Our 3 featured images in November were captured by Nicole Knight, Tiffany Del Rio and Jerome Cole! 🏆📷

👁️ Image #1 is an ultrasound photo of an Exudative Retinal Detachment. This B scan was captured by Nicole Knight. A B scan is an ultrasound image that is created by a 2D cross-sectional picture of an internal body structure. This scan uses sound waves to detect problems such as a retinal detachment. Exudative retinal detachments form when fluid is leaked out of blood vessels and accumulates under the retina. This type of retinal detachment is much less common and can occur in eyes with abnormal inflammation or excessive leakage from abnormal blood vessels.

👁️ Image #2 is a photo of an Inactive Stable Serpiginous Lesions captured by Tiffany Del Rio. These findings can be associated with Serpiginous Chorioretinitis and Uveitis. She captured this image by capturing an auto fluorescence and color fundus photo. Uveitis is a condition characterized by inflammation in the eye. Symptoms of uveitis can vary based on the location of predominant inflammation. About 40% of uveitis cases may not have an underlying case (idiopathic).

👁️ Image #3 is a Vitreous Hemorrhage and Neovascularization Elsewhere (NVE) captured by Jerome Cole. This can be commonly seen in patients diagnosed with Severe Diabetic Retinopathy. This photo was taken using our OPTOS Camera. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common causes of vision loss. High blood sugar levels cause damage to the small blood vessels in the retina.

🎄The holidays are full of excitement — from family gatherings and travel to shopping and gift prep, there’s a lot going on. All that activity can put extra strain on your eyes. Stress can cause dryness, light sensitivity, blurry vision, and can even make certain retinal symptoms more noticeable.

This season, take time to rest, prioritize what matters, and listen to your eyes. If you notice new or concerning vision changes — like floaters, flashes, dark spots, or blurry areas — please see your regular eye doctor immediately. Protecting your eyes is an important gift to yourself this holiday season! 👁️🎁
