Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is suggested as a potential tool for retinal biomarkers in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We explored how macular exudate (ME) affects retinal structure...
Patients diagnosed with IIH and matched controls were enrolled. ME detection was done on fundus photography; swept-source OCT was used to image and measure the retinal sublayer thicknesses, including ...
195 eyes from 98 IIH patients (42 eyes had ME) and 224 eyes from 112 controls were included. IIH patients had thicker INL and ORL compared with controls (both p<0.001) while IIH eyes with ME had thick...
ME affects retinal thickness in IIH patients and is associated with more severe clinical features in IIH. OCT may provide biomarkers informative of clinical changes in IIH. Further longitudinal studie...
To relate the visual acuity changes (VA) with the cost of care and treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (AntiVEGF) therapy in patients diagnosed with exudative age-related macular de...
Observational, longitudinal, retrospective study of patients older than 50 years diagnosed with exudative AMD, with a logMAR VA between 0.6 and 0.06, in follow-up and treatment in our tertiary hospita...
AntiVEGF treatments (ranibizumab, aflibercept and both) maintained VA in patients with exudative AMD. In general, care and treatment costs were lower in the group that received both drugs....
This study aimed to identify the effect of different durations of visual target presentation during ciliary-muscle training on children's kinetic visual acuity (KVA), uncorrected distance visual acuit...
Based on the ciliary-muscle regulation mechanism, an intervention program involving ciliary-muscle training with different durations of visual target presentation combined with physical education clas...
After 32 weeks of the intervention, the KVA and UDVA of each experimental group were significantly improved (...
In school physical education classes, the 1-s, 3-s, and 5-s ciliary-muscle regulating exercise could effectively improve the kinetic visual acuity, uncorrected distance visual acuity, and accommodativ...
To describe the characteristics and surgical outcomes of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) in children and to determine the factors associated with postoperative visual acuity (VA)....
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 17 patients with iERM (age, < 18 years) who had undergone ERM surgery from 2009 to 2021. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography features were d...
The mean age was 9.2 ± 3.8 years. The mean follow-up period was 38.9 ± 45.4 months. After surgery, the central foveal thickness and the best-corrected VA (BCVA) improved significantly (all, P < 0.05)....
Surgical removal of ERM showed a high anatomical and functional success rate in children. In pediatric patients with iERMs involving the fovea, a good VA was more common when the membrane was diffused...
To determine whether the clinical and paraclinical course of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) over 1 year is related to the extent of triplet repetition in the transcription factor 4 (TCF4) ...
A prospective study with a 1-year follow-up was conducted. A total of 104 patients (160 eyes) with FECD and an equivalent number of age- and sex-matched control subjects without FECD were included. At...
KGs ranged from 1 to 6, and 46% of eyes had grades 1 to 4. 71% of the patients harbored TNR expansion (>40) versus 13% in control subjects ( P < 0.001). Severity at inclusion was higher in the presenc...
It is possible to measure a subtle progression of FECD over a period as short as 1 year. We did not find a relationship between the presence of TNR expansion and the speed of deterioration over 1 year...
To develop machine learning models for objectively evaluating visual acuity (VA) based on pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (PRVEPs) and other related visual parameters....
Twenty-four volunteers were recruited and forty-eight eyes were divided into four groups of 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.4 (decimal vision). The relationship between VA, peak time, or amplitude of P100 record...
The main effects of P100 peak time and amplitude between different VA and check sizes were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Except amplitude at 2.6° and 5.7°, VA was negatively correlated wit...
Machine learning models established by meaning visual parameters related to visual acuity can assist in the objective evaluation of VA....
Remote self-administered visual acuity (VA) tests have the potential to allow patients and non-specialists to assess vision without eye health professional input. Validation in pragmatic trials is nec...
A systematic review was undertaken in accordance with a preregistered protocol (CRD42022385045). The Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, and Scopus were searched. Screening was conducted according to t...
Of 1227 identified reports, 10 studies were ultimately included. One study was at high risk of bias and two studies exhibited concerning features of bias; all studies were applicable. Three trials-of ...
Remote self-administered VA tests appear promising, but further pragmatic trials are indicated to justify deployment in carefully defined contexts to facilitate patient or non-specialist led assessmen...
Home visual acuity tests could ease pressure on ophthalmic services by facilitating remote review of patients. Home tests may have further utility in giving service users frequent updates of vision ou...
Children attending outpatient clinics had visual acuity measured 3 times at the same appointment: Once by a registered orthoptist per clinical protocols, once by an orthoptist using a tablet-based vis...
In total, 42 children were recruited to the study. The mean age was 5.6 years (range 3.3 to 9.3 years). Median and interquartile ranges (IQR) for clinical standard, orthoptic-led and parent/carer-led ...
This technique of unsupervised visual acuity measures for children is not comparable to clinical measures and is unlikely to be valuable to clinical decision making. Future work should focus on improv...
Operative vision can frequently be critically reduced during laparoscopic surgery by condensation and other matter accumulating on the distal laparoscope lens. By delivering saline and carbon dioxide ...
A retrospective audit compared efficacy and utility for the three years before and after the implementation of OpClear in a single unit. Thirty-three cases were reviewed pre-OpClear, while 82 cases we...
The OpClear system provided a consistently high level of visual acuity throughout the laparoscopic procedures. Scope removals, which typically result in non-productive operating time, were virtually e...
The findings of this audit suggest that the OpClear system provides continuous high-level vision during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Further, reducing periods of non-productive time associated with scop...
To report a long-term outcome of the novel combined surgical method of complete excision, corneal tattooing, and a sutureless limbal conjunctival autograft for limbal dermoid....
All patients who were referred to our clinic for limbal dermoid, and underwent a combined surgery of complete excision, corneal tattooing, and a sutureless limbal conjunctival autograft were retrospec...
During seven years, 24 patients (24 eyes) with limbal dermoid were finally enrolled. The mean age was 10.1±8.9 years old. The surgery resulted in an improved appearing ocular surface in all cases with...
Based on the results of this study, our innovative surgical method which includes complete excision with corneal tattooing and limbal conjunctival autograft can be a simple and safe procedure that ach...
