Automated Measurement of Strabismus Angle Using a Commercial Virtual Reality Headset.

Current clinical measurements of strabismus angles (SAs) are manual and require a skilled examiner and active cooperation by patients. This results in high interexaminer variability, and clinical use is limited by the availability of trained examiners. An objective and automated procedure, independent of the examiner, would be useful.

Assessment of Ophthalmology Residency Training in Switzerland: A Trainee-Based Survey.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the current status of ophthalmology residency training in Switzerland and provide insights for enhancing training programs.

Materials And Methods: The survey covered demographic data such as gender, age, workplace, and year of residency, as well as working conditions, current practical and diagnostic skills, interest in scientific work, and future plans. It consisted of 16 multiple choice questions (MCQ), 5 multiple select questions (MSQ), 8 free-text, 6 Net Promoter Score (NPS), and 4 Likert scale questions.

Detection of Relative Afferent Pupillary Defects Using Eye Tracking and a VR Headset.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of detecting relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPDs) using a commercial virtual reality headset equipped with an eye tracker.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which we compare the new computerized RAPD test with the traditional clinical standard using the swinging flashlight test. Eighty-two participants including 20 healthy volunteers aged 10 to 88 years were enrolled in this study.

MRI signs helpful in the differentiation of patients with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and optic neuritis.

Background/aims: The aim of this study was to identify specific MRI characteristics of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) and optic neuritis (ON) that would aid in the differentiation between these two diagnoses.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed a consecutive case series including all patients with an MRI study of brain and orbit and the clinical diagnosis of either ON or AION. We examined the scans for restricted diffusion of the optic nerve, optic sheath diameter, enhancement and location of enhancement of the optic nerve and distribution of the white matter lesions.

Differences in morphology and visual function of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody and multiple sclerosis associated optic neuritis.

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G associated optic neuritis (MOG-ON) is a recently described entity. Recent studies have shown that MOG-ON has a more severe clinical presentation than classic optic neuritis (ON).

Objective: This study aimed to define morphological characteristics of MOG-ON, correlate these with clinical characteristics and compare them with multiple sclerosis associated ON (MS-ON) and healthy controls (CTRL).
