Facial feminization surgery (FFS) improves gender dysphoria. The brows and eyes are crucial in perceived gender, yet brow and eyelid surgeries are relatively underutilized. This study aimed to determine rates of brow and eyelid surgeries as part of FFS and characterize pre- and postoperative periocular features.

Prcis: Damage to disposable selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) lenses correlated with the amount of total laser energy. Furthermore, greater lens damage was associated with diminished patient treatment response.

Purpose: Disposable SLT lenses have been observed to be damaged during use by laser, potentially affecting therapeutic response.

Background: Sexual dimorphism has been studied in the faces of average populations and worldwide celebrities; however, a focused analysis of attractive Caucasian faces has not been conducted.

Objective: The study harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to efficiently analyze these facial patterns in attractive Caucasian male and female celebrities.

Methods: Twenty-one male and 21 female Caucasian celebrities were selected based on popular editorial rankings, modeling agencies, and casting directors from 2017 to 2022.

Purpose: Deformations of the retina such as staphylomas in myopia or scleral flattening in high intracranial pressure can be challenging to quantify with en face imaging. We describe an optical coherence tomography-based method for the generation of quantitative posterior eye topography maps in normal and pathologic eyes.

Methods: Using "whole eye" optical coherence tomography, we corrected for subjects' optical distortions to generate spatially accurate posterior eye optical coherence tomography volumes and created local curvature (KM, mm-1) topography maps for each consented subject.

The majority of the eye's refractive power lies in the cornea, and pathological changes in its shape can affect vision. Small animal models offer an unparalleled degree of control over genetic and environmental factors that can help elucidate mechanisms of diseases affecting corneal shape. However, there is not currently a method to characterize the corneal shape of small animal eyes with topography or pachymetry maps, as is done clinically for humans.
