RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTEGRITY OF HENLE FIBERS AND VISUAL ACUITY IN MYOPIC FOVEOSCHISIS.

Background: To analyze the relationship between Henle fiber (HF) integrity and visual acuity in highly myopic eyes with foveoschisis.

Methods: Three hundred and fifty-eight highly myopic eyes were included in this study and divided into three groups according to the Triton optical coherence tomography results. Group 1 included 19 eyes with myopic foveoschisis where the inner and outer retina were connected by a columnar structure in the HF layer at the foveolar area.

Evolution of corneal epithelial remodeling after myopic laser keratomileusis surgery measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography combined with Placido disk.

Purpose: To investigate patterns of short- and long-term variations in corneal epithelial thickness (CET) after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) combined with Placido disk-based topography.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 36 subjects (72 eyes) who underwent LASIK myopic surgery and 53 healthy subjects (106 eyes) who served as controls were enrolled. AS-OCT (MS-39) was performed in all patients before, 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months after surgery.

FACE MASK CONTAMINATION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIA. A STUDY ON PATIENTS RECEIVING INTRAVITREAL INJECTIONS.

Purpose: To investigate the bacterial growth in the surgical face masks used by patients who received intravitreal injections and study the effect of povidone-iodine on the periocular area (PA) of masks.

Methods: Forty patients who attended for intravitreal injections were divided in those with less (<4 hours) and more (>4 hours) than 4 hours of mask use. Each group was divided depending on the application or not of povidone-iodine in the PA of the mask.

Correlation between retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and white matter lesions in Alzheimer's disease.

Objectives: Early diagnosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial in order to implement new therapeutic strategies. The retina is embryologically related to the brain. Thus, the possible usefulness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the early detection of AD is currently being studied.

Outcomes of Medial Rectus Recession With Adjustable Suture in Acute Concomitant Esotropia of Adulthood.

Purpose: To review and analyze the surgical outcomes of bilateral medial rectus recession with adjustable suture in acute concomitant esotropia of adulthood (ACEA).

Methods: The charts of all adults diagnosed as having ACEA between 2004 and 2017 were reviewed. Best corrected visual acuity, refractive error, ocular alignment measured in prism diopters (PD), and stereopsis were examined at presentation, 1 day postoperatively, and final follow-up visit (median: 10 months; range: 4 to 144 months).

Ganglion Cell Complex Analysis as a Potential Indicator of Early Neuronal Loss in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Reliable visual field testing is the gold standard in identifying future vision loss in patients with Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension (IIH). However, when field performance is unreliable, GCC analysis may be useful. We evaluated IIH patients over three visits: initial visit, follow-up visit and a third visit, almost 1 year later.

Susac's syndrome: isolated retinal artery occlusion after 10 years of remission.

Susac's syndrome, or microangiopathy of the retina, inner ear, and brain, is a rare condition characterized by the clinical triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusion, and sensorineural hearing loss. The complete triad has been documented in 85% of reported cases. At clinical onset, the most common manifestations are central nervous system symptoms, followed by visual symptoms and hearing disturbances.

Comparison of long-term clinical evolution in highly myopic eyes with vertical oval-shaped dome with or without untreated serous retinal detachment.

Background: To compare the long-term clinical evolution of highly myopic eyes with vertical oval-shaped dome associated with or without untreated serous retinal detachment.

Methods: Twenty-eight patients with high myopia (40 eyes) with smooth macular elevations related to a vertical oval-shaped dome were recruited. Serous retinal detachment was investigated; 11 eyes had persistent submacular fluid (study group) and 29 eyes lacked submacular fluid (control group).

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SEROUS RETINAL DETACHMENT IN HIGHLY MYOPIC EYES WITH VERTICAL OVAL-SHAPED DOME.

Purpose: This study investigated factors associated with persistent serous retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes with vertical oval-shaped domes.

Methods: Twenty-eight highly myopic patients (40 eyes) with smooth macular elevations related to a vertical oval-shaped dome were recruited. Serous retinal detachment was investigated; 11 eyes had persistent submacular fluid (study group) and 29 eyes lacked submacular fluid (control group).

Two- and three-dimensional topographic analysis of pathologically myopic eyes with dome-shaped macula and inferior staphyloma by spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To investigate the posterior anatomical structure of pathologically myopic eyes with dome-shaped macula and inferior staphyloma using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: Our database of 260 pathologically myopic eyes was analyzed retrospectively to identify patients with dome-shaped macula and inferior staphyloma. All patients underwent vertical and horizontal SD-OCT scans across the central fovea, with three-dimensional macular map reconstruction.

Analysis of peripapillary choroidal thickness in non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy.

Purpose: To analyse peripapillary choroidal thickness (PCT) in non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Methods: 28 patients diagnosed with NAION (37 affected and 19 unaffected eyes) and 38 disease-free control individuals (38 eyes) were analysed using enhanced-depth imaging of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. A vertical and a horizontal raster scan centred on the optic nerve were obtained per eye.

Retinal pseudoangiitis after intravitreal triamcinolone.

We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with a fundus image similar to frosted retinal angiitis after undergoing pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal triamcinolone injection. The patient with diabetic retinopathy was referred to our hospital with vision loss in her right eye secondary to vitreous haemorrhage. After pars plana vitrectomy and injection of triamcinolone acetonide a funduscopy examination revealed deposits of triamcinolone along the retinal vessels simulating a frosted retinal angiitis.
