Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic of ocular fundus complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods In 25 cases of SLE with the ocular fundus complications, the ocular fundus, the other ocular tissues, general lesions,and antinuclear antibody (ANA ), anti-double-stranded DNA(anti-dsDNA), complement 3 (C3), complement 4 (C4)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 25 cases, “classic” SLE retinopathy in 15 (25 eyes), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in 9 (12 eyes), RVO combined with retinal arter y occlusion in 1 (2 eyes), exudative retinal detachment in 1 (2 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage combined with neovascular glaucoma in 1 (1 eye), and optic discedem a except RVO in 3 (6 eyes) were found. Nine cases accompanied with other ocular signs and 21 with general lesions. Positive ANA and anti-dsDNA and elevated ESR in all of the patients, decreasing C3 in 19, and C4in 17 were found.Conclusions SLE can cause serious ocular fundus complications accompanied with other ocular signs. Regular ophthalmic examination should be performed on the patients with SLE to detect and treat the ocular complications promptly. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2004,20:206-208)
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscope for retinal detachment. Method Images of ocular fundus of the patients with retinal detachment were obtained by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, which were compared with the results of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). The extent of the retinal detachment, the occurrence of retinal hole or not, and the proliferation were observed. Any discrepancies of the results of the two methods were then analyzed. Results In the images from 75 eyes of 71 patients with retinal detachments which were obtained by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, recurrent retinal detachments was found in 3 patients (3 eyes), single retinal detachment was in 13 patients (16 eyes) inc luding intercurrent retinal cyst in 1 patient (1 eye), intercurrent retinal hole was in 43 patients (43 eyes), and intercurrent pre-or sub-retinal proliferation was in 14 patients (15 eyes) (4 eyes having retinal hole simultaneously). The results of panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and BIO were accordant in 53 patients (56 eyes) and inconsistent in 18 patients (19 eyes) due to the loss of peripheral small retinal holes by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalm oscopy. The results of the follow-up examination of 16 patients were accordant with the clinical records. Conclusion Panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscope has the advantages of non-mydriasis, speediness, and wide view field, and can save external records and provide high-resolution images; it is a valuable diagnosis method for retinal detachment.

The COVID-19 causes multiple organ dysfunction such as respiratory system, meanwhile it causes ocular fundus diseases threatening visual function. The occurrence of COVID-19 related fundus diseases is associated with retinal capillary ischemia, thrombosis, and immune inflammatory response. COVID-19 related fundus diseases mainly include cotton wool spots and microhaemorrhages, retinal vascular occlusion, paracentral acute middle maculopathy, acute macular neuroretinopathy, uveitis, and endogenous endophthalmitis. We will summarize the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 related fundus diseases based on literature reports and clinical practice, and share some thoughts on its diagnosis and treatment.
