Adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy may support early diagnosis of glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare image characteristics of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) between glaucoma patients and healthy controls using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional pilot study with two groups: a glaucoma group with patients with moderate or severe glaucoma as per the Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson classification system and a control group with healthy individuals. The optic nerve damage in moderate glaucoma was predominantly located in only one hemisphere; the other hemisphere was un- or minimally affected on optical coherence tomography and automated perimetry and is referred to as early glaucoma.

A Review on Damage and Rupture Modelling for Soft Tissues.

Computational modelling of damage and rupture of non-connective and connective soft tissues due to pathological and supra-physiological mechanisms is vital in the fundamental understanding of failures. Recent advancements in soft tissue damage models play an essential role in developing artificial tissues, medical devices/implants, and surgical intervention practices. The current article reviews the recently developed damage models and rupture models that considered the microstructure of the tissues.

Thermal Imaging of the Ocular Surface in Thyroid Eye Disease: A Comparison between Active, Inactive and Healthy Eyes.

: To report the temperature differences on the ocular surface using infrared thermal imaging (TI) in thyroid eye disease (TED) and healthy eyes: Prospective, consecutive, comparative case series comparing TI parameters between active and inactive TED with healthy controls. The data captured included baseline demography, activity of TED and the TI parameters. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) were calculated for the temperature values to determine the sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing active from inactive TED.
