Eye-Rubbing Detection Using a Smartwatch: A Feasibility Study Demonstrated High Accuracy With Machine Learning.

Purpose: In this work, we present a new machine learning method based on the transformer neural network to detect eye rubbing using a smartwatch in a real-life setting. In ophthalmology, the accurate detection and prevention of eye rubbing could reduce incidence and progression of ectasic disorders, such as keratoconus, and to prevent blindness.

Methods: Our approach leverages the state-of-the-art capabilities of the transformer network, widely recognized for its success in the field of natural language processing (NLP).

Purpose: To assess visual acuity, binocular defocus curve, spectacle independence, and photic phenomena after bilateral same-day cataract surgery with implantation of an extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens (IOL) with mini-monovision.

Methods: Single-center retrospective study including 124 eyes from 62 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of an isofocal EDOF lens [Isopure® (BVI)] with mini-monovision (-0.50 D).

Deep Learning Model for the Detection of Corneal Edema Before Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty on Optical Coherence Tomography Images.

Purpose: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is the preferred method for treating corneal endothelial dysfunction, such as Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). The surgical indication is based on the patients' symptoms and the presence of corneal edema. We developed an automated tool based on deep learning to detect edema in corneal optical coherence tomography images.

Dacryolithiasis diagnosis and treatment: a 25-year experience using nasal endoscopy.

Background: Dacryolith-induced epiphora is caused by a chronic obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct whose aetiology is often specified peroperatively. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has been often regarded as the gold standard to treat dacryolithiasis. Hasner's valve (HV) incision is a technique to evacuate lithiasis through its physiological track.

Antirheumatic Drug Intake Influence on Occurrence of COVID-19 Infection in Ambulatory Patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: A Cohort Study.

Introduction: We aimed to study the prevalence of a history of COVID-19 infection among patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and the potential influence of long-term hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) intake.

Methods: We performed an observational monocentric cohort study at the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital ophthalmology division (Paris, France). Electronic medical records (EMR) data were searched for keywords associated with SLE, RA, SjS, or PsA.

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty for corneal decompensation due to migrating metallic intracorneal foreign bodies in an aphakic eye following a 39-year-old blast injury: A case report.

Purpose: To report the use of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) for secondary surgical removal of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) years after the trauma as migration occurred through the endothelium, damaging the endothelium, and causing corneal edema.

Observations: We report the case of a blast injury in 1972, that led to left eye traumatic cataract managed with vitrectomy and lensectomy. Although thorough removal was attempted, some corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies remained.

Evaluation of Ischemic Heart Disease Factors in Hemophilia Patients in Khorramabad.

Background: Evaluation of risk factors associated with coronary artery disease and cardiac health in hemophilia patients is necessary to prevent the onset of ischemic heart disease. In this study, we evaluated the cardiovascular status of hemophilic patients in Lorestan province for the early onset of ischemic heart disease.

Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 80 patients presenting severe hemophilia, a detailed questionnaire-based investigation was conducted to analyze the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in severe hemophilic patients.

In vivo visualization of variable photoreceptor alteration in a case of peripapillary congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium using spectralis ® high magnification module.

Purpose: To analyze using the high magnification module (HMM) a case of peripapillary congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) and to correlate the findings to multimodal imaging and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA, PLEX® Elite 9000, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, California, USA) imaging.

Observations: A 57-year-old Caucasian woman presenting a peripapillary CHRPE of the left eye (LE) was examined using HMM and SS-OCTA, in addition to multimodal imaging. SS-OCTA disclosed the gradual changes, with four distinguishable zones: Zone 1 with complete outer retinal and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy, Zones 2 and 3, corresponding to incomplete outer retinal (and RPE) atrophy presenting increased flow deficits, and normal choriocapillaris outside the lesion (Zone 4).

Outcomes of pattern scanning laser trabeculoplasty and selective laser trabeculoplasty: Results from the lausanne laser trabeculoplasty registry.

Purpose: To compare the long-term safety and efficacy of pattern scanning laser trabeculoplasty (PSLT) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Methods: This was a retrospective database analysis (Lausanne Laser Trabeculoplasty Registry) of patients having had laser trabeculoplasty (LT) prior to 2017 with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Inclusion criteria were age ≥40 years and diagnosis of ocular hypertension (OHT) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

EyeWatch Rescue of Refractory Hypotony After Baerveldt Drainage Device Implantation: Description of a New Technique.

The most effective way to control glaucoma is by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in order to prevent the progression of the disease. Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are surgical option reserved for refractory cases and have been designed to address known complications of conventional filtering surgery. They are, however, associated with a higher rate of complications related to early hypotony and late corneal decompensation.

Sensitivity of indocyanine green angiography compared to fluorescein angiography and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography during tapering and fine-tuning of therapy in primary stromal choroiditis: A case series.

Purpose: To investigate indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), fluorescein angiography (FA), and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography measured choroidal thickness (EDI-OCT-CT) in the follow-up of inflammatory activity in stromal choroiditis [Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) and birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC)] under treatment in order to monitor tapering of therapy or readjustment of therapy in case of subclinical disease recurrence.

Methods: Patients with initial onset disease and/or treatment-naive stromal choroiditis (VKH & BRC) at entry, quiet under therapy, and having had a follow-up of at least four years monitored with dual FA and ICGA and EDI-OCT-CT measurements were analyzed retrospectively. ICGA and FA scores and EDI-OCT-CT values were correlated with therapy, and significant changes of each modality were correlated with disease evolution.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease and Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy, Similarities and Differences: A Glimpse into the Clinicopathology of Stromal Choroiditis, a Perspective and a Review.

The purpose of this work was to give a comprehensive and updated review on two primary stromal choroiditis entities, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) and birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC). Their appraisal has become much more precise thanks to new investigational methods, such as indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), which give substantially improved imaging access to the choroid. In this review, we focus on the crucial changes brought by this progress in the understanding, diagnosis, and management of these disorders.
