Choroideremia is a rare retinal dystrophy (OMIM #303100; prevalence 1/50 000) with progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, choriocapillaris, and concomitant loss of photoreceptors. As development of therapies highlights the need for fine markers in this disease, we have investigated a large patient series by examining the cone density and progression of the atrophy in the central islet through adaptive optics and retinal autofluorescence, respectively.

Cataract is a common cause of avoidable blindness in children globally. Gender differences in service access among children are reported for several conditions, but not for surgery for bilateral cataract.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) recently was reclassified to reflect the underlying cause as a complement-mediated and immune complex-mediated disease. This classification is based on renal biopsy immunofluorescence examination, making the former electron-microscopy classification obsolete. In this report, we describe related eye findings in patients with MPGN based on the new classification.
