Purpose: To compare the ocular and corneal higher-order aberrations (HA) in eyes of different ages.
Design: Observational cross-sectional study.
Methods: Sixty-six eyes of 66 normal subjects (age range 4-69 years; average 37.4 +/- 15.4 years) were examined. Wavefront aberrations of the whole eye (ocular) and cornea were measured for the central 4 mm using a Hartmann-Shack aberrometer.
Results: Ocular Coma-like aberration (r = 0.270, P =.029), Spherical-like aberration (r = 0.531, P =.001), and total HA(r = 0.431, P =.001) were significantly correlated with age, whereas the corneal aberrations were not significantly correlated. The ocular total HA aberrations increased significantly after age 50 years.
Conclusions: After 50 years of age, ocular aberrations increased abruptly due to the increase of lenticular HA. Customized ablation should be carefully considered, especially in eyes of presbyopic age.

Refractive error maps: A predictive tool for refractive error progression.
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
January 2025
Faculty of Health, Medicine and Social Care, Medical Technology Research Centre, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, UK.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of axial length on different ocular parameters and create a predictive tool for refractive error progression.
Methods: Two eye models were used to simulate refractive errors, namely the Liou-Brennan and the Goncharov-Dainty. Both models were simulated using Zemax OpticStudio.
Relationship of Angle Kappa with Ocular Parameters using Swept-Source Ocular Coherence Tomography in Cataract Surgery Patients.
Curr Eye Res

Sussex Eye Hospital, Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, Brighton, UK.
Purpose: To assess the relationship between angle kappa (apparent chord mu) and ocular parameters in cataract patients.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the data on apparent chord mu, age, axial length, anterior chamber depth, anterior and posterior mean keratometry, mean total keratometry, white-to-white, central corneal thickness and lens thickness were collected for consecutive cataract patients. Correlation (Pearson) between chord mu and the other ocular parameters was calculated.
Automated Detection of Filamentous Fungal Keratitis on Whole Slide Images of Potassium Hydroxide Smears with Multiple Instance Learning.

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon.
Purpose: The diagnosis of fungal keratitis using potassium hydroxide (KOH) smears of corneal scrapings enables initiation of the correct antimicrobial therapy at the point-of-care but requires time-consuming manual examination and expertise. This study evaluates the efficacy of a deep learning framework, dual stream multiple instance learning (DSMIL), in automating the analysis of whole slide imaging (WSI) of KOH smears for rapid and accurate detection of fungal infections.

Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, 83 Fenyang Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, 200031, China.
Background: To investigate the impact of central corneal astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes in patients with trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 278 eyes of 278 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP). Patients were divided into two groups according to the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) in 3 mm zone centered on the corneal apex: low astigmatism group, TCRP ≤ 0.
Dexamethasone-Antibiotic Interactions in Canine Ocular Bacteria: In Vitro Susceptibility Changes in Common Corneal Infection Pathogens.
Vet Ophthalmol
January 2025
Laboratory of Veterinary Surgery and Ophthalmology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Korea.
Objective: To investigate the impact of dexamethasone on the antibiotic susceptibility of common ocular pathogens in dogs and identify safe antibiotic-steroid combinations for veterinary ophthalmology.
Methods: This study utilized 30 bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Streptococcus canis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, collected from canine patients with suspected bacterial keratitis. The isolates were tested against 17 antibiotics in the presence of dexamethasone concentrations ranging from 0 to 2 mg/mL.
