Background: Improving patient attendance at medical follow-up visits may have a notable impact on disease and overall health outcomes. Understanding factors contributing to poor attendance is important for identifying at-risk patients and designing interventions to improve clinical outcomes. Our objective was to identify personality and illness perception factors associated with attendance at recommended follow-up visits in a neuro-ophthalmology practice.

- - The study observes that the photopic negative response in electroretinograms (ERGs) is diminished in patients with optic neuropathies, but traditional measurement methods have hindered effective clinical usage.
- - Recent technological advancements allow for better ERG recordings in a clinical setting, and applying machine learning for time series classification may enhance the accuracy of diagnosing optic neuropathies by analyzing complete ERG waveforms.
- - While user-defined ERG features show significant reductions in optic neuropathy, their classification performance is only moderate, with machine learning models showing slightly better F1 scores, suggesting that larger studies are necessary to improve these diagnostic methods.
Background: Double Maddox rod (DMR), the gold-standard method for in-office measurement of cyclodeviation, requires an examiner and specialized equipment. The objective of this study was to develop a virtual reality (VR) technique for measurement of cyclodeviation and validate this against the DMR.
Methods: A VR-DMR was implemented using a smartphone and commercially available VR viewer.
: Quantitative pupillometry has utility in research settings for measuring optic nerve and autonomic function. We configured a portable device to perform quantitative pupillometry with application to detecting unilateral optic neuropathies in the clinical setting.: Light stimuli were delivered, and pupil diameter responses recorded using customized software implemented on a commercial portable electroretinography device.
