Purpose: To evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening in Nepal and Mongolia.
Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected clinical data.
Participants: Clinical information and fundus images were obtained from infants in 2 ROP screening programs in Nepal and Mongolia.
Purpose: To describe a process for identifying birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) screening guidelines in Mongolia.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study in a tertiary care hospital in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia, of 193 premature infants with GA of 36 weeks or younger and/or BW of 2,000 g or less) with regression analysis to determine associations between BW and GA and the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Results: As BW and GA decreased, the relative risk of developing ROP increased.
Purpose: To compare ultra-wide-field colour fundus imaging (UWFI) to dilated fundus examination (DFE) for the screening of sickle cell retinopathy (SCR).
Design: This study is a prospective, blinded, multicentre case series.
Participants: This study included two groups: an adult group (n=268 eyes) and a paediatric group (n=168 eyes).

Background And Objective: To evaluate the retinal and vasculature changes in infants with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) using fluorescein angiography (FA).
Patients And Methods: This consecutive case series included six infants with CZS. FA and color fundus imaging were performed under general anesthesia in both eyes of all infants using a contact widefield digital imaging system.
Purpose: Invisible retinoblastoma tumors are now detected with screening for retinal tumors in at-risk neonates (those inheriting RB1 pathogenic alleles from affected parents) using handheld OCT. Laser photocoagulation is challenging, requiring exact localization of a tumor invisible to indirect ophthalmoscopy and standard imaging. We describe OCT-guided localization and photocoagulation of these invisible tumors with 1-year follow-up.

Patients were monitored for tumour control, foveal and perifoveal anatomy at each treatment session by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and treated for amblyopia when the other eye had better vision.
Methods: Eyes with perifoveal retinoblastoma treated between 1 January 2011 and 31 May 2017 with laser therapy after chemotherapy for juxtafoveal (fovea clear of tumour but <3000 µm from tumour edge) or foveolar retinoblastoma (tumour underlying fovea) were retrospectively reviewed for tumour control without recurrence, anatomical success (foveal pit preservation and/or restoration with ≥500 µm perifoveal retina free of tumour and scar) and functional success (acceptable (>0.
Purpose: Assess the role of handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) in guiding management decisions during diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of eyes affected by retinoblastoma.
Design: Retrospective, noncomparative, single-institution case series.
Participants: All children newly diagnosed with retinoblastoma from January 2011 to December 2015 who had an OCT session during their active treatment at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Canada.
Purpose: To ascertain the interobserver agreement among various specialists when analyzing images of the optic nerve head taken with the RetCam 120 (Clarity Medical Systems, Inc., Pleasanton, CA) for assessing the progression of optic disk cupping in pediatric glaucoma.
Methods: Five observers compared pairs of RetCam 120 two-dimensional photographs from 64 eyes to identify whether or not changes in the optic disk had occurred.
Objective: To describe the clinical pattern of retinal atrophy in children caused by the anticonvulsant vigabatrin.
Design: An interventional case series report.
Participants: One hundred thirty-eight patients, mainly infants, were evaluated regularly for evidence of possible vigabatrin toxicity in the Eye and Neurology clinics at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto.
Purpose: To determine whether 3-dimensional ultrasonography (3D US) provides information about anatomy and position of extraocular muscles to better guide surgeons approaching strabismus in patients with craniosynostosis who often have anomalous or absent eye muscles.
Methods: The 4 rectus eye muscles were imaged using 3D US for 7 children with craniosynostosis before or after strabismus surgery. Reconstructed 3D images were interpreted as having normal or abnormal anatomy and position, based on comparison with images acquired from 6 normal eyes.
