Purpose: To present applications of anterior segment optical coherent tomography (AS OCT) for anomalies of the eye in a Polish paediatric cohort.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-four eyes of infants and older children were examined. The majority of them underwent general anaesthesia to allow OCT to be performed in the operating room, but a few were examined in a routine way. We focused on corneal, anterior chamber, iris, and lens disorders. Measurements included corneal morphology, anatomy of the anterior chamber, and general involvement of surrounding tissues in pathologic lesions.
Results: We divided the paediatric patients into several groups by considering the type of disease and involvement of particular tissues. The groups were selected based on OCT usefulness in describing their ocular disorders.
Conclusion: The collected anterior segment disorders showed huge usefulness for paediatric diagnosis and treatment planning.

Diagnostic approach to limbal stem cell deficiency.
Front Ophthalmol (Lausanne)

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States.
Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is an important cause of visual and ocular morbidity. Effective diagnosis and management require a thoughtful and comprehensive evaluation of the ocular surface. This review describes the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and grading of LSCD, as well as characteristic findings via slit lamp examination, confocal microscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), impression cytology, and OCT angiography.

We report a case of spontaneous coronary dissection (SCAD) in a 32-year-old pregnant patient during the seventh month of her second pregnancy. A 32-year-old pregnant woman in the 28th week of gestation was referred to our intensive care unit because of angina as well as elevated troponin levels. The initial electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) were normal.

Coats disease is a rare abnormality characterized with retinal telangiectasia and aneurysms with retinal exudation, most often seen in young males and usually affecting only one eye. A 12-year-old boy came in with a three-month history of vision loss and pain in his right eye, alongside progressively worsening blurred vision over the last year. His visual acuity was reduced to only light perception in the right eye, while his left eye maintained 5/5 vision.

Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, Cordoba, Spain.
Purpose: The main objective was to develop a prediction model based on machine learning to calculate the postoperative vault as well as the ideal implantable collamer lens (ICL) size, considering for the first time the implantation orientation in a Caucasian population.
Setting: Arruzafa Ophthalmological Hospital (Cordoba, Spain) and Barraquer Ophthalmology Center (Barcelona, Spain).
Design: Multicenter, randomized, retrospective study.
Discriminatory power of trabeculectomy bleb internal reflectivity and morphology in surgical success using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
St Paul's Eye Unit, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: The post-operative evaluation of trabeculectomy blebs has traditionally relied on subjective clinical grading systems performed at the slit-lamp. This study explores the use of swept source anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to objectively measure bleb internal reflectivity and morphology, and to distinguish blebs with surgical success vs. failure.
