Visual processing involves numerous neuro-ophthalmic pathways that enable humans to perceive and interact with the world. These visual pathways can negatively impact visual perception and decision-making. The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) is a compensatory mechanism that stabilizes gaze on a target during head movement, such as running or turning.

Background: Tranexamic acid has been increasingly used in facial plastic surgery to improve perioperative hemostasis. While subcutaneous tranexamic acid has been found to not significantly decrease postoperative ecchymoses following upper blepharoplasty, systemic administration has not previously been studied.

Methods: A total of 325 patients undergoing upper blepharoplasty were randomly assigned to either receive intravenous tranexamic acid or serve as a control.

Background: To determine whether a neuro-ophthalmic curriculum would improve National Football League (NFL) game officials' self-rated knowledge and interest in neuro-ophthalmic principles to improve precision and accuracy of NFL play-calling.

Methods: The formalized and structured neuro-ophthalmic principles (NOP) curriculum was introduced to 121 NFL game officials, 17 replay officials, and 4 officiating staff who attended the NFL Official Training Camp in Irving, Texas, on September 8 and 9, 2023. Before and after the lecture and videos were introduced, participants completed an optional hard-copy feedback form pertaining to self-reported NOP knowledge, likelihood of using said terms, and interest in future content of NOP applicable NFL officiating.

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disease (MOGAD) has a wide phenotypic expression and should be considered in a differential diagnosis of patients with optic disc edema and increased intracranial pressure because MOGAD can mimic IIH and compressive optic neuropathy.

Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman with a history of presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension ("IIH") presented with new headache and visual loss. She had a BMI of 35.

Article Synopsis
  • Orbital reconstruction after trauma or tissue loss is complicated, requiring careful consideration of factors like patient health, graft options, infection risk, and cosmetic outcomes.
  • Surgeons may choose from different types of grafts, including xenografts, allografts, and autografts, each with unique advantages and challenges based on the repair needs.
  • A case study highlights successful orbital reconstruction using tri-layer Kerecis (cod fish skin), resulting in good eye positioning and movement after a gunshot injury.

Background: We hypothesize that creation of a structured curriculum in neuro-ophthalmology principles might improve self-rated learner satisfaction and knowledge base of National Football League (NFL) game officials. Our initial objective is to create the said curriculum in coordination with game official experts and staff at the NFL to increase levels of understanding of neuro-ophthalmology principles. We reviewed the prior published literature on applicable neuro-ophthalmic principles in professional sports.
