[Ophthalmic disqualification from the military services: Multicentric cross-sectional study].

Purpose: This article aims to describe the causes of ophthalmological disqualification from the military services detected during specialist consultations conducted at Army Training Hospitals.

Methods: This observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study retrospectively included individuals deemed as "unfit for military service" due to eye diseases identified during the specialist consultation conducted at 3 ATHs between January 2020 and December 2021. The data collected included age, medical and surgical history, reasons for ophthalmological disqualification, uncorrected distance visual acuity, best corrected distance visual acuity and cycloplegic refraction.

Keratoconus and Fitness to Fly.

Of the body senses, vision is the most important for safe flight. Keratoconus causes progressive blurring and distortion of vision, which threatens the career of a civilian or military aviator. The goal of this retrospective study was to describe a series of keratoconus cases in a pilot population and to discuss decisions about their flight waivers.

Presbyopic LASIK using the Supracor algorithm and micromonovision in presbyopic myopic patients: 12-month visual and refractive outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes for presbyopia and myopia treatment using the Teneo 317 M2 platform and the myopic Supracor algorithm.

Setting: Percy Military Hospital and Private Laser Victor Hugo Center, Paris, France.

Design: Observational retrospective nonrandomized study.

Sutureless Lyophilized Amniotic Membrane Grafting for Corneal Epithelial Defects.

Objectives: To report the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of the lyophilized amniotic membrane (AM) Visio-AMTRIX placed under a bandage contact lens (BCL) in treating persistent epithelial defects (PEDs).

Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with PEDs treated with a lyophilized AM placed under the BCL. Patients with PEDs who did not respond to medical treatment were included.

Incidence and characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment during coronavirus-19 pandemic: A French study.

Purpose: To assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown on the number and clinical characteristics of patients with retinal detachment (RD) in a French public university eye hospital.

Methods: Single-center, retrospective non-interventional study. Patients consulting at the emergency room (ER) of Quinze-Vingts Hospital (France) for rhegmatogenous RD before and after instauration of the lockdown were reviewed.

Eyelid Chemical Burns: A Multidisciplinary And Challenging Approach.

During second- and third-degree eyelid sulfuric acid burns, many surgeons prefer to wait until primary wound separation occurs before grafting. However, this approach may miss the chance to recover the eyelids and can cause ectropion, resulting in delayed eyeball healing with exposure keratitis. We propose that early eyelid release and grafting makes a significant difference in long-term outcomes and improves eyeball healing.

Corneal haze post photorefractive keratectomy.

Corneal haze represents subepithelial corneal fibrosis, a manifestation of a pathological healing process. It occurs as a result of an epithelial-stromal lesion involving a break in the epithelial barrier. It is an inflammatory response that involves the migration, multiplication and differentiation of keratocytes into mature myofibroblasts, causing loss of corneal transparency.

[Refractive surgery for hyperopia].

Hyperopia is a refractive error in which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina. Clear vision can be obtained by accommodation, but in the long run, this results in eye strain. Hyperopia can be classified as low [≤2.

3D-printed shields for slit lamps produced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additive manufacturing has been extensively used during the COVID-19 pandemic to design and produce protection equipment. During clinical examinations using slit lamps, ophthalmologists are at risk of being contaminated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the device itself is exposed to viral contamination. Several solutions have already been proposed for fixing transparent shields on the physician side.

PresbyPRK vs presbyLASIK using the SUPRACOR algorithm and micromonovision in presbyopic hyperopic patients: visual and refractive results at 12 months.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcome and refractive results between presbyopic photorefractive keratectomy (presbyPRK) and presbyopic laser in situ keratomileusis (presbyLASIK) in presbyopic hyperopic patients using micromonovision and the SUPRACOR algorithm.

Setting: Percy Military Hospital and private Laser Victor Hugo Center, France.

Design: Observational retrospective nonrandomized.

[Signs, symptoms, and clinical forms of cataract in adults].

Cataract is a partial or total opacification of the crystalline lens. In adults, cataract is acquired; the most common form is the age-related cataract. Assessment of the functional impact of a cataract is clinical.

[Functional results and prognostic factors in open-globe ocular trauma with presenting visual acuity of no-light perception].

Purpose: To analyse the clinical ocular characteristics and determine prognostic factors for functional recovery in eyes presenting with no light perception (NLP) after open globe ocular trauma.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study were included all the patients with no light perception after open globe trauma who presented to Amiens University Hospital between October 2014 and June 2018.

Results: Fifteen eyes of 15 patients were included in this study.

[Cyclodialysis, a therapeutic challenge: Review of the literature on current practices].

Introduction: Cyclodialysis is a rare condition that is difficult to manage. We present the case of a woman with a cyclodialysis complicated by chronic hypotony requiring two surgeries to achieve reattachment of the ciliary body. We also report the results of a review of the literature regarding the treatment of this condition.

[Hereditary color vision deficiency: Physiology, classification, diagnosis and application to aeronautics].

Hereditary color vision deficiency affects 9% of men and 0.5% of women. It is often unrecognized and diagnosed late, which can interfere with the professional careers of these patients.
