Vision-Related Quality of Life Among Healthy, Preperimetric Glaucoma, and Perimetric Glaucoma Patients.

Purpose: To investigate the association of vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) with the central visual field and macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in healthy control participants, patients with preperimetric glaucoma, and patients with perimetric glaucoma.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 39 healthy, 34 preperimetric glaucoma, and 145 perimetric glaucoma patients completed the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ).

Association Between Ganglion Cell Complex Thinning and Vision-Related Quality of Life in Glaucoma.

Importance: Faster structural changes may be associated with worse vision-related quality of life in patients with glaucoma.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between the rate of ganglion cell complex thinning and the Vision Function Questionnaire in glaucoma.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective analysis of a longitudinal cohort was designed in October 2021.

The First Epiretinal Implant for Hereditary Blindness in the Asia-Pacific Region.

In February 2013, the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System (Second Sight Medical Products, Inc., Sylmar, CA, US) became the first "bionic eye" approved by the FDA to restore useful vision in patients previously blinded by end-stage retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary, progressive degeneration of the outer retinal photoreceptor cells. The system captures and converts an external optical input into an electrical signal that activates an epiretinal electrode array on the inner surface of the retina.

Introducing the 24-2C Visual Field Test in Neuro-Ophthalmology.

Purpose: The Humphrey 24-2C visual field test is a modified 24-2 visual field test that incorporates 10 additional test points in the central 10° of vision. This study compares the new 24-2C test to the standard Humphrey 10-2 visual field test in patients presenting for neuro-ophthalmology evaluation to evaluate its ability to detect central visual field defects.

Methods: Twenty-five neuro-ophthalmology patients (42 eyes) underwent both 24-2C and 10-2 visual field testing using the Humphrey perimeter.

Correlating Ophthalmology Exposure in Medical School to Applying and Matching Into an Ophthalmology Residency.

Purpose: To correlate ophthalmology curricular exposure in medical school to the number of students who applied and matched into ophthalmology residency programs. Given the high curricular burden placed on medical schools, the authors sought to better characterize existing ophthalmology curricula and to delineate which offerings are closely related to high numbers of students applying and matching into ophthalmology residencies.

Method: The authors reviewed the extent of ophthalmology curricula between 2007 and 2017 via a survey administered in 2018 to all U.

Two differing presentations of periocular dermatitis as a side effect of dupilumab for atopic dermatitis.

Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat atopic dermatitis. Worsening of atopic dermatitis and conjunctivitis following dupilumab use are reported adverse effects; however, there is little reported on the nature and mechanism of these complications. Here, we describe two patients with chronic atopic dermatitis who developed new or severely worsened periocular dermatitis, believed to be a side effect of dupilumab injections, and resolution after its discontinuation.
