We compared the optic nerve head topography and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness of the strabismic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes with the normal fellow eyes and age-matched controls and concluded that, although amblyopia is a functional visual loss, RNFL thickness and optic nerve head topographic changes in strabismic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes may be affected by amblyopia. Further histopathological and clinic confirmations are needed.

Ciliary muscle traction during accommodation is able to induce optic nerve head deformation.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Key Laboratory for Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of Ministry of Education, Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Biomedical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: To use finite element (FE) modeling and in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to explore the effect of ciliary muscle traction on optic nerve head (ONH) deformation during accommodation.
Methods: We developed a FE model to mimic the ciliary muscle traction during accommodation, and varied the stiffness of the sclera, choroid, Bruch's membrane (BM), prelaminar neural tissue and lamina cribrosa (LC) to assess their effects on accommodation-induced ONH strains. To validate the FE model, OCT images of the right eyes' ONHs from 20 subjects (25 ± 1.
Morphological Features of the Pecten Oculi in the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus).
Anat Histol Embryol
January 2025
Department of Biochemistry, Yozgat Bozok University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yozgat, Turkey.
This study aimed to investigate the macroscopic, light microscopic (LM) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) characteristics of the pecten oculi in common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus). A total of six eyeballs from three common kestrels were used as the study material. The examination revealed that the bulbus oculi was spherical in shape and its diameter exceeded the axial-global length.

Objectives: While lumbar puncture (LP) remains gold standard for assessing intracranial pressure (ICP), LP can be difficult to perform and lead to complications. Noninvasive correlations for elevated ICP via ocular ultrasound (OUS) have shown mixed results. The primary objective of this study is to identify the frequency and test characteristics of the crescent sign on OUS for elevated ICP.

Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Glaucoma is characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration that results in irreversible blindness, and it can be considered a neurodegenerative disorder of both the eye and the brain. Increasing evidence suggest that glaucoma shares some common neurodegenerative pathways with Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) among others. Interestingly, a recent study revealed the presence of abnormal TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) inclusions and aggregates in retinal ganglion cells and other retinal cell types in FTLD-TDP patients; however, the significance of this pathology and its impact on retinal function and optical nerve integrity is unknown.

Department of Ophthalmology, Xi'an No. 3 Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Northwest University, Xi'an, CHN.
Choroidal nevus is the most common intraocular tumor, and most cases are benign and have no symptoms. However, choroidal nevus carries a low risk for transformation into melanoma, which is a highly aggressive and deadly cancer. In this case report, we present a male patient with blurred vision in his left eye for six months.
