[THE CHALLENGE OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IN PEDIATRIC RETINAL DETACHMENT].

Retinal detachment is visually impairing in children and adults. The treatment for retinal detachment is challenging, especially in children. There are many etiologies for retinal detachment such as retinal detachment due to retinal tear (rhegmatogenous), tractional retinal detachment and exudative detachment.

Safety and Efficacy of Repeated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking in Progressive Keratoconus.

Purpose: Keratoconus is a progressive visually impairing disorder. Despite the beneficial effects of epithelial off-crosslinking (CXL) on the stabilization of keratoconus, progression may still occur. We report the efficacy and safety of a repeated CXL for significant progression of keratoconus after a single CXL procedure.

Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors for the treatment of astrocytic hamartoma in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

Purpose: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an inherited neurocutaneous disorder. Fifty percent of patients with TSC will develop retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH). The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors interferes with the pathological mechanisms of TSC.

Ophthalmologists and WhatsApp: Teleophthalmology is already here.

Purpose: To estimate the extent of WhatsApp utilization using text and media messages for inter-physician consultations among ophthalmologists (residents and specialists) at various clinical settings and its perceived benefits for ophthalmologists and their patients. We also aimed to detect obstacles that concern ophthalmologists when using WhatsApp as a consultation platform.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a self-administered survey through Google Forms, which was sent to 660 practicing ophthalmologists during April to May 2020.

A novel EyePhone© App for improving adherence to glaucoma therapy.

Purpose: Despite advances in glaucoma treatment options, patient adherence and compliance remain very low. The EyePhone© App is a free non-commercial reminder application designed specifically for the needs of glaucoma patients. In this study, we evaluated its usefulness in improving adherence to medical treatment among glaucoma patients.

Chorio-retinal toxoplasmosis: treatment outcomes, lesion evolution and long-term follow-up in a single tertiary center.

Background: Ocular toxoplasmosis is a common cause of ocular inflammation worldwide. The aim of this study is to characterize the clinical outcomes and lesion evolution of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis and to compare the primary and reactivation subgroups.

Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort study at one uveitis-specialized tertiary referral center.
