A 73-year-old woman was referred for macular degeneration. She had gray-black deposits in the central macula seen on pseudocolor fundus imaging (A). Fundus autofluorescence showed minimal altered autofluorescence in the fovea (B). OCT demonstrated hyperreflective drusenoid pigment epithelial detachments (C). External examination showed graying of temporal sclera bilaterally within the palpebral fissure (D). She had previously taken 100 to 200 mg of minocycline daily for several years, discontinued 2 years before examination. She was diagnosed with minocycline-induced retinal pigment epithelium and scleral hyperpigmentation. Minocycline is oxidized by ultraviolet light into a unique black melaninlike compound that also tightly binds to iron. It is possible that this patient has age-related macular degeneration and the altered retinal pigment epithelium is predisposed to accumulating the abnormal melanin-like pigment. ow.ly/nilR50Z4jN2 #ophthalmology #retina

Haveria silêncio à noite não fosse pelo pranto de um bêbado. Diariamente macula a sacra quietude lamentando a morte da amada. Desconheço-a, mas sinto junto de meu estranho vizinho ébrio falta daquela cujo nome grava as sepulturas. Seu desespero, tão genuíno que me causa piedade.

"There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula” I was trying to identify some pine cones today when I came across these cones on a search for the word spine/cone.

Eggs are a great package deal when it comes to eye-friendly nutrients. The zinc in an egg will help your body use the lutein and zeaxanthin from its yolk. The yellow-orange color of these compounds blocks harmful blue light from damaging your retina. They help boost the amount of protective pigment in the macula, the part of your eye that controls central vision. Find out more about foods that are good for your eyes: wb.md/4aI0WmI
