Uveitis is a condition of inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye. This inflammation can be located in the iris, ciliary body, or the choroid or any combination of the three. This inflammation can be considered idiopathic in approximately 50% of individuals if the uveitis is only affecting the iris or the ciliary body. (Kanski). Typically in a patient who has an anterior uveitis episode, the initial episode is considered idiopathic until proven otherwise. However if the patient gets another bout of anterior uveitis then the provider begins to question whether there is some type of underlying immunological component. (Kanski) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disease characterized by hyperandrogenism, absent or sparse ovulation, and multiple cysts on or around the ovaries.1 It affects 4-10% of reproductive-aged women, making it one of the most common female endocrinopathies.1 Up to 70% of women diagnosed with PCOS also experience insulin resistance, which is argued to be either a contributing cause to or a resultant effect of the disease.1 Many in the scientific community have contested that PCOS is a disease of inflammation, characterized by increases in pro-inflammatory markers.1–5

The term ‘‘Meibomian gland disease” is used to describe various disorders of MGs such as congenital lack, neoplastic and inflammatory disorders, replacement distichiasis and MGD. The term has been first coined in the ophthalmic literature by Korb and Henriques in 1980s and it has been defined as a chronic MGD resulting in decreased secretion or poor quality of meibum. Lastly, MGD has been defined by subcommittee of The International Workshop on MGD (IWMGD) in 2011 as ‘’a chronic, diffuse abnormality of the MGs, commonly characterized by terminal duct obstruction and/or qualitative/ quantitative changes in the glandular secretion which may result in alteration of the tear film, clinical apparent inflammation, OSD and symptoms of eye irritation’’.2–4

A 10-year-old patient who presented with a decrease in visual acuity (VA) and left eye (IT) itching of one day of evolution, with no personal history of interest. It does not report trauma or previous personal history of ocular infection. Interrogating the patient reports rubbing in both eyes for a long time. Under slit lamp mixed hyperemia and a large zone of central corneal edema of 5 x 5.5 mm are observed. It looks like a Descemet break located in the central zone. Tyndall or Seidel is not observed, and the anterior chamber appears preserved. The visual acuity that it presents in that eye is from fingers to 20 centimeters (in the right eye, healthy, it is from the unit) (Figure 1).

Syphilis has been called “The Great Masquerader” due to its propensity to affect any organ system and produce a diverse array of signs and symptoms. Ocular syphilis is just one possible expression of this disease. The over whelming majority of patients with syphilis present with a sign or symptom preceding, or in concurrence with, ocular manifestations. These individuals also usually fall into one or more high-risk categories. However, as this case highlights, manifestations can occur solely in the eye and in lower risk populations.

Purpose: is to determine if Sub Threshold Laser at 532 nm can reduce macular thickness in non-central Clinical Significant Macular Edema (CSME) and stop the progression of non-central CSME to central CSME. Methods: 8 eyes in 6 patients were diagnosed with non-central CSME using OCT and were treated with Sub Threshold Laser at 532 nm using 5 % duty cycle using high density low intensity application on the area of the edema, retreatment was allowed with Sub Threshold Laser whenever macular edema worsening. Main outcome and measures: A complete fundus exam including best-corrected visual acuity changes within 24 weeks, improvement of non-central retinal thickness and monitoring glycemic control. Results: Reduction of retinal thickness from 384.5±64.5µm to 311.33±51.7µm at 24 weeks follow up (P<0.05) without changes of best corrected visual acuity along with reduced risk of progression to central CSME and visual loss with no sign of laser burns at the macular area. Conclusion: 532nm subthreshold laser is effective in NON-central CSME treatment for 24 weeks follow up and reduce the risk of visual loss due development of central CSME without causing retinal scars.

Golf is a popular sport that requires coordination, eye-hand coordination, and complex sensory motor skills to judge distance, speed, and conditions such as slope, grass height, and subtle angles and curvatures that can impact ball flight, trajectory, and roll. Experience, acquired skill, and psychological aspects can impact performance. According to the PGA, approximately 40% of all strokes in a given golf round involve putting the ball on the golf green. The art and skill of putting requires complex sensorimotor input for successful execution. This article reviews the contribution of scientific research in vision and its impact on successful putting in the sport of golf. Putting performance is dependent upon determining the proper putter speed required to displace the ball from its resting position to the hole taking into consideration the friction between the ball and grass, the vertical displacement of the hole relative to the ball, the distance the ball must travel to reach the hole, and the direction and magnitude of the break of the green. Vision and proper visual processing by the brain are vital components to successful execution of this complex skill. Electroencephalography studies have demonstrated that expert golfers demonstrate greater stimulation of regions of their brains as compared with novice counterparts, indicating greater sensory information processing.1

Ocular Masquerade Syndrome (OMS) is often misdiagnosed as chronic uveitis, in the other words, OMS is a group disease of the causes of pseudo-uveitis. However, in OMS, cells arise from a non-inflammatory origin (intraocular pigment, blood, or neoplastic cells). The most common features of this entity are bilateral asymmetrical involvement, the presence of aqueous and/ or vitreous cells, older age, history of systemic or ocular malignancy, the absence of other inflammatory signs such as ocular pain, keratic precipitates and synechiae, and initial response and eventual resistance to corticosteroids.2–4 OMS usually points out malignant entities including sebaceous gland carcinoma (meibomian gland carcinoma or sebaceous adenocarcinoma), intraocular and periocular lymphoma, retinoblastoma, diffuse amelanotic ocular melanoma and metastatic tumors to the choroid and retina. The incidence of malignant entities in OMS is 2-8% of cases in a uveitis practice.2–4

Nasopharyngeal cancer is an endemic tumor of the Mediterranean rim. The usual clinical symptoms are dominated by cervical lymphadenopathy, otological and rhinological signs. Ophthalmological involvement is rarely indicative of the tumor and is seen especially at the late stage of the disease. The treatment of choice is radiotherapy associated with concomitant chemotherapy in certain evolved forms. We report a case of cavum cancer that was revealed by ptosis.
