Acute Optic Neuritis: An Update on Approach and Management.

This review discusses the physical examination and diagnostic tests necessary to diagnose optic neuritis (ON) and provides an update on the approach and management of acute ON. A comprehensive search of the PubMed database was conducted, limited to English-language journals and recent publications. A total of 160 articles were initially screened by title, of which 73 articles were included in the narrative synthesis.

Head Turn During Visual Field Testing to Minimize the Influence of Prominent Facial Anatomy.

Background: Facial contour naturally decreases the visual field. Peripheral visual field defects caused by facial anatomy and ocular pathology can be missed in a routine standard of care. Mathematically calculating the true angle for turning the head to optimize the peripheral visual field has not been studied to date.

Predicting 60-4 visual field tests using 3D facial reconstruction.

Background: Despite, the potential clinical utility of 60-4 visual fields, they are not frequently used in clinical practice partly, due to the purported impact of facial contour on field defects. The purpose of this study was to design and test an artificial intelligence-driven platform to predict facial structure-dependent visual field defects on 60-4 visual field tests.

Methods: Subjects with no ocular pathology were included.

Need for Additional Glaucoma Surgery and Complications Following Glaucoma Drainage Device Surgery.

Prcis: In this longitudinal study of patients with open-angle (OAG), pseudoexfoliative (PXE), or neovascular glaucoma (NVG) receiving glaucoma drainage devices (GDD), posttube cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and visually threatening complications (VT-complications) increased beyond 5 years and were not significantly affected by glaucoma type.

Purpose: To study the need for additional glaucoma surgery and development of complications after first GDD surgery in eyes with primary OAG, PXE, or NVG glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: There were 306 eyes with OAG (n=185), PXE (n=60), or NVG (n=61) glaucoma who received a first GDD between 1996 and 2017.

Rate of Corneal Grafting Post-Glaucoma Drainage Device Use in Pediatric and Adult Patients.

Prcis: Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the rate of corneal grafting after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) placement in pediatric and adult patients. Adults were at an increased risk of receiving a corneal graft after device placement.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the rate of corneal graft implantation after GDD placement in pediatric and adult patients.

Health-related quality of life in Ahmed FP7, and Baerveldt 250 and 350 patients compared with medical controls.

Purpose: To compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Ahmed FP7 (FP7), Baerveldt 250 (B250) and Baerveldt 350 (B350) glaucoma drainage device (GDDs), and medically treated controls.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study from August 2017 to July 2019. The NEI 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25), the Adult Strabismus-20 questionnaire (AS-20) and the Diplopia Questionnaire were conducted ≥30 days postoperatively in GDD patients, on enrolment for controls.
