Diabetic macular edema: OCT retinal biomarkers as predictive factors of treatment response and long-term visual outcome
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working-aged people worldwide[1]. Diabetic macular edema (DME) occurs in nearly 12% of patients with DR and represents a frequent complication of diabetes resulting from disruption of blood-retinal barrier and accumulation of fluid in the retina, which can lead to significant central visual loss if left untreated[2].

Rickettsial retinitis
Rickettsial infections are caused by a variety of obligate intracellular, Gram-negative bacteria. Ocular involvement is common but often asymptomatic. All ocular structures can be involved, but posterior segment involvement is more common and most severe. Common posterior segment manifestations are inner retinitis with associated vasculitis and mild vitritis. There are various speculations regarding the pathogenesis of rickettsial retinitis. The cotton wool spot-like retinal lesions could result from intraretinal multiplication of organisms or alternatively due to immune complex deposition along retinal vessels.

She had a h/o Ca right breast treated with mastectomy 13 years back & was prescribed letrozole(AROMATASE INHIBITOR) 2.5mg OD as she had tested ER +ve. Anterior segment showed cells in AC & anterior vitreous face. Posterior segment revealed disc & macular edema. OCT also showed disc edema & CME. LE examination was WNL. Systemic investigations were WNL. She was asked to stop letrozole after oncology consultation & was prescribed topical prednisolone & nepafenac.
