Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how the thickness of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) differs between patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT) who have fixation preference versus those who do not.
  • Pediatric patients with IXT and minimal refractive error were divided into two groups: one with fixation preference (monocular exotropia) and one without (alternating exotropia).
  • Results indicated that the dominant eye in the monocular group had a significantly thinner GCIPL compared to the nondominant eye, unlike the alternating group, highlighting that fixation preference may affect macular anatomy in IXT patients.

Purpose: To assess the clinical characteristics of focal temporal optic disc microvasculature dropout (MvD-D) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Methods: One hundred and eighty-seven eyes of 187 POAG patients having MvD-D on Swept-Source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) were enrolled. Three groups were categorized according to the presence of temporal MvD-D within the upper and lower 45° of the fovea-Bruch's membrane (BM) opening axis: focal temporal MvD-D (Group 1, isolated focal temporal MvD-D; 44 eyes), supero/inferotemporal MvD-D (Group 2, MvD-D only in superotemporal or inferotemporal sector; 78 eyes), and diffuse temporal MvD-D (Group 3, MvD-D spanning ≥ 2 consecutive sectors, at least one of which being temporal sector; 65 eyes).

Purpose: We report the estimated incidence of, and risk factors for, recurrent anterior uveitis in patients with initial acute-onset Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using survival analyses.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with initial acute-onset VKH disease during 2003-2022 at two university hospitals were included. Recurrent anterior uveitis was defined as the first occurrence of the granulomatous anterior uveitis with anterior chamber cells and flare of 2+ or more by the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) Working Group grading scheme, after the disappearance of conspicuous uveitis and serous retinal detachment for at least 3 months, regardless of systemic or local treatment.
