Comorbidity of Ocular and Facial Demodicosis
Demodex mites are saprophytic ectoparasites that reside in pilosebaceous units. Among the genus Demodex, only two species, Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, are found on human skin, preferably in the facial skin and eyelids.1,2 While D. folliculorum resides mainly in the follicular infundibulum, D. brevis burrows in the deeper sebaceous glands.3 Overgrowth of these mites may results in "demodicosis", an immunological or allergic condition.4 (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Noninfectious Uveitis Risk After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study
Since the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, a rapid surge in the number of cases during the initial outbreak precipitated the prompt development and distribution of vaccines for the general population. As of April 2023, 69.8% of the world's population has received ≥1 dose of a COVID-19 vaccine,1 and in the Republic of Korea, 87.6% of the population (approximately 44.8 million individuals) has received ≥1 dose.2 (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Surgical resection of a retinal pigment epithelium adenoma with exudative retinal detachment
A 46-year-old woman was referred to Hiroshima University Hospital with a left intraocular tumor. On examination, her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/15 in the right eye and 20/50 in the left. In the superotemporal quadrant, there was a deeply pigmented mass (4.0 mm (horizontal) × 4.5 mm (vertical) × 3.0 mm (height)) with dilated retinal feeder vessels, surrounded by lipid exudation. The mass was associated with vitreomacular traction with subretinal fluid and tractional retinal detachment inferiorly. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Topographic Correlation of Microperimetry with Structural Characteristics in Diabetic Macular Ischemia
The global burden of diabetes-related visual impairment is increasing with the rising prevalence of diabetes.1 Diabetic macular ischemia (DMI), defined as an enlarged foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and/or parafoveal capillary nonperfusion, is a cause of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy (DR).2,3 The prevalence of DMI increases as the severity of DR worsens, with the highest prevalence (77%) reported in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).4 Currently, there are no treatment options for DMI.5-7 As novel interventions are being interrogated (NCT04424290 and NCT04919499 in clinical trials.gov), a functional endpoint that p...
