blunted foveal contours. Multiple systemic and ophthalmologic conditions including albinism, aniridia, nanophthalmos, prematurity, and fovea plana have been associated with this anomaly. This article illustrates select clinical conditions characterized by a blunted foveal contour. Given the heterogeneity of findings, a thorough medical history and detailed physical and ocular examinations are usually sufficient for the clinician to make the correct diagnosis.

    Abstract The first successful planned extracapsular cataract extraction was reported by Jacques Daviel in 1752. The history of European cataract surgery in the first half of the 18th century, immediately preceding Daviel's report, contains interesting information that explains the foundations of this accomplishment. Daviel himself credited the prior work of Francois Pourfour du Petit. Other important advances were reported by Michel Brisseau, Antoine Maitre-Jan, Jean Méry and others. A critical insight during this time period was the realization that the cataract was, in fact, the opacified crystalline lens, rather than a membrane or opacity located anterior to the lens.

    Abstract Purpose: This report describes a case of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in an 82-year-old woman who presented with bilateral retinal arteriolar vascular sheathing and vitreous hemorrhage in one eye.
    Methods: The patient underwent a full history, physical examination, genetic workup, and cardiac imaging to establish the diagnosis. Fundus photographs, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography were performed throughout the patient's treatment course.
    Results: Fundus examination demonstrated segmental sheathing of the retinal arterioles, telangiectasias, and intraretinal hemorrhages in both eyes without neovascularization. Fluorescein angiography revealed delayed filling of the nasal retinal arterioles in the right eye with severe temporal nonperfusion and areas hyperfluorescent segmental sheathing in both eyes. Ocular coherence tomography demonstrated retinal vessels with hyperreflective thickened walls. Cardiac amyloid nuclear scan was consistent with transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis amyloid heart disease, and genetic testing confirmed a heterozygous pathogenic transthyretin mutation: c.290 C>A (p.Ser97Tyr) also known as Ser77Tyr.
    Conclusion: Amyloidosis should be considered in the differential of vasculitis and vitreous hemorrhage with or without significant vitreous opacities. Ophthalmologists aware of this diagnosis should complete a full review of systems with specific focus on cardiac history and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy when amyloidosis is in the differential.

    Abstract Endophthalmitis is a rare but vision-threatening infection characterized by marked inflammation of intraocular fluids and tissues, uncommonly seen following surgery and intravitreal injection. Antimicrobials are used worldwide in the prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial and fungal infections of the eye and are standard treatment in the preoperative and postoperative care of surgical patients. However, antimicrobials are reported to be overprescribed in many parts of the world, which contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR complicates the prophylaxis and treatment of endophthalmitis. This article examines the prevalence and mechanisms of AMR in ocular microorganisms, emphasizing the importance of understanding AMR patterns for tailored treatments. It also explores prophylaxis and management strategies for endophthalmitis, with a discussion on the use of intracameral antibiotic administration. The use of prophylactic intracameral antibiotics during cataract surgery is common in many parts of the world but is still controversial in some locations, especially in the US. Finally, it highlights the role of stewardship in ophthalmology and its benefits in the treatment of endophthalmitis.
