DeepLensNet: Deep Learning Automated Diagnosis and Quantitative Classification of Cataract Type and Severity.

Purpose: To develop deep learning models to perform automated diagnosis and quantitative classification of age-related cataract from anterior segment photographs.

Design: DeepLensNet was trained by applying deep learning models to the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) dataset.

Participants: A total of 18 999 photographs (6333 triplets) from longitudinal follow-up of 1137 eyes (576 AREDS participants).

Selective laser trabeculoplasty vs micropulse laser trabeculoplasty in open-angle glaucoma.

Aim: The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) vs micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in open-angle glaucoma patients.

Patients And Methods: In all, 38 patients were randomized to 360° MLT and 31 patients were randomized to 360° SLT. IOP was measured at intervals of 1 hour and 1, 1-6, 6-12, 6-24, 24-36, and 36-52 weeks.

Corneal edema and keratitis following selective laser trabeculoplasty.

Purpose: To describe three cases of keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Observations: Three females with a history of glaucoma presented with corneal edema, keratitis (endothelial, epithelial) and decreased visual acuity shortly after SLT. There was variable resolution of symptoms after starting treatment with oral antiherpetics and topical steroids.

Marijuana Use Among Patients With Glaucoma in a City With Legalized Medical Marijuana Use.

Importance: Previous research has shown several limitations associated with the use of marijuana as a treatment for glaucoma. However, little is known regarding patients' perceptions toward using marijuana for glaucoma and their intentions to use this therapeutic alternative.

Objective: To identify factors among patients with glaucoma that could lead to intentions to use marijuana for treatment.

Indirect cyclopexy for treatment of a chronic traumatic cyclodialysis cleft with hypotony.

Cyclodialysis cleft is a rare clinical finding and therefore, reports on surgical repair techniques in the literature are limited. Additionally, hypotony can make repair technically challenging. We share a novel, simple surgical approach to management of a case of chronic traumatic cyclodialysis cleft with a successful outcome.

Peripheral laser iridoplasty opens angle in plateau iris by thinning the cross-sectional tissues.

Plateau iris syndrome has been described as persistent angle narrowing or occlusion with intraocular pressure elevation after peripheral iridotomy due to the abnormal plateau iris configuration. Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) is an effective adjunct procedure to treat plateau iris syndrome. Classic theory suggests that the laser causes the contraction of the far peripheral iris stroma, "pulls" the iris away from the angle, and relieves the iris-angle apposition.
