Article Synopsis
- * A study at Khalili Hospital analyzed 141 cases of these injuries, finding that knives, wood, and glass were common causes, with a significant number of injuries resulting in serious conditions like iris prolapse and traumatic cataracts.
- * The research underscores the importance of preventive measures, parental supervision, and timely medical intervention to reduce the risk of severe outcomes, like retinal detachment, in young children who suffer from these injuries.
The impact of short-term postoperative face-up position on unintentional retinal displacement after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of a rigorous short-term supine position in preventing inadvertent retinal displacement after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational analysis of a case series at two ophthalmological surgical centers. We included eyes diagnosed with macula-off RRD that maintained a strict face-up position for three hours immediately after PPV with intraoperative perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and 20% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) tamponade.
Mask-related costs in measuring preview benefit: Evidence from a distributional analysis based on target word reading times.

Skilled reading involves processing the upcoming word in parafoveal vision before it is fixated, leading to shorter fixations on that word. This phenomenon, parafoveal preview benefit, is a key component of theoretical models of reading; it is measured using the invisible boundary paradigm, in which reading times on a target word are compared for instances when preview is accurate and when the target word is masked while in the parafovea. However, parafoveal masks have been shown to induce unintentional processing costs, thereby inflating measures of preview benefit.

Purpose: Microperimetry provides an accurate assessment of central retinal sensitivity due to its fundus-tracking capability, but it has limited reliability indicators. One method currently employed, fixation loss, samples the optic nerve blind spot for positive responses; however, it is unclear if these responses arise from unintentional button presses or from tracking failure leading to stimuli misplacement. We investigated the relationship between blind spot scotoma positive responses (termed scotoma responses) and fixation.

Article Synopsis
- Unwanted hair removal has become a major concern for young people, especially women, with various techniques like intense pulse light therapy and laser treatments available.
- A study comparing alexandrite, diode, and IPL found similar safety profiles across these methods, but all pose risks, including potential eye injuries from laser exposure.
- Currently, there is a lack of clear regulations and licensing for using laser hair removal devices in Australia, with incidents of serious eye injuries, such as retinal burns and uveitis, noted in medical literature.
