Delighted to share our article published in the Kerala Journal of Ophthalmology — “Spontaneous resolution of a full thickness macular hole in treated diabetic macular edema.”

Grateful to have worked under the guidance of the legendary senior retina surgeon Dr. A. Giridhar Giridhar Eye Institute, along with my colleague and friend Dr. Kiran Chandran.

A memorable academic milestone and a great learning experience in the fascinating field of medical retina.

To all the incredible nurses in ophthalmology and beyond, thank you for being the backbone of patient care. 💙

A rare diagnosis uncovered through careful clinical investigation.

A patient presenting with flu-like symptoms, severe headache, and sudden visual field loss was initially found to have a branch retinal artery occlusion and multifocal white matter infarcts on MRI. As visual symptoms progressed and hearing loss developed, repeat imaging revealed corpus callosum lesions. Fluorescein angiography showed arterial wall hyperfluorescence in the left eye — a key clue leading to the diagnosis of Susac syndrome. With the classic triad of branch retinal artery occlusion, hearing loss, and encephalopathy, the patient was treated with rituximab, steroids, and IVIG. At follow-up, vision remained 20/20 with a stable residual scotoma. This case highlights the importance of recognizing subtle ophthalmic findings that can reveal complex systemic disease.

Floaters are common—but not always harmless.
Those tiny specks or cobwebs in your vision may simply be age-related changes in the vitreous… or an early warning sign of retinal pathology.

👁️ Sudden increase in floaters? Flashes of light? Don’t ignore.
Early evaluation can protect vision.

👁️ Are straight lines looking wavy? Don’t ignore this!

This simple test (Amsler Grid) can help detect early signs of vision problems like Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

✅ Check your vision in 10 seconds
✅ Cover one eye & focus on the center dot
⚠️ If lines look bent, blurred, or missing → get your eyes checked immediately

Early detection can SAVE your vision.

Blurred central vision or a dark spot? 👁️⚠️
Could be CSCR (Central Serous Chorioretinopathy).

Often linked to stress & steroids.
Most recover—but don’t ignore symptoms.

Do straight lines look wavy? 👁️⚠️
It might not be “just age.”

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) affects the macula — the part of your retina responsible for sharp, central vision.

🔍 Watch out for these symptoms:
• Blurred or distorted central vision
• Difficulty reading
• Faces appearing unclear
• Straight lines looking wavy

👤 Who is at risk?
Common after 50, especially with smoking, diabetes, or family history.

💉 The good news?
Early detection can help preserve vision. Timely treatment can slow progression.

🚨 Simple self-test:
Look at a grid (Amsler grid) with one eye at a time.
If lines appear distorted → don’t delay your eye check-up.
