Dome-shaped macula (DSM) is a morphological feature outlined through the use of optical coherence tomography and characterized by an inward or anterior deviation of the macula with respect to chorioretinal concavity. Currently, there is no validated therapy for serous retinal detachment secondary to DSM. The authors report a case of childhood unilateral DSM in a hyperopic eye with normal axial length that was complicated with subretinal fluid (SRF). Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors may be an acceptable and safer option for patients presented with nonresolving SRF associated with DSM. Further randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm the efficacy of this therapeutic approach.

The authors report adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO) findings in a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. The right eye showed an island of coarse, hyperreflective speckles surrounded by a dark annulus lacking cone cells, which were associated with reduced MP1 sensitivity and abnormal findings in other imaging modalities. Although dark lesions were also detected in the left eye, the correlated spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were normal. AO-SLO allowed for the direct observation of retinal disruptions and the ability of this technology to detect abnormalities in the left eye demonstrates a superior ability for in-depth retinal imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
