Effect of Intravitreal Injections on Retinal Imaging Metrics in Glaucomatous and Non-Glaucomatous Eyes.

Purpose Of Review: To summarize the available literature on retinal imaging metrics in the context of intravitreal injections in glaucomatous and non-glaucomatous eyes.

Recent Findings: The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in injected non-glaucomatous eyes appears to thin at a similar rate to uninjected fellow eyes. A total of four studies evaluating RNFL thinning in injected glaucomatous eyes yielded mixed results, with more recent longitudinal investigations suggesting a potential association.

Melanoma in the setting of nevus of Ota: a review for dermatologists.

Nevus of Ota, also known as oculodermal melanocytosis or nevus fuscoceruleus ophthalmomaxillaris, is a benign dermal melanocytic nevus that most commonly affects Asian women. While the lesion is largely a cosmetic concern, it has the potential to undergo malignant transformation to melanoma. Patients with nevus of Ota often present to a dermatologist at some point for examination or removal with laser therapy.

Mitochondrial lipid profiling data of a traumatic optic neuropathy model.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a degenerative process that occurs in a subset of patients following blunt force trauma to the head. This condition is characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and axon degeneration within the optic nerve [1]. At the cellular level, mitochondrial changes are associated with many optic neuropathies [2, 3].

Lipidomics dataset of sonication-induced traumatic optic neuropathy in mice.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is the loss of vision secondary to trauma. Approximately two weeks after traumatic damage, diffuse retinal ganglion cell loss and axon degeneration of the optic nerve are exhibited [1]. Here we present the changes that occur in the optic nerve lipidome of two-month-old C57BL/6J mice following sonication-induced TON (SI-TON), which closely models the indirect clinical mechanism in TON.
