Objective: To study the visual outcomes and identify the predictive factors for visual outcomes in patients with eye injuries and retained intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs).
Patients And Methods: The medical records of 359 consecutive patients with eye injuries and retained IOFBs were retrospectively reviewed during 2009-2018. Demographic data, clinical findings, treatment and visual outcomes were studied.
Objective: To compare the surgical outcomes of 1-disc diameter (DD) and 2-DD conventional internal limiting membrane peeling (C-ILMP) in large full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs).
Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial. One hundred patients with large idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) were randomized into C-ILMP and extended C-ILMP (EC-ILMP) groups.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral spironolactone treatment versus conservative treatment for patients with persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in real-life practice.
Design: Retrospective comparative study.
Patients And Methods: Medical records and retinal images of 62 patients with non-resolving CSC were reviewed.
Objective: To study silicone oil (SO) emulsification, anatomic and visual outcome after complicated retinal detachment surgery by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intraocular SO tamponade, comparing between low and high viscosity SO.
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial.
Patients And Methods: Patients with complicated retinal detachment who had been surgically treated by PPV and intraocular SO tamponade were randomly divided into low viscosity (Group 1) or high viscosity (Group 2).
Purpose: To elucidate the clinical manifestations, management, and visual outcomes of patients with ocular angiostrongyliasis.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study of patients with ocular angiostrongyliasis presenting between 1995 and 2017 at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand. Cases were found based on a search of diagnostic codes.
Article Synopsis
- The study developed automated software using MATLAB for screening and diagnosing diabetic retinopathy (DR) from fundus photographs of diabetic patients.
- The software demonstrated high detection accuracy (96.25%) and sensitivity (98%) but lower specificity (67%) in distinguishing DR, while classifying the severity of DR types showed only 66.58% accuracy.
- This tool could be valuable in remote areas lacking access to ophthalmologists for effective DR screening.
Objective: To evaluate visual outcomes and possible predictive factors in the treatment of infectious endophthalmitis caused by species during 2012-2016 at a large referral eye center in northeastern Thailand.
Methods: A retrospective medical record chart review of patients with culture-positive endophthalmitis caused by species was conducted. Demographic data including age, gender, occupation, duration of symptoms, time to surgery, surgical procedures, initial visual acuity at presentation, and final visual acuity after treatment were collected and analyzed.
Objective: To determine factors affecting visual outcomes after treatment of infectious endophthalmitis during 2012-2016 at a large referral eye center in northeastern Thailand.
Patients And Methods: Medical charts of patients with a diagnosis of infectious endophthalmitis including demographic data, types of endophthalmitis, causative organisms, methods of treatment, anatomical, and functional outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Factors associated with improved visual outcomes were analyzed.

Introduction The goal of this study is to compare image quality and clinical confidence for managing post-operative cataract patients based on anterior segment smartphone images obtained in real-world settings using four types of adapters: (a) macro lens (ML), (b) ML with augmented light-emitting diode (LED) illumination (ML-LED), (c) no adapter (NA) and (d) slit lamp (SL) adapter. Methods Anterior segment images were obtained from 190 eyes after cataract surgery using an eight-megapixel iPhone 6 smartphone camera with four adapters: ML, ML-LED, NA, and SL. Smartphone images were subjectively rated by ophthalmologists as acceptable or not acceptable for: (a) image quality for evaluating the anterior segment structures and (b) reader confidence in clinically managing post-operative patients based on smartphone images.
