Health-related quality of life of daily-life-affected benign essential blepharospasm: Multi-center observational study.

Purpose: To compare Thais' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and severity grading, efficacy and safety in daily-life-affected benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) patients at baseline and after Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) treatment.

Design: Prospective-observational study.

Participants: BEB patients with Jankovic rating scale (JRS) at least 3 in both severity and frequency graded from 14 institutes nationwide were included from August 2020 to June 2021.

Operative Cannulation of the Superior Ophthalmic Vein for Embolization of Cavernous Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: Surgical Techniques and Clinical Outcomes.

Background: Endovascular therapy is the first-line treatment for the cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas, particularly transvenous embolization. This study aimed to assess the trans-superior ophthalmic vein approach to embolization for its safety, efficacy, and viability as a first-line treatment in selected patients, with a description of the microsurgical and endovascular techniques.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas treated using the direct superior ophthalmic vein approach with n-butyl cyanoacrylate and coils as the main embolic materials from 2015 to 2021.

A Comparative Study of Higher order Aberrations between Pterygium and Non-Pterygium Eyes.

Background: Pterygium may induce pressure and distortion on the corneal surface leading to ocular aberrations.

Objective: To evaluate higher order aberrations in pterygium eyes.

Material And Method: Thirty-two patients with unilateral primary pterygium were enrolled.

Enhanced Depth Imaging of Central Laminar Thickness in Optic Neuropathy: Comparison with Normal Eyes.

The purpose of this study was to compare central laminar thickness (LT) among patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), patients with non-GON, and normal subjects using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Enrolled were 57 patients ( = 64 eyes), including 30 women and 27 men. Three groups were identified: GON ( = 18 eyes), non-GON ( = 16 eyes), and control ( = 30 eyes).
