Gender Compensation Gap for Ophthalmologists in the First Year of Clinical Practice.

Purpose: To identify the role of gender and other factors in influencing ophthalmologists' compensation.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: U.

New York City COVID-19 resident physician exposure during exponential phase of pandemic.

BACKGROUNDFrom March 2, 2020, to April 12, 2020, New York City (NYC) experienced exponential growth of the COVID-19 pandemic due to novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Little is known regarding how physicians have been affected. We aimed to characterize the COVID-19 impact on NYC resident physicians.

Gender Differences in Case Volume Among Ophthalmology Residents.

Importance: Although almost equal numbers of male and female medical students enter into ophthalmology residency programs, whether they have similar surgical experiences during training is unclear.

Objective: To determine differences for cataract surgery and total procedural volume between male and female residents during ophthalmology residency.

Design, Setting, Participants: This retrospective, longitudinal analysis of resident case logs from 24 US ophthalmology residency programs spanned July 2005 to June 2017.

PROPHYLACTIC PREOPERATIVE LASER RETINOPEXY DOES NOT REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL COMPLICATIONS IN MACULAR SURGERY.

Purpose: Knowledge on the utility of prophylactic 360° laser retinopexy before pars plana vitrectomy in the absence of peripheral retinal pathology is limited. This study compares the occurrence of rhegmatogenous events in the setting of small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with and without prophylactic preoperative laser.

Methods: Our multicenter, retrospective case-control analysis reviewed patients who underwent epiretinal membrane removal or macular hole repair through 23- or 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy: 205 controls who did not receive prophylactic laser and 176 cases who received preoperative prophylactic laser retinopexy anterior to the equator.

PHENOTYPING CHOROIDEREMIA AND ITS CARRIER STATE WITH MULTIMODAL IMAGING TECHNIQUES.

Purpose: To describe findings in a patient with choroideremia (CHM) and his mother, an obligate CHM carrier.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 25-year-old man with nyctalopia and poor peripheral vision since childhood, as well as a family history consistent with an X-linked retinal disorder was diagnosed with CHM.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography staging and autofluorescence imaging in achromatopsia.

IMPORTANCE Evidence is mounting that achromatopsia is a progressive retinal degeneration, and treatments for this condition are on the horizon. OBJECTIVES To categorize achromatopsia into clinically identifiable stages using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and to describe fundus autofluorescence imaging in this condition. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A prospective observational study was performed between 2010 and 2012 at the Edward S.

Vitreoretinal management and surgical outcomes in proliferative sickle retinopathy: a case series.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of current vitreoretinal surgical management of proliferative sickle retinopathy and to compare current methods to previous studies.

Design: A retrospective, interventional case series.

Methods: Fifteen eyes of 14 patients with proliferative sickle retinopathy were managed with vitreoretinal surgery over a 12-year period at a single institution.

The role of fundus autofluorescence in late-onset retinitis pigmentosa (LORP) diagnosis.

Purpose: To demonstrate the utility and characteristics of fundus autofluorescence in late-onset retinitis pigmentosa.

Methods: Observational case series. Patients diagnosed with late-onset retinitis pigmentosa were identified retrospectively in an institutional setting.

Autofluorescence imaging and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in incomplete congenital stationary night blindness and comparison with retinitis pigmentosa.

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that the evaluation of retinal structure can have diagnostic value in differentiating between incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB2) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). To compare retinal thickness differences between patients with CSNB2 and myopic controls.

Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.

Orbital perineurioma in the setting of dacryocystitis.

A benign orbital perineurioma was discovered just posterior to the lacrimal sac during surgery for recurrent bacterial dacryocystitis in an 83-year-old woman. The tumor was circumscribed but nonencapsulated and located exterior to the lacrimal sac mucosa. It was composed of cytologically bland spindle cells organized in graceful, elongated, and twisted bundles reminiscent of a storiform pattern.

High-speed ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography findings in chronic solar retinopathy.

Purpose: To describe ocular findings for a 34-year-old man with chronic solar retinopathy using high-speed ultrahigh-resolution (UHR) optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and Stratus OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) were performed.

High-speed, ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography of the retina in Hunter syndrome.

A 42-year-old man with Hunter syndrome developed bilateral visual field loss. Visual field testing demon-strated bilateral ring scotomata that corresponded to areas of thinning seen on standard resolution optical coherence tomography. High-speed, ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography, capable of 3.
