INTRODUCTION: To describe a novel surgical approach in the management of subluxated cataracts. METHODS: A 70-year-old Caucasian male with a subluxated cataract in the left eye was referred to our clinic at the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna- Ophthalmology Unit. The ophthalmic examination revealed a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/200 in the left eye with monocular diplopia and a severely subluxated NO6/NC6 cataract and the fundus examination did not reveal any vitreoretinal abnormalities...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the viability and precision of measuring the distance from the limbus to extraocular muscle insertion using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and panoramic ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) before and after strabismus surgery. METHODS: We recruited primary strabismus patients and measured the limbus-insertion distance by AS-OCT and UBM preoperatively, 2 weeks, and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Values were also measured using callipers intraoperatively before and after the planned procedures...

PURPOSE: To describe the retinal vascular changes in birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to compare them with changes in macular thickness. METHODS: In this multicenter study, patients with a diagnosis of BSCR and a positive HLA-A29 underwent fluorescein angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and OCTA.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Ying Zhang, Yuan Yuan, Ruyi Zhao, Wei Tan
INTRODUCTION: Panuveitis is a serious inflammatory disease. Setae are fibers produced by many insects and plants. Many case reports have described caterpillar and spider fibers entering the eye. These hairs are covered with tiny barbs that help them enter and migrate into the eye tissue, leading to severe inflammation. Normally, they are buried mainly in the conjunctiva and cornea. However, in the present case, they entered the posterior segment of the eye, which is very rare. CASE DESCRIPTION: A female patient presented with a complaint of repeated foreign body sensation, redness, pain, and photophobia in the left eye for 9 years following initial exposure to caterpillars...

PURPOSE: Various surgical techniques have been described for managing persistent macular holes after an unsuccessful vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. However, the closure and functional improvement rates after these procedures are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of radial retinal incisions (retinotomies) in eyes with persistent large macula holes despite previous vitrectomy with ILM peeling. DESIGN: In a retrospective case series, closure rate and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were evaluated in eyes with persistent macular holes after an unsuccessful vitrectomy that included posterior vitreous detachment and ILM peeling...

INTRODUCTION: Automated assessment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) has gained significant research attention in recent years. Though a list of convolutional neural network (CNN)-based methods has been proposed recently, methods that uncover the decision-making process of CNNs or critically interpret CNNs' decisions in the context are scant. This study aims to bridge this research gap. METHODS: We independently trained several state-of-the-art CNN models, namely, VGG16, VGG19, Xception, ResNet50, InceptionResNetV2 for AMD detection and applied CNN visualization techniques, namely, Grad-CAM, Grad-CAM++, Score CAM, Faster Score CAM to highlight the regions of interest utilized by the CNNs in the context...
