Abstract
PURPOSE To report a rare case of pattern dystrophy-like retinal changes in a young β-thalassemia major patient with a very high serum ferritin level. METHODS Observational case report of a β-thalassemia major patient with bilateral pattern dystrophy-like retinal changes. RESULTS An 18-year-old man experienced blurring of vision in both eyes. Patient had a very high serum ferritin level and had a history of using various iron-chelating drugs. Funduscopy revealed bilateral widespread retinal pigment epithelium changes with macular involvement, which resembled pattern dystrophy-like changes. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed extensive area of decreased autofluorescence signal interspersed with increased autofluorescence signals, whereas optical coherence tomography demonstrated macular retinal pigment epithelium thinning and interdigitation zone disruption corresponding to retinal pigment epithelium damage and atrophy. CONCLUSION Pattern dystrophy-like changes should be considered as a possible manifestation of retinal changes in patients with β-thalassemia major. Iron overload, which is indicated by a very high serum ferritin level, might have a role in the formation of this rare retinal manifestation in β-thalassemia major.

Abstract
This case report aims to describe the first report of bilateral aseptic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) with a recent history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination. A 50-year-old woman presented with bilateral proptosis, decreased vision, and ophthalmoplegia 16 days following CoronaVac® vaccine. The visual acuity of the left eye was 20/150, while the right eye was no light perception with a hyperemic optic nerve head. She had a history of hyperthyroidism and currently on warfarin consumption. Laboratory results depicted elevated free T4, free T3, international normalized ratio, and low protein S and C. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral CST, and high-dose methylprednisolone along with fondaparinux was given. The symptoms were significantly resolved, with the visual acuity of the left eye being improved to 20/20 but not the right eye. Bilateral CST has not been previously reported following inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The underlying systemic conditions should be taken into consideration for the possibility of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related event.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of citicoline administration in suppressing retinal damage due to methanol intoxication. This study hypothesizes that citicoline will minimize the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), minimize disruption of photoreceptors, suppress ganglion layer edema, increase expression of bcl-2 as the antiapoptotic protein, and decrease expression of caspase-3 as the proapoptotic protein. Methods: Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups, including the control group (A); methanol groups, observed on day 3 (B1) and day 7 (B2); and methanol+citicoline groups, observed on day 3 (C1) and day 7 (C2). Rats in groups B and C were placed in an inhalation chamber filled with N2O:O2 during the experiment, then methanol was administered orally. Citicoline, 1 g/kg every 24 h, was orally administered for group C. Enucleation was performed and retinas of rats were prepared for histology and immunohistochemistry examination to evaluate photoreceptor morphology and RGC density, as well as bcl-2 and caspase-3 expression. Results: RGC density of citicoline-treated intoxicated rats was higher than no-citicoline methanol-intoxicated rats on both day 3 (P < 0.001) and day 7 (P < 0.001). The ganglion layer thickness of citicoline-treated intoxicated rats was thinner than no-citicoline intoxicated rats, which means citicoline-treated rats had milder ganglion layer edema. Citicoline-treated rats showed higher bcl-2 and lower caspase-3 expression than no-citicoline rats. No differences were found in photoreceptor findings among groups. Conclusions: This study demonstrated citicoline's potential benefits for management of ocular methanol intoxication. However, more preclinical and clinical trials are needed to obtain a preferred dosage and timing of citicoline administration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate retinal changes in β-thalassemia major patients and identify their association with systemic risk factors. METHODS In this prospective study, 120 β-thalassemia major patients received complete ophthalmic examinations (best-corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, color vision, and indirect ophthalmoscopy) and retinal imaging using color fundus photography and fundus autofluorescence imaging. Patients were grouped according to the presence of thalassemia-related retinal changes. The association between systemic risk factors (age, type and duration of iron chelator use, history of splenectomy, hemoglobin level, and ferritin level) and thalassemia-related retinal changes was investigated using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Thalassemia-related retinal changes were identified in 36.7% of patients. Several distinct retinal changes were observed, including retinal refractile bodies in 10% of patients and retinal hemorrhage in 5.8% of patients. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed abnormal patterns in 36.3% of patients with thalassemia-related retinal changes and 18.4% of patients without thalassemia-related retinal changes. Age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.18) and ferritin level (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.01-1.33) were associated with thalassemia-related retinal changes. CONCLUSION Novel retinal changes were observed in β-thalassemia major patients. This study identified older age and higher ferritin level as risk factors for thalassemia-related retinal changes.

Abstract
Graves' ophthalmopathy is the most common extra-thyroid manifestation in patients with Graves' disease, based on inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in orbital tissue. This practical guideline was formed by a multidiciplinary team, and is intended to provide guidance for diagnosis and management of Graves' ophthalmopathy in daily clinical practice to improve quality of care and treatment outcome.
