Background: Interprofessional electronic consultation (eConsult) is a telemedicine modality in which consulting providers review outside records and provide recommendations without in-person consultation. The purpose of this study was to describe the utilization of eConsults in the management of neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all patients who received an eConsult for a neuro-ophthalmic condition at a single quaternary referral center from 2018 to 2020.
Long-Term Visual Outcomes in Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration Patients With Unanticipated Gaps in Therapy.

September 2022
Background And Objectives: This study's objective was to describe long-term visual outcomes of patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections who were lost to follow-up and then resumed treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of eyes with at least 7 years of follow-up following the initiation of treatment for wet AMD with and without gaps in therapy.
Results: The baseline mean logMAR visual acuity was 0.
Background: The use of remote interpretation of data has risen in neuro-ophthalmology to increase efficiency and maintain social distancing due to the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to characterize the use and efficiency of remote interpretation of visual fields (VFs) in an academic center and to determine how often the VF interpretation was consistent with the patient's clinical history and imaging at the time of the consult.
Methods: This is a retrospective study at a single academic center that enrolled all patients receiving a remote interpretation of VF from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.
Prcis: In this longitudinal study of patients with open-angle (OAG), pseudoexfoliative (PXE), or neovascular glaucoma (NVG) receiving glaucoma drainage devices (GDD), posttube cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and visually threatening complications (VT-complications) increased beyond 5 years and were not significantly affected by glaucoma type.
Purpose: To study the need for additional glaucoma surgery and development of complications after first GDD surgery in eyes with primary OAG, PXE, or NVG glaucoma.
Patients And Methods: There were 306 eyes with OAG (n=185), PXE (n=60), or NVG (n=61) glaucoma who received a first GDD between 1996 and 2017.
Prcis: Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the rate of corneal grafting after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) placement in pediatric and adult patients. Adults were at an increased risk of receiving a corneal graft after device placement.
Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the rate of corneal graft implantation after GDD placement in pediatric and adult patients.
Purpose: To determine the long-term visual outcomes and intravitreal injection burden of patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Patients with exudative AMD treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections with annual office visits for at least 7 years.
Purpose: To identify the visual acuity outcomes of patients with age-related macular degeneration treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections over a 10-year period.
Methods: This was a retrospective, cohort study of eyes with exudative age-related macular degeneration that received ≥2 intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections and had at least 10 years of follow-up after the initiation of treatment. Snellen visual acuity was recorded at baseline and then annually until the last year of follow-up.
