Purpose: To investigate the ability of different parameters of the RTVue-100 Fourier-domain optical coherence tomograph (RTVue-OCT) to detect early glaucomatous progression.
Methods: One eye of 17 healthy and 51 perimetric glaucoma patients was imaged prospectively at 6-month intervals for 1.5 to 3 years. Progression was determined by Octopus normal G2 visual field progression criteria.
Results: Ten of the 51 glaucoma eyes progressed based on visual field criteria. Median visual field mean defect change was -0.300 dB/y for the controls, -0.120 dB/y for all glaucoma eyes (P=0.461 vs. controls), and 1.231 dB/y for the 10 functionally progressing glaucoma eyes (P<0.001 vs. controls). Ganglion cell complex (GCC), focal loss volume, and GCC global loss volume showed significantly faster rate of progression in the glaucoma group than in controls (P=0.004 and P=0.001, respectively). No optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and average GCC parameter separated the rate of progression between the groups.
Conclusions: Early structural progression of glaucoma may be better detected with pattern-based GCC parameters of the RTVue-OCT than with the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness or average GCC parameters of the same instrument.

Background: Occupational therapists (OTs) play a crucial role in rehabilitation, aiming to improve the lives of individuals with sensory impairment and an increased risk of cognitive decline. Despite being responsible for cognitive screenings on occasion, they have expressed limited confidence in performing these with their clients with visual and/or hearing impairments (VI/HI). To improve this situation, OTs should gain expertise in collaborative sensory rehabilitation.

Background: A 69-year-old retired businessman, born in 1954, with 12 years of education, had been participating in cognitive enhancement sessions for the past 5 years. His medical history included two ischemic strokes, left hemiplegia, as well as disturbances in the left visual field. This study aimed to examine the individual's cognitive performance over the course of these 5 years, including the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has been widely used in human-computer interaction. The introduction of artificial intelligence has further improved the performance of BCI system. In recent years, the development of BCI has gradually shifted from personal computers to embedded devices, which boasts lower power consumption and smaller size, but at the cost of limited device resources and computing speed, thus can hardly improve the support of complex algorithms.

Purpose: Assessing the quality of the visual field is important for the diagnosis of ophthalmic and neurological diseases and, consequently, for rehabilitation. Visual field defects (VFDs) are typically assessed using standard automated perimetry (SAP). However, SAP requires participants to understand instructions, maintain fixation and sustained attention, and provide overt responses.
