Complete resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome following external globe manipulation
A healthy 63-year-old female presented with a central scintillating scotoma and decreased visual acuity in both eyes. On examination, both eyes revealed blunted foveal reflexes. Corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated vitreomacular traction (VMT) in both eyes (Figures 1A, 1B). Under the guidance of a vitreoretinal specialist, the patient practiced an external, slow eye press-and-release maneuver four times per day in both eyes for 30 days.

“Inner choroidal fibrosis: An optical coherence tomography biomarker of severity in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy”
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is usually a self-resolving disease affecting the macula, characterized by accumulation of subretinal fluid (SRF) with or without a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment.1 In eyes where the SRF doesn't resolve spontaneously, multiple treatment options are available that can lead to prompt resolution of the disease.1 However, despite multiple interventions, a small subset of eyes develops a chronic or recurrent form of the disease, which eventually leads to irreversible vision loss.

Will the new anti-myopia spectacles be the standard of care in future?
Reports of myopia increases across the world show an expanding growing public health problem. Myopia prevalence is exceptionally high in some continents, especially in Asia particularly east Asian countries, but was also reported to have increased in other continents, such as North America and Europe, although there is considerable variation between geographic areas and racial groups in the myopia burden.1 –3 The presence of myopia, especially high myopia increases the risk of development of pathological myopia and visual impairment.

Regulation of ophthalmic ocular hypotensive drug approval in the US over the past 140 years
Legislation passed by the U.S. Congress is often reactive to events, rather than proactive in preventing such events. For example, the Securities and Exchange Acts of 1933 and 1934 requiring financial disclosures were reactive to the “Black Monday” stock market crash of 1929, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandating corporate responsibility was reactive to the Enron corporate scandal in 2001. In the same way, much of U.S. Food and Drug Law has been, reactive to public health events. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Corneal Guttae Alone Do Not Make A Diagnosis of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
We think that the observation of scattered corneal guttae on slit lamp examination does not necessarily indicate the patient has a diagnosis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). But somehow, over the years, the finding of cornea guttata alone has become synonymous with this diagnosis. In our opinion, this is wrong and even cavalier.
