Why do atrophic holes in lattice degeneration carry lower detachment risk than a flap tear?
Atrophic holes arise from gradual tissue thinning and breakdown, whereas a flap or horseshoe tear results from acute vitreous traction pulling the retina open.
Lattice Degeneration With Holes: When Atrophic Retina Comes With Ready-Made Breaks
What is bayoneting of a retinal vessel at the optic disc?
Bayoneting describes a vessel that passes over the edge of an excavated cup and plunges steeply, bending at the rim and again at the base like a bayonet.
Bayoneting and Nasalization of Optic Disc Vessels: Structural Signs of Rim Loss in Glaucoma
Which topical drops are used for maintenance control in limbal vernal keratoconjunctivitis?
Maintenance control uses topical antihistamine and mast cell stabiliser combination drops, with topical corticosteroids reserved for acute flares.
Limbal Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis: Horner-Trantas Dots and a Different Pattern of Severe Allergy
On fluorescein angiography, how do retinal microaneurysms differ from dot hemorrhages?
The two cannot be separated reliably by examination, but angiography shows microaneurysms as early hyperfluorescent dots while hemorrhages block fluorescence.
Retinal Microaneurysms: Signs, Causes and Imaging
Which property set explains amniotic membrane's usefulness across different ocular surface diseases?
The membrane supplies a basement membrane that supports epithelial migration and adhesion, and carries anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring and anti-angiogenic properties.
Amniotic Membrane Transplantation: One Tissue, Several Different Jobs on the Ocular Surface
When does the uveitis of leptospirosis typically appear?
The ocular phase is delayed, developing weeks or sometimes longer after the fever, which is why the systemic illness may have been mild or forgotten by the time the eye is inflamed.
Leptospirosis Uveitis: The Delayed Intraocular Inflammation After Weil Disease
Which treatment may be less effective in angle recession glaucoma than in untraumatised eyes?
Given the underlying trabecular meshwork scarring, selective laser trabeculoplasty may be somewhat less effective than in eyes without traumatic angle injury.
Angle Recession Glaucoma: The Delayed Consequence of Blunt Eye Trauma
What mechanism produces retinal haemorrhages during birth?
Compression of the head in the birth canal raises intracranial and venous pressure suddenly, and newborn retinal veins, which are poorly supported, rupture and leak.
