Background: This study aimed to evaluate mydriasis stability during cataract surgery in patients with systemic comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) after a standardised combination of intracameral mydriatics and anaesthetic (SCIMA). Stable mydriasis is crucial for safe and effective phacoemulsification.

Methods: Patients were included if they achieved pupil dilation ≥6.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in dominant and contralateral eyes following the dark room prone provocative test (DRPPT) in the study subjects with shallow anterior chamber.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, non-randomized controlled trial of 43 subjects (86 eyes) with shallow anterior chamber. The dominant eye was identified using the card-hole method.

EXPRESS: The Time Course of Cognitive Effort During Disrupted Speech.

Q J Exp Psychol (Hove)

Hearing Aid Laboratory, Northwestern University, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders Evanston, IL, USA.

Listeners often find themselves in scenarios where speech is disrupted, misperceived, or otherwise difficult to recognize. In these situations, many individuals report exerting additional effort to understand speech, even when repairing speech may be difficult or impossible. This investigation aimed to characterize cognitive effort across time during both sentence listening and a post-sentence retention interval by observing the pupillary response of participants with normal to borderline normal hearing in response to two interrupted speech conditions: sentences interrupted by gaps of silence or bursts of noise.

A pupil called Worry: Mydriasis in orbital surgery.

Clin Neurol Neurosurg

Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; Department of Neurosciences, Catholic University Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. Electronic address:

Objective: Surgeons routinely check the pupils to assess, in part, the brain stem function and the neural integrity of the visual system. Where a relative afferent pupillary defect is difficult to notice during surgery, an efferent pupillary defect or mydriasis is clearly recognizable. Visual loss in orbital surgery is attributed to compromised perfusion of the optic nerve, retina, or choroid, but an association with mydriasis is generally not assumed.

The choroid, a critical vascular layer beneath the retina, is essential for maintaining retinal function and monitoring chorioretinal disorders. Existing imaging methods, such as indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), face significant limitations, including contrast agent requirements, restricted field of view (FOV), and high costs, limiting accessibility. To address these challenges, we developed a nonmydriatic, contrast agent-free fundus camera utilizing transcranial near-infrared (NIR) illumination.
