This paper presents our research on quantum well intermixing (QWI) of InP-based AlGaInAs/AlGaInAs multi-quantum wells using impurity-free vacancy-disordering (IFVD) and the QWI mask proximity effect and its application in the design and fabrication of a teardrop laser. Using a SiN film deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) as a QWI promoter mask and annealing under 700°C for 2 minutes, a 70 nm wavelength blue shift of a FP laser is achieved using InP-based AlGaInAs quantum well laser material. It is found that a 5 µm separation is needed between the QWI mask edges and the non-QWI area during the QWI process. Based on the QWI technique and proximity effect, the designed and fabricated teardrop laser demonstrated continuous wave (CW) lasing above 40 mA and single frequency operation with a side mode suppression ratio of 32.6 dB at 77.3 mA.

Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Udine, 33100 Udine, Italy.
The management of glaucoma in pregnancy and breastfeeding requires a careful evaluation of treatment choices to guarantee the well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus. This review explores the intricacies of controlling glaucoma in pregnant and breastfeeding women, including a comprehensive overview of existing glaucoma treatment methods, clinical guidelines, and future therapeutic approaches. The efficacy and safety profiles of traditional treatment approaches, such as topical and systemic medicines and surgical treatments, are evaluated specifically about their use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Blue light reflectance (BLR) imaging offers a non-invasive, cost-effective method for evaluating retinal structures by analyzing the reflectance and absorption characteristics of the inner retinal layers. By leveraging blue light's interaction with retinal tissues, BLR enhances visualization beyond the retinal nerve fiber layer, improving detection of structures such as the outer plexiform layer and macular pigment. Its diagnostic utility has been demonstrated in distinct retinal conditions, including hyperreflectance in early macular telangiectasia, hyporeflectance in non-perfused areas indicative of ischemia, identification of pseudodrusen patterns (notably the ribbon type), and detection of peripheral retinal tears and degenerative retinoschisis in eyes with reduced retinal pigment epithelial pigmentation.

In-Office Suprachoroidal Viscopexy for Acute Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
JAMA Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: In-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a relatively new procedure for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), but minimal information is available regarding outcomes and safety.
Objective: To report outcomes with in-office SCVEXY for primary acute RRD.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective case series was conducted at St Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from June 2023 to February 2024 among consecutive patients with primary acute RRDs who presented with retinal tears that were reachable with the current in-office SCVEXY technique in the temporal or nasal retina.

Background: Objectively compare the changes in ocular surface parameters in myopic patients who have undergone either SMILE or Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL V4c) surgery.
Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 32 patients (32 eyes) undergoing SMILE surgery and 35 patients (35 eyes) receiving ICL V4c intraocular lenses. Examinations were performed at preoperative, 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month postoperative time points.
