OCT Angiography of the Retina and the Choroid in the Macula in Patients with Normal Tension Glaucoma and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

The aim of this study was to compare vessel density (VD) in the retina and choroid in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and controls. Patients with POAG, NTG and controls underwent OCT scanning of the macula and the disc followed by 6 × 6 mm macula OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging. Global and hemifield VD were recorded for the superficial (SVP) and deep (DVP) vascular plexus and the choriocapillaris (CC).

Prevalence of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy using 2018 Royal College of Ophthalmologists diagnostic criteria.

Introduction: To measure the prevalence of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy in patients attending a hydroxychloroquine monitoring service using 2018 Royal College of Ophthalmologists diagnostic criteria.

Methods: A service evaluation audit of a hydroxychloroquine retinopathy monitoring service was undertaken. Results of Humphrey 10-2 field tests, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence were collected with data on dose, weight, duration of treatment, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and concurrent tamoxifen therapy.

Onodi Cell Mucocele-Associated Optic Neuropathy: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Purpose: To present a rare case report of Onodi cell-associated optic neuropathy, conducting a review of the literature.

Methods: A 36-year-old male presented with an 18-h history of acute deterioration of vision in his left eye (LE). Ophthalmic examination and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were consistent with an Onodi cell-associated compressive optic neuropathy.

Unilateral Retinal Pigment Epithelium Dysgenesis: Long-Term Natural Evolution and Multimodal Imaging.

Purpose: To present the natural course and describe the characteristic findings of a case of unilateral retinal pigment epithelium dysgenesis (URPED) and highlight the optical coherence tomography angiography characteristics of this rare fundus pattern.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 52-year-old male was referred 8 years ago to our clinic due to a distinctive unilateral lesion in his left fundus, of which he was aware from early adulthood.

OCT Angiography Study of the Macula in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema Treated with Intravitreal Aflibercept.

: To compare foveal avascular zone density (FAZ) in the superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) capillary plexus and vessel density (VD) in the macula in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) treated with intravitreal aflibercept.: Patients with DME were imaged at baseline, and 30 days after the 1, 2 and 3 intravitreal aflibercept injection. Images were analyzed for the FAZ area in the SCP and DCP in each visit and VD.

Use of log-scaled crowded visual acuity charts in clinical studies regarding amblyopia.

Purpose: Log-scaled crowded charts using standardized testing protocol are essential for precise and reproducible visual acuity (VA) testing regarding amblyopia. Despite common acceptance of these standards, current VA testing clinical practice shows considerable diversity. The purpose of this retrospective literature review was to investigate the methodology of VA measurement and reporting in pediatric ophthalmology literature regarding amblyopia.

Safety and efficacy of chloral hydrate for procedural sedation in paediatric ophthalmology: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Although chloral hydrate (CH) has been used as a sedative for decades, it is not widely accepted as a valid choice for ophthalmic examinations in uncooperative children. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the drug's safety and efficacy.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, Google Scholar and Trip database to 1 October 2015, using the keywords 'chloral hydrate', 'paediatric' and 'procedural sedation OR diagnostic sedation'.

Pendular eyelid flap: a novel technique for the management of extensive congenital upper lid colobomas.

We present a novel technique for the surgical management of sizeable medial upper eyelid colobomas that entails advancement of an ipsilateral upper lid flap sustained by a levator aponeurosis-Müller-conjunctiva pedicle and combined with a lateral semicircular flap from the affected lid. The technique was used in 4 consecutive pediatric patients of mean age 21.2 months and mean coloboma size 12.

Bilateral intermediate uveitis with appearance of frosted branch angiitis and association with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection: case report and review of the literature.

A 12-year-old girl presented with acute bilateral visual loss following a mild upper respiratory tract infection. Clinical examination revealed bilateral severe peripheral retinal vasculitis with an appearance of frosted branch angiitis and cystoid macular edema. All tests for etiological diagnosis were negative, apart from positive IgM and IgG antibodies for Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
