This 52YO diabetic male rodent has a history of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and full panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). Vision was stable at 20/30.
Optos color RGB imaging shows full PRP scarring. The macula is clinically ischemic with some vascular sheathing. Triton swept-source OCT shows nasal and central atrophy consistent with Mickey Mouse Maculopathy (MMM).
Created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, Mickey Mouse celebrates his birthday on November 18th. This date commemorates his first appearance in the animated short film “Steamboat Willie” in 1928, famous for Mickey’s debut and for its synchronized sound.
On January 1, 2024, the famous mouse entered the public domain, allowing anyone to use this version of the character in their creative works without needing Disney’s permission or payment. However, Disney still retains the copyright on any subsequent variations of Mickey until they reach the 95-year mark.
