CASE REPORT We report a case of a 30-year-old male with acquired vitelliform detachment (AVD) secondary to cuticular drusen and suffering from metamorphopsia in his right eye. Intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) was administered, achieving successful results. DISCUSSION An independent disease, of unknown genetic phenotype, caused by a generalized dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (...

Vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) is a vitreoretinal interface abnormality. The disorder is caused by incomplete posterior vitreous detachment with persistent traction on the macula that produces symptoms and decreased vision. Most symptomatic eyes with VTS undergo a further decrease in visual acuity. Spontaneous complete vitreomacular separation occurs infrequently in eyes with VTS. Surgic...

Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossified tumor that is found predominantly in healthy young women during their second and third decades of life. The lesions are white-to-cream or orange in color, are located in the peripapillary and macular areas, and are unilateral in most patients. The symptoms of choroidal osteoma include decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia or scotoma corresponding to t...

Epiretinal membrane is avascular fibrous tissue which is adhered to the internal layers of retina in the macular area. Patient may be asymptomatic or present with blurring of vision and metamorphopsia. The idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane is more often seen in elderly but it could be present in young patients in association with other vitreo-retinal diseases and following intraocular surgery. The...

PURPOSE; To assess metamorphopsia in patients with epimacular membrane, using a SLO. METHOD& A SLO wa.s used to project I7 spots on the retina. A first spot considered as a reference appears at a constant place above a central flickering spot. The task consists in moving 15 other spots, appearing one after the other, in order to draw two regular squares as shown in the figure below. ~QQE: C-m o...

CASE REPORT A 25-year-old woman, with metamorphopsia in her left eye of one year onset. The examination revealed a bilateral cystoid macular oedema (CME) and vascular attenuation. We describe the diagnostic tests, as well as differential diagnosis and treatment response with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. DISCUSSION The retinitis pigmentosa sine pigment is a subtype of atypical retinitis pigm...
