Ex vivo porcine model for eye, eyelid, and orbit movement analysis of 4-mm ferromagnetic foreign bodies in MRI.

Purpose: Ferromagnetic foreign bodies (FFB) present during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) explorations can lead to tissue injury due to movement, especially in and around the eyes. Ferromagnetic foreign bodies located in the intraocular area, eyelids, and orbit are thus prohibited from undergoing MRI. The aim of the study was to analyze movement of 4-mm ferromagnetic foreign bodies in MRI in the eye, eyelid, and orbit using computed tomography (CT) scan.

[Feedback on ophthalmologic telemedicine in a nursing home].

Introduction: Ophthalmologic care needings increase whereas the numbers of ophthalmologist decrease. Oldest people who are often vulnerable and dependent populations are particularly affected in difficulty to access to health services. To resolve the problem, the use of telemedicine in ophthalmology could be an alternative.

Feedback on ophthalmologic telemedicine in a nursing home.

Introduction: The need for ophthalmologist appointments is increasing, while the number of practitioners is decreasing. Elderly patients, who may be dependent and isolated, are the most affected by this barrier to care. In order to get around this obstacle, telemedicine visits might be an alternative.

[Telemedicine monitoring for AMD patients].

Introduction: AMD follow-up is a public health issue in developed countries due to aging of the population and medical demographics. Telemedicine may be a means of improving follow-up.

Purpose: To compare the agreement between telemedicine and in-person consultations in terms of indications for intravitreal injections in exudative AMD patients.

[Corneal topography in practice].

Corneal surface analysis is now more and more accurate. Corneal topography is a gold standard in corneal pathology follow-up: keratoconus, corneal grafts, orthokeratology. In refractive surgery, cornea ectasia post-Lasik must be avoided.
