ACUTE UNILATERAL VISION LOSS
At first, diagrammatic representation of acute unilateral vision loss is given. Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) is then discussed which is painless whereas acute congestive glaucoma is a painful condition. Treatment modalities include AC paracentesis, diamox, selective ophthalmic artery catheterisation.

ACUTE OPTIC NEUROPATHY
Differential diagnosis of acute optic neuropathy is discussed with the help of a schematic approach by categorizing old and young patients into two different groups. Prevalence of optic neuritis is high in females between the age of 20-50 years. Proceeding further, Dr. Hina Khan talks about treatment and tells that these treatment do not have long term effects.

ANTERIOR ISCHEMIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY
In the beginning of this section, causes of non-arteritic AION, such as crowded disk, are pursued. After that, information about arteritic AION is delivered. Following this, vitreous haemorrhage is highlighted which can be due to retinal vein occlusion, retinal microaneurysm.
