January Image of the Month features a Subretinal Hemorrhage from Wet Macular Degeneration.

In this color photograph, we see a large hemorrhage under the retina caused by an abnormal blood vessel growing in the center of the retina, which in this case, we call wet macular degeneration. The hemorrhage damages the photoreceptors of the retina, which is why this is such a devastating disease for patients. As retina specialists, we try to prevent this from occurring by close monitoring of at-risk patients. While we do not have any medicines that reverse the damage caused by the blood, we do have several powerful medicines that can shrink the abnormal blood vessel with regular treatment.

December Image of the Month features a Choroidal Metastasis. In this color fundus photo we see what looks like two adjoining choroidal lesions, one closer to the nerve, and a larger one in the nasal aspect of the retina. The yellow color and multiple foci are a classic presentation of metastasis to the choroid. Though the choroid is a very small organ, it is estimated to have the most frequent site of metastasis, if adjusted by weight. If the primary cancer is known, the appearance of these lesions suggest a relapse, and the retina specialist must coordinate with the patient's oncology team. If the primary cancer is unknown, the retina specialist must recommend all the age-appropriate screenings for the patients. Most commonly, tumors of the breast, lung, and GI systems mestastasize. In a small fraction of patients, the primary cancer is never identified.

Living with diabetes means managing a lot, but don’t overlook your eyes. High blood sugar can quietly damage your retina before you notice vision changes. A yearly retina exam, or dilated fundus exam, helps catch problems early and protect your sight.
