Finite Element Analysis of Mechanical Ocular Sequelae from Badminton Shuttlecock Projectile Impact.

Purpose: With the growing popularity of badminton worldwide, the incidence of badminton-related ocular injuries is expected to rise. The high velocity of shuttlecocks renders ocular traumas particularly devastating, especially with the possibility of permanent vision loss. This study investigated the mechanism behind ocular complications through simulation analyses of mechanical stresses and pressures upon shuttlecock impact.

Deep Learning Assisted Imaging Methods to Facilitate Access to Ophthalmic Telepathology.

Purpose: To investigate the use of super-resolution imaging techniques to enable telepathology using low-cost commercial cameras.

Design: Experimental study.

Participants: A total of 139 ophthalmic pathology slides obtained from the Ophthalmic Pathology service at the University of California, Irvine.

The Incidence of Urgent Tube Shunt Surgery for Diabetic Neovascular Glaucoma at a Tertiary Academic Medical Center.

Background: Diabetic neovascular glaucoma is a secondary glaucoma that may require immediate correction of elevated intraocular pressure to control pain and protect the optic nerve. While there is a seasonal trend to glucose levels, it is unknown if a seasonal trend exists for diabetic neovascular glaucoma.

Objective: This study evaluates the incidence of urgent glaucoma tube shunt implantation in diabetic neovascular glaucoma in a tertiary academic referral center in Southern California.

Anterior Chamber Washout During Ahmed Valve Glaucoma Surgery Reduces the Incidence of Hypertensive Phase.

Prcis: Intraoperative anterior chamber (AC) washout reduces the odds of hypertensive phase (HP) by 95% compared with those not receiving washout during Ahmed glaucoma implant (AGI), suggesting AC washout is an effective prophylaxis for postoperative HP.

Purpose: To characterize the incidence of postoperative HP in patients receiving AC washout at the time of AGI.

Patients And Methods: A total of 24 patients with medically refractory glaucoma who underwent AGI surgery at a tertiary academic medical center in Southern California from December 2018 through March 2021 were included in this retrospective comparative case series.
