Climber post-High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema

(HAPE): 6/6 vision, but retinal hemorrhages with
white centers-true Roth spots.
altitude retinopathy.
Roth spots signal systemic endothelial injury, hypoxia plugs, or hidden hematologic issues. HAPE alone doesn't explain-investigate systematically.

Work-Up Plan

•Hematologic: CBC, smear, platelets, PT/INR, aPTT
•Inflammatory/Infective: ESR/CRP, blood cultures
(if febrile), HIV if indicated
•Metabolic: Glucose/HbA1c, renal/liver tests
•Cardiac (if needed): ECG ± echo

Ocular Follow-Up
•Repeat fundus/OCT in 4-6 weeks
•Alert for detachment symptoms

Pearl: Roth spots = systemic red flag. Never assume-always work up!

This patient was referred to us with severe inflammation and elevated IOP with a retained nucleus in the anterior chamber after phacoemulsification surgery.

That's why it's never just "any other quick surgery." It's a life-changing one, hopefully for the better, but sometimes complications are inevitable.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is the most common type of retinal detachment, characterized by the separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium due to a retinal break or tear. This allows vitreous humor to seep underneath the retina, causing detachment.

Symptoms:

- Bright flashes of light, especially in peripheral vision
- Blurred vision
- New floaters in the eye that appear suddenly
- Shadows or decreased peripheral vision similar to a curtain or shadow falling over the visual field

Causes:

- Aging
- Ocular trauma
- Eye surgery
- High myopia
- Peripheral degenerations
- Ocular injuries

Treatment:

- Urgent surgery to prevent permanent vision loss
- Surgical options:
- Vitrectomy
- Scleral buckling
- Pneumatic retinopexy
- Laser photocoagulation

Prevention:

- Regular eye exams, especially in patients with risk factors
- Eye protection in high-risk activities
- Prompt attention to initial symptoms

How Different Animals See the World (Vision Comparison)

Have you ever wondered how animals see the world compared to humans? Vision isn’t the same for every species — it’s shaped by evolution, survival, and environment. This visual comparison shows how humans, dogs, and bees perceive the same scene in dramatically different ways.

Humans have trichromatic vision, meaning we see red, green, and blue light. This allows us to experience rich colors, sharp details, and vibrant landscapes. Our vision is optimized for daylight, recognizing faces, and interpreting complex visual information.

Dogs, on the other hand, have dichromatic vision. They primarily see shades of blue and yellow, while reds and greens appear muted or grayish. Although dogs see fewer colors, they excel at detecting motion and seeing better in low light — perfect for hunting and tracking.

Bees experience the world in an entirely different way. They can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which is invisible to humans. Flowers that look ordinary to us often display striking UV patterns to bees, guiding them directly to nectar. These patterns are essential for pollination and plant survival.

This comparison is an approximate scientific representation, since humans cannot directly see ultraviolet light. Still, it reveals an incredible truth: reality depends on perception.

Understanding animal vision helps scientists improve wildlife conservation, veterinary medicine, AI vision systems, and even medical imaging technology.

Epicapsular stars: a rare and benign finding

What you see in these images are epicapsular stars: small, star-shaped, whitish deposits attached to the anterior lens capsule. They're rare, striking, and often an incidental finding. This case has a peculiar shape. 🔍

What are they really? They're not just "pretty" crystals. They're deposits of still-not-fully-understood origin, independent of the lens, and with no visual impact in most cases.

Do they cause symptoms? Generally, no. Vision is usually completely normal. Their importance is more diagnostic and academic than clinical.

Do they need treatment? No. They don't progress, don't degenerate, and don't require specific follow-up if there's no other associated pathology.
