Correlations Between Disability Score, Optical Coherence Tomography and Microperimetry in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Purpose: To characterize ocular motility disturbances through Microperimetry (MP) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) trying to detect those capable of influencing the disability to improve the accuracy of assessing visual impact in EDSS scale. MP results were compare with some structural parameters obtained by OCT.

Patients And Methods: Cross-sectional analytical and correlational case-control study approved by Ethical Committee.

Accounting for Visual Field Abnormalities when Using Eye-tracking to Diagnose Reading Problems in Neurological Degeneration.

State-of-the-art eye trackers provide valuable information for diagnosing reading problems by measuring and interpreting people's gaze paths as they read through text. Abnormal conditions such as visual field defects, however, can seriously confound most of today's existing methods for interpreting reading gaze patterns. Our objective was to research how visual field defects impact reading gaze path patterns, so the effects of such neurological pathologies can be explicitly incorporated into more comprehensive reading diagnosis methodologies.

Visual loss as the initial manifestation of an ignored disseminated prostate cancer: A case report.

Purpose: To present a rare case of advanced disseminated prostate cancer with bilateral visual loss as the initial manifestation of the disease.

Observations: A 55-year-old man referring progressive visual blurring for the last 6 months and painless severe bilateral visual loss in the last 7 days prior to our consultation, associated with a bilateral optic disc swelling and leptomeningeal metastases from a previously ignored prostate carcinoma is presented. Rapid improvement of visual acuity and involution of leptomeningeal metastasis was observed after initiation of the specific oncologic treatment.

ROP Screening Tool Assessment and Validation in a Third-Level Hospital in Argentina: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To evaluate whether a mathematical tool that predicts severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using clinical parameters at 6 weeks of life (ROPScore calculator smartphone application; PABEX Corporation) can be useful to predict severe ROP in a population of premature infants in Argentina.

Methods: In this retrospective study, data from the clinical records of all premature infants examined between 2012 and 2018 in the ophthalmology department of a public third-level hospital in Córdoba, Argentina, were obtained. ROPScore screening was applied using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (Microsoft Corporation).
