Comparison between cycloplegic and noncycloplegic refraction in young adult myopes.

Significance: This study explores the difference between cycloplegic and noncycloplegic refraction in young adult myopes.

Purpose: From the available literature, it is unclear whether cycloplegia is necessary when refracting young adults. This study investigates the agreement between noncycloplegic autorefraction and cycloplegic autorefraction and investigates factors affecting the agreement between the two methods.

Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure Effect During Pars Plana Vitrectomy on the Foveal Avascular Zone: A Pilot Study.

To evaluate the effect of mean ocular perfusion pressure on the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in eyes with successful retinal detachment (RD) surgery. This prospective pilot fellow eye-controlled study measured the intraoperative mean ocular perfusion pressure in eyes having surgery for rhegmatogenous RD (RRD). Postoperatively, the FAZ area was measured; the change was calculated as the difference in the FAZ area between the operated eye and the contralateral control eye.

Myopia Progression in Adults: A Retrospective Analysis.

Significance: Studies on adult myopia progression are limited. This retrospective analysis of a large data set of young adult myopes characterizes myopia progression during adulthood.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the mean annual progression of myopia and to estimate the proportion of progressors in adult myopes.

Suprachoroidal silicone oil migration following 27 gauge 3 ports pars plana vitrectomy - a rare complication and its management.

Suprachoroidal silicone oil migration is an unusual complication of small gauge 3 ports Pars plana vitrectomy (3PPV) system. Our objective is to report a retrospective, observational case of an intra-operative suprachoroidal silicone oil (SO) migration during 27 gauge 3PPV and its successful surgical management. A 49 years old male patient with type 2 diabetes, presented to the ophthalmology outpatient department with reduced visual acuity in his right eye.

Ophthalmological Aspects of von-Hippel-Lindau Syndrome.

von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a multisystem neoplastic disorder involving eyes, central nervous system, kidneys, spine, and other tissues. A retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) is the earliest manifestation of the VHL disease in most cases.This paper aims to provide an up-to-date review of the current literature about von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.

A Novel Method of Quantifying the Choriocapillaris in Normal and Post-inflammatory Eyes.

Objective: To assess the reliability and validity of gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) in the quantification of choriocapillaris and describe GLCM features in normal and eyes with resolved acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) and serpiginous choroiditis (SC).

Methods: In this, multicenter, reliability, validity and comparative study; OCTA was performed on eyes with resolved APMPPE and SC and normal individuals. CC texture classification, low flow area measurements and GLCM feature extraction were performed.

Prepapillary vascular loop-a new classification.

Background/objectives: To analyze the ophthalmic characteristics of congenital prepapillary vascular loop (PVL) and to propose a new morphologic classification dividing the loops into six types.

Subjects/methods: Collaborative multinational multicentre retrospective study of PVL cases.

Results: There was a total of 49 cases (61 eyes), 37 unilateral (75.

Textural Properties of Choriocapillaris on OCTA in Healed Inflammatory Choriocapillaropathies.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the flow characteristics and textural properties of choriocapillaris (CC) on optical coherence tomography angiography in eyes with resolved inflammatory choriocapillaropathies and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.

Patients And Methods: A cohort of eyes with healed acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), serpiginous choroiditis (SC), and VKH disease were included. A 3 mm × 3 mm OCT angiogram of CC was acquired and graded for flow characteristics and textural properties.

Multimodal Imaging of Serpiginous Choroiditis.

Purpose: To report a case of atypical serpiginous choroiditis with previously unreported findings on optical coherence tomographic angiography.

Case Report: A 35-year-old otherwise healthy man had a 1-week history of vision loss in his right eye. The visual acuity in right eye was counting fingers at 1 meter.

Atypical Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy.

Purpose: To report a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) with atypical features.

Case Report: A 30-year-old otherwise healthy woman presented with a 7-day history of visual disturbance in her left eye. The best corrected visual acuity in her left eye was 6/36.

Can hospital rounds with pocket ultrasound by cardiologists reduce standard echocardiography?

Background: Frequently, hospitalized patients are referred for transthoracic echocardiograms. The availability of a pocket mobile echocardiography device that can be incorporated on bedside rounds by cardiologists may be a useful and frugal alternative.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study designed to compare the accuracy of pocket mobile echocardiography images with those acquired by transthoracic echocardiography in a sample of hospitalized patients.
