Comparison of the performance of myopia control in European children and adolescents with defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) spectacles.

Purpose: A performance comparison of two myopia control spectacle lens designs, defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL), at slowing myopia progression in a European child/adolescent population. Previous research directly comparing these designs has been limited to Chinese participants and 1-year follow-up. The prevalence of myopia in European child/adolescent has been estimated at 22.

Surgical Treatment of Strabismus in Children With Developmental Delay: A Review of the Literature and Results of Personal Experience.

Purpose: To review the current literature, to provide a foundation of knowledge on strabismus surgery in patients with developmental delay, and to present results from the authors' personal experience.

Methods: The following terms were searched on PubMed: strabismus surgery, mental delay, developmental delay, Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, Williams syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and fetal alcohol syndrome. Surgical outcomes were analyzed and discussed; only English articles were included.

Novel artificial intelligence for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema: what is new in 2024?

Purpose Of Review: Given the increasing global burden of diabetic retinopathy and the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, this review aims to summarize the current state of artificial intelligence technology in diabetic retinopathy detection and management, assessing its potential to improve care and visual outcomes in real-world settings.

Recent Findings: Most recent studies focused on the integration of artificial intelligence in the field of diabetic retinopathy screening, focusing on real-world efficacy and clinical implementation of such artificial intelligence models. Additionally, artificial intelligence holds the potential to predict diabetic retinopathy progression, enhance personalized treatment strategies, and identify systemic disease biomarkers from ocular images through 'oculomics', moving towards a more precise, efficient, and accessible care.

A gender-based analysis of retinal microvascular alterations in patients with diabetes mellitus using OCT angiography.

Purpose: To assess the difference in microvascular changes between males and females with diabetes mellitus (DM) without diabetic retinopathy (NoDR) and with mild-to-moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A).

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: 267 DM patients, 133 females (49.
