Deep learning algorithms have been used to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR) with specialist-level accuracy. This study aims to validate one such algorithm on a large-scale clinical population, and compare the algorithm performance with that of human graders. A total of 25,326 gradable retinal images of patients with diabetes from the community-based, nationwide screening program of DR in Thailand were analyzed for DR severity and referable diabetic macular edema (DME).

Purpose: To determine whether penetrating scleral or corneal injury can enhance intraocular penetration of systemic moxifloxacin, vancomycin, and ceftazidime.
Methods: Thirty rabbits were divided into 3 groups for each antibiotic and then further subdivided to receive either scleral or corneal injury to the right eye. The left eye served as a control.
Purpose: To report four cases of premacular hemorrhage secondary to valsalva retinopathy treated with Nd:YAG membranotomy and discuss techniques as well as the literature.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for four patients with vision obstructing hemorrhage secondary to valsalva retinopathy.
