Prediction model to predict type 1 retinopathy of prematurity using gestational age and birth weight (PW-ROP).

Purpose: To develop a prediction model for type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) from an Asian population.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1043 premature infants who had ROP screening in a tertiary hospital in Hong Kong from year 2006 to 2018. The ROP prediction model was developed by multivariate logistic regression analyses on type 1 ROP.

Association between functional status and ocular surface disease among local elderly population in Hong Kong.

: To evaluate the correlation between ocular surface disease (OSD) and functional status among elderly population over 60 years old in Hong Kong.: Chinese subjects above 60 years old were recruited from the Ophthalmology clinic in Hong Kong West Cluster. Subjects demographic and questionnaires to evaluate the functional status were used to correlate with OSD objectively with clinical examination to assess the meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), corneal staining, Schirmer's test and tear break-up time (TBUT); and subjectively with ocular surface disease index (OSDI).

Factors Associated with Poor Eye Drop Administration Technique and the Role of Patient Education among Hong Kong Elderly Population.

Objectives: To identify the risk factors for poor eye drop application technique in treatment-naïve subjects and to assess if patient education can benefit these subjects.

Methods: Chinese subjects above 60 years were recruited. Questionnaires, including Barthel index; Lawton's instrumental activities of daily living (ADL); Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illnesses, and Loss of Weight (FRAIL) scale; and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), were used to correlate with eye drop application technique (before and after patient education) using Spearman correlation analysis.

Repeated intraocular crystallization of ganciclovir in one eye after bilateral intravitreal injections: a case report.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is an opportunistic infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. Intravitreal ganciclovir injection monotherapy or in combination with systemic anti-CMV therapy are effective treatments for CMV retinitis. Crystallization of ganciclovir after intravitreal injection is extremely rare.

Early epithelial complications of accelerated trans-epithelial corneal crosslinking in treatment of keratoconus: a case series.

Background: To report a case series of early postoperative complications following combined accelerated corneal crosslinking (CXL) and trans-epithelial technique in keratoconus.

Case Presentations: Eleven eyes underwent accelerated trans-epithelial CXL (18 mW/cm for 5 min). Seven eyes (64%) developed complications in the first week postoperatively.

Predictability and stability of laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy with mitomycin C for the correction of high myopia.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictability and stability of laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) with mitomycin C (MMC) in correction of high myopia (≤-6.0 diopters [D]) as compared to low-to-moderate myopia (>-6.0 D).

Serial Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Acute Retinal Pigment Epitheliitis and the Correlation to Visual Acuity.

Purpose: To evaluate the features of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (ARPE) at onset and in the course of recovery by serial spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and the correlation to visual acuity (VA).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Participants: Consecutive patients with ARPE.
