A new study suggests that COVID-19 may impact retinal health, with decreased vascularity and a larger foveal avascular zone (FAZ) during the acute phase of infection. Researchers believe these changes could affect long-term vision, highlighting the need for careful follow-up.

April Image of the Month: Retinal Capillary Hemangioma, provided by Florida Retina Institute. In this photo, we see a solitary retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (RCH), which is a rare, benign vascular tumor most commonly associated with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. These tumors are often the first sign of VHL, and further work up in coordination with a multidisciplinary team is necessary to screen for cerebellar hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, or other tumors. The clinical course of an RCH is quite variable – some grow, some stay stable, and others can even spontaneously shrink. Moreover, they can exude lipid, causing vision changes, or can contract, leading to retinal detachment. Depending on their trajectory, the retina specialist may recommend observation, laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, or surgical excision. New treatments for VHL show signs that they may shrink these tumors. Keep an EYE out for next month's featured image!
