BACKGROUND: To investigate the morphologic features of iris in the highly myopic (HM) eyes using a novel swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS: In this retrospective case-control study, 100 eyes of 100 patients scheduled to have cataract surgery were included, categorized into the control (22 mm< AL < 24.5 mm) and HM (AL ≥ 26 mm) groups. Iris volume (IV), area of anterior iris surface (IS), area of posterior IS, and average iris thickness (IT), as well as anterior chamber volume (ACV) and trabecular-iris space at 500 µm (TISA 500) were evaluated using SS-OCT...

OBJECTIVES: To determine the associations between the presence of various-sized hypertransmission defects (hyperTDs) and progression to incomplete retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA) and complete RORA (cRORA) in eyes with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD). METHODS: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) data from consecutive iAMD patients, were retrospectively reviewed. All of iAMD eyes with or without iRORA (but not cRORA) at baseline were included...

OBJECTIVES: This independent prospective study evaluated the short-term effects and safety of photobiomodulation (PBM) in early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration. METHODS: patients were treated with PBM in one eye. Functional parameters and drusen volume were measured at one (W4), three- (W12) and six-months (W24) after PBM. RESULTS: The study included 38 subjects who completed the PBM protocol. Two patients developed macular neovascularization during the study period...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: To describe the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) diagnostic features in patients suspected of experiencing chronic inflammation due to phacoantigenic uveitis SUBJECTS/METHODS: This single-center study enrolled patients referred to the Uveitis Department of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi for chronic anterior uveitis and traumatic cataract. Patients' demographics, causes and dates of the inciting traumatic event, and ophthalmic findings were recorded. 20-MHz UBM assessment of the status of the anterior capsule and the crystalline lens was performed...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To examine the clinical characteristics, risk factors and outcomes of contact lens-related bacterial keratitis (CLBK) in a large UK tertiary referral centre. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all patients who presented to the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK, with suspected CLBK between October 2015 to September 2022 (a 7-year period) was performed. Relevant data on demographic factors, CL wear behaviour, causes, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were analysed...

OBJECTIVES: To compare the 2-year efficacy and safety of various anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) regimens for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). METHODS: A comprehensive search was performed on multiple electronic databases up to April 2023 and updated in June 2024, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Key outcomes included the proportion of patients achieving a vision gain of ≥15 letters and maintaining stable vision (loss of <15 letters) in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), changes in mean BCVA from baseline, serious ocular adverse events (SAEs), adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation and any cause of death at 2 years...

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the prognostic factors for visual acuity in acute retinal necrosis (ARN) patients treated non-surgically. METHODS: The clinical data of ARN patients who visited our hospital from January 2010 to January 2023 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients (29 eyes) were included. Aqueous humour samples were collected from 20 out of 29 eyes, and PCR confirmed that 85% (17/20) of the eyes had VZV infection, 10% (2/20) had CMV infection, and 5% (1/20) had HSV infection...

PURPOSE: To describe the postoperative outcomes of eyes with primary full-thickness macular holes (MH) greater than 650 μm. DESIGN: Retrospective, monocentric, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with primary MH operated at Lariboisière Hospital, Paris, France. METHODS: Records of patients with MH with a minimum horizontal diameter greater than 650 μm that underwent primary surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (complete or with inverted ILM flap) between January 2010 and January 2022 were reviewed...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The predictive factors of surgical results in uveitic retinal detachment (RD) are lacking. The objective was to study the surgical outcomes and determine the risk factors for surgical failure in rhegmatogenous RD associated with intraocular inflammation (RRDIOI). METHODS: Retrospective series of consecutive eyes with RRDIOI undergoing vitreoretinal surgery between 2012 and 2019 in two French referral centres. Patients underwent 23- or 25 G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), scleral buckling (SB), or a combination of both...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The Government of Kerala initiated a pilot screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in 16 Family Health Centres in Thiruvananthapuram district in 2019 in collaboration with the ORNATE India project. The evaluation of this pilot included a study of its costs and cost-effectiveness to inform decisions about extending the programme throughout Kerala. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The participants comprise all 5307 people who were screened for diabetic retinopathy under the pilot programme for whom data could be collected...

OBJECTIVES: To study the density, spacing, and regularity of retinal cone photoreceptors using an Adaptive Optics (AO) retinal camera (Rtx1TM , Imagine Eyes, Orsay, France) in patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and to compare the outcomes with those of healthy age-matched control subjects. METHODS: The study included 43 eyes with POAG and 31 eyes of normal subjects. POAG patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of the visual field defect...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The use of mobile ophthalmology applications (MOA) is increasing, but many of these tools have not been validated. This study was performed to assess the accuracy of a popular MOA, Eye Handbook, in measuring five commonly-tested vision assessment parameters (distance visual acuity (DVA), near visual acuity (NVA), colour vision testing (CVT), contrast sensitivity (CS), and pupillary distance (PD)) was compared with traditional vision assessment methods (TVAM) [i...
