Introduction: Juxtapapillary laser (JPL) photocoagulation in the region of the papillomacular bundle, temporal to the optic nerve, has become routine care in disorders such as optic disc pit maculopathy. Despite evidence demonstrating safe and effective use of this approach, there is still a lack of consensus in the literature, due to the perceived risk of loss of visual function. Instances of such misplaced caution could result in inadequate treatment protocols. Methods: An observational series of five cases of optic disc pit maculopathy, treated with dense temporal juxtapapillary endolaser, in a single tertiary ophthalmic hospital. Results: None of the reported cases of optic disc pit maculopathy treated with dense juxtapapillary laser demonstrated anatomical or perimetric findings consistent with nerve fiber layer damage in the region of the papillomacular bundle. Conclusions: This series demonstrates that dense laser photocoagulation, in the vicinity of the papillomacular bundle, does not cause structural damage to the nerve fiber layer or associated loss of visual function in optic disc pit maculopathy. Appropriate application of juxtapapillary laser is a safe and effective treatment for various macular pathologies.

Inflammation originating from infection of the vitreous cavity is called endophthalmitis. Attention has been focused on the epidemiologic, microbiologic reports, and treatment options; unfortunately, the role of the host immune reaction in the visual function damage is still not well understood. Endophthalmitis occurs most frequently after cataract surgery. In this paper we review the published literature regarding inflammatory mediators and apoptosis during the course of endophthalmitis. Toll-like receptors, cytokines, high-mobility group box 1 proteins, aB-crystallin and apoptosis have been studied during clinical and experimental cases of endophthalmitis. Further understanding of the host-immune reaction to vitreous infection is essential for the development of new therapies. The use of intravitreal antibiotics and corticosteroids, vitrectomy and systemic antibiotics for the preservation of visual function is still discouraging.
