Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the intra- and interobserver variability of two Scheimpflug based camera systems, Pentacam and Sirius. In addition, the comparability of the measurements was tested in healthy subjects, subjects with regular astigmatism, and keratoconus patients. Methods. Intra- and interobserver variability were assessed in 20 healthy corneas. Pachymetry values were also compared with ultrasound pachymetry as a reference measurement. To detect possible differences between the two devices, 82 eyes with clinically established keratoconus, 30 eyes with regular astigmatism (>1.5 D), and 60 eyes without corneal pathologies were included in this prospective study. Results. Pachymetry and keratometry showed good intra- and interobserver variability for both devices. Pachymetry values obtained with the Sirius system (579 ± 58 μm) were significantly higher compared to the Pentacam system (551 ± 40 μm, P < 0.001) and to ultrasound pachymetry (550 ± 43 μm, P < 0.001). Significant interdevice differences were found regarding the majority of the detected keratometry parameters. Conclusions. Both devices show almost perfect reproducibility in healthy subjects. However, pachymetry and keratometry values of the two devices should not be used interchangeably.

Purpose: Based on ideal outcomes of corneal topography following orthokeratology (OK), an innovative machine learning algorithm for corneal refractive therapy (CRT) was developed to investigate the precision of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted OK lens fitting.
Methods: A total of 797 eyes that had been fitted with CRT lenses and demonstrated good lens centration with plus power ring intact in their topography were retrospectively included. A comprehensive AI model included spherical refraction, keratometry readings, eccentricity, corneal astigmatism, horizontal visible iris diameter, inferior-superior index, surface asymmetry index, surface regularity index and 8-mm chordal corneal height difference.

Background: Baraitser-Winter syndrome (BWS) is rare, and no previous reports have described the visual course of patients with this condition. Herein, we report the long-term visual outcomes and ocular features of a 6-year-old patient diagnosed with BWS.
Case Presentation: A 6-year-old female patient visited our clinic complaining of low vision.

Article Synopsis
- Trigonocephaly, a condition affecting the shape of the head, is linked to poorer visual outcomes in children, but its impact on orthoptic issues post-visual development is unclear.
- A study assessed 78 non-syndromic trigonocephaly patients aged 8 and older, finding a significant prevalence of refractive errors and other visual abnormalities compared to healthy peers.
- Results indicated trigonocephaly patients have a much higher risk for issues like hyperopia, amblyopia, and strabismus, suggesting the need for regular eye screenings and long-term monitoring by specialists.
