Blindness Awareness Month is a reminder that independence can look different for everyone.

A white cane is more than a mobility tool — it can represent confidence, navigation, safety, and the ability to move through the world with greater freedom.

This month, we recognize people living with blindness and low vision, and we continue to support access to the eye care, resources, and treatment that can help protect sight whenever possible.

If professionalism and ethics are essential for quality ophthalmic care, why are they sometimes challenging to teach through traditional lectures alone?

Reserve your spot for our Faculty Development Webinar, Teaching Professionalism & Ethics in Ophthalmology Residency, to learn how Case-Based Learning (CBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) can build ethical reasoning, reflective practice, and professional behavior in residents.

During this session, you’ll learn about practical teaching strategies, sample ophthalmic ethical scenarios, and simple tools to assess and reinforce professionalism in everyday training.

Two sessions are offered: 10 June and 17 June 2026. The same content will be delivered in both webinars. Choose the time that works best for your schedule.

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.
