Saksens et al1 reported the clinical characteristics and long-term follow-up of dominant cystoid macular dystrophy (DCMD). They identified the association of high axial hyperopia with intraretinal cystoid macular fluid collections (CFC) and implicated a primary dysfunction of Muller cells and/or the retinal pigment epithelium as the cause of CFC. An alternate explanation of the pathophysiology may involve a thick choroid that may occur in hyperopia.2 Increased choroidal thickness may result in increased osmotic pressure causing secondary leakage into the retina via the relatively weak blood–retinal barrier at the optic disc margin.

Watanabe y otros (p. 2103) investigaron el efecto de la severidad de la córnea guttae en la calidad de visión en pacientes con distrofia corneal de Fuchs leve. Encontraron que la córnea guttae — aún sin edema visible en la lámpara de hendidura — tiene un impacto negativo en la en la calidad de visión de los pacientes y que la dispersión frontal de la luz intraocular producida por la guttae puede resultar en problemas visuales. Este estudio de corte transversal incluyó 23 ojos de 14 pacientes con distrofia de Fuchs sin evidencia de edema.
