The second discusses ocriplasmin as a novel treatment for foveal schisis in patients with X-linked retinoschisis. The third describes a case of retinal toxicity from sertraline, a common psychiatric drug often sold as name brand Zoloft (Pfizer Inc, New York, NY). The last article shares 10-year results from a blind patient who received the Argus I retinal prosthesis.
