Macular Star, Optic Disc Swelling, and Lethargy in a Child
A 13-year-old girl with a 7-day history of painless vision loss and central scotoma in her left eye was referred to the hospital. Dilated fundus examination revealed a bilateral sectorial macular star that was more extended in the left eye and some faint, small, tan-yellow dots were observed at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium in the posterior pole.

Vitreous Floaters With New Intravitreal Drugs Administered by Retina Specialists
In this issue of JAMA Ophthalmology, Dessouki and colleagues describe symptomatic silicone oil microdroplets in 16 of 55 patients (29%) receiving pegcetacoplan following a single injection using a Luer lock 1-mL syringe sold by McKesson (16-PS1C). It is not unexpected that silicone oil microdroplets would be noted in some eyes following intravitreal injection because they have been reported in multiple studies for eyes receiving bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept. The remarkable feature in this study is the high percentage of patients with symptomatic floaters after a single injection of pegcetacoplan because in pri...

Bridging the Gap in Adolescent Vision Care Through Schools
Vision screenings play a critical role in detecting children at risk for vision problems. For younger children, screenings are a means of detecting amblyopia risk factors. In school-age children, screenings have the additional benefit of identifying those who may have uncorrected refractive error and need eyeglasses. Recognizing the importance of maintaining good vision, major professional organizations, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend vision screening at periodic intervals, typicall...
