Purpose: To assess the therapeutic effect of tinted lenses (FL-41) on photophobia and light-evoked brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in individuals with chronic ocular surface pain.
Design: Prospective case series.
Methods: 25 subjects from the Miami veterans affairs (VA) eye clinic were recruited based on the presence of chronic ocular pain, dry eye symptoms, and photophobia.
Introduction: To examine the effect of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) on neural mechanisms underlying pain and photophobia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in individuals with chronic ocular pain.
Methods: Twelve subjects with chronic ocular pain and light sensitivity were recruited from the Miami Veterans Affairs eye clinic. Inclusion criteria were: (1) chronic ocular pain; (2) presence of ocular pain over 1 week recall; and (3) presence of photophobia.
A service coverage analysis of pediatric uveitis care in the United States was implemented to determine geographic disparities between subspecialists and the pediatric population. There were substantial potential service deserts, including several small metropolitan areas.

Design: Cross-sectional case/control analysis.
Methods: A total of 16 individuals from the Miami Veterans Affairs eye clinic underwent comprehensive ocular surface evaluations and were surveyed for ocular surface symptoms.
Purpose: To identify the risk factors associated with failure of tube shunt surgery.
Design: Pooled analysis of 3 prospective multicenter, randomized clinical trials.
Methods: A total of 621 patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma were enrolled, including 276 from the Ahmed Baerveldt Comparison Study, 238 from the Ahmed Versus Baerveldt Study, and 107 from the tube group of the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study.
Perceptions of a Virtual Interview Exercise for Ophthalmology Residency Applicants.
J Acad Ophthalmol (2017)
July 2021
In-person interviews have traditionally been considered a crucial component of the residency application process. Virtual interviews (VIs) became the standard format for the 2020 to 2021 application cycle due to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. VIs offer a new perspective and challenge to this process which warrants unique considerations and further understanding of effects on applicants.

- The study aimed to compare dry eye symptoms and signs between Gulf War illness (GWI) veterans and those without GWI.
- Veterans with GWI reported significantly higher dry eye symptom scores and eye pain compared to veterans without GWI, although the actual ocular surface parameters were similar between the two groups.
- Specific GWI symptoms like "nausea or upset stomach" and "headache" were linked to the increased severity of dry eye symptoms, suggesting that factors other than just tear dysfunction may contribute to eye discomfort in GWI individuals.
Recent advances on visual cycle protein research and progress on clinical translation.
Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
September 2020
Since the publication of our previous paper, (Tsin, et.al, JBC 293:13016, 2018) there has been significant progress on multiple topics discussed in this paper. In the present communication, we further explore research advances on two visual cycle proteins: DES1 and IRBP.
