Objective: This study aims to identify research trends and hot spots in the treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) over the past decade using bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection, including Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). The data underwent manual cleaning to remove inaccuracies and irrelevancies, followed by transformation into an analyzable format via the VOSviewer software.
Purpose: Aims to provide an overview of the contemporary epidemiology of malignant orbital tumors by analyzing population-based incidence patterns across various regions worldwide.
Methods: In this article, we retrieved orbital malignancy data from the MEDLINE database and analyzed the incidence and prevalence of orbital malignancies worldwide. We performed the literature search by searching on the Mesh terms for malignant orbital tumors ("orbital", "tumor", "lymphoma", "malignant", "cancer", "incidence", and "epidemiology").

Background: Intraocular malignant tumors represent a severe disease that threatens vision as well as life. To better extend the life of the patient, preserve visual function, and maintain ocular aesthetics, selecting the appropriate timing and methods of treatment becomes crucial.
Main Text: With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the techniques and methods for treating intraocular malignant tumors are constantly evolving.
Objective: To quantitatively assess the periocular asymmetry and investigate its sex and age-related differences in a Caucasian population using three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry.
Method: Standardized 3D photos of the periocular region of 301 Caucasians were taken using the VECTRA M3 3D Imaging System. Standardized landmarks were positioned, and data measurements in the periocular region were obtained from these images using VAM software and assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for reliability.
Purpose: To define the regular upper eyelid anatomy and their changes during dynamic motion using ultrasonographically depicted structures.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: High-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy (50MHz) was performed on 84 upper eyelids of 42 healthy volunteers without evidence of eyelid conditions.
Purpose: To explore the role of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in the occurrence and development of various ocular malignancies.
Methods: In this article, we retrieved ocular malignancy data from the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) and performed correlation analysis with the global UV index and sunshine duration. We searched for associated studies using the following databases: Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar.
Orbital and periocular metastatic tumors used to be considered very rare; however, with the constant updating of drugs and detection methods for cancer treatment, new chemotherapies and radiation treatments are being used. The life expectancy of cancer patients has become longer and periocular metastases are becoming easier to detect. Our knowledge of this rare disease of metastases also needs to be updated.

We here discuss the development of the choroid, as well as the question of choroidal lymphatics, and further the neuronal control of this tissue, as well as the pathologic angiogenesis. Wherever possible, functional aspects of the various structures are included and reviewed.

An important differential diagnosis are primary headache disorders and other neurological diseases, for example of inflammatory origin, which trigger secondary pain. Chronic eye pain therefore requires interdisciplinary collaboration in the diagnostics and treatment.

Utilizing photographic documentation can assist physicians in conducting preoperative analysis and managing expectations regarding surgical outcomes.
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the periocular characteristics of dermatochalasis patients using standardized 3D imaging and to compare age and sex-related changes in periocular features.
Background: Although a portable 3-dimensional (3D) imaging system has been used for periocular measurement analysis, this system has yet to be tested and validated for periocular area and volume measurements.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to define the upper eyelid and upper eyelid fold region through a modified landmark strategy and validate a portable 3D imaging system for area and volume measurements in this periocular region.
Methods: Eighty-one healthy adult Caucasians underwent 3D facial imaging with the VECTRA M3 (static) and VECTRA H2 (portable) 3D imaging systems (Canfield Scientific, Inc.
Objective: To explore the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the pathogenesis of glaucoma caused by E50K mutation.
Methods: A photoreceptor cell line, RGC-5, was transfected with empty plasmids and plasmids expressing wild-type (WT) optineurin (OPTN) or E50K OPTN to investigate the effects of OPTN glaucoma as well as to identify the role of EVs in glaucoma pathology. The RGC-5 cells were also stimulated with glutamate, and their viability was evaluated using flow cytometry or CCK-8 assay.

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging and morphometrics are becoming the preferred craniofacial surface imaging modality. However, as a unique advantage of 3D imaging, areal and volumetric measurements have been rarely conducted and validated for evaluating soft tissue change in the periocular region, especially the upper eyelids. Therefore, based on an existing periocular landmark identification strategy, we proposed a novel modified method to define a standardized upper eyelid region for areal and volumetric measurements and validate its reliability for future clinical application.

Methods: Five tumor models of different colors and sizes were placed in different periocular positions, and 3D facial images were obtained from 68 healthy adult volunteers. Subsequently, the volumes of the tumor models were measured, and the intra- and interrater reproducibility was assessed.
Malignant tumors of the eyelids and ocular surface are common ocular malignancies. At present, surgical treatment is mostly the first choice for these types of tumors. However, postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis are still regarded as failures in the treatment of such malignancies.

Purpose: To determine age-and sex-related changes in periocular morphology in Caucasians using a standardized protocol.
Methods: Healthy Caucasian volunteers aged 18-35 and 60-90 years old were recruited from the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital, Cologne, between October 2018 and May 2020. Volunteers with facial asymmetry, facial deformities, history of facial trauma, facial surgery, botox injection, eyelid ptosis, strabismus, or nystagmus, were excluded.
Purpose: Portable three-dimensional imaging systems are becoming increasingly common for facial measurement analysis. However, the reliability of portable devices may be affected by the necessity to take three pictures at three time points. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of portable devices for assessing the periocular region.
