Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly adalimumab (ADA) treatment in non-infectious uveitis (NIU) patients, including both pediatric and adult populations, and identify factors influencing treatment efficacy.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at two hospitals in Türkiye included 51 NIU patients (29 children, 22 adults) who escalated from bi-weekly to weekly ADA due to inadequate disease control. Data on six clinical parameters (anterior chamber reaction, vitreous haze, visual acuity, central macular thickness [CMT], prednisone use, uveitis flare-up frequency), adverse effects, and treatment-related factors were collected.

Objective: To propose Deep-RPD-Net, a 3-dimensional deep learning network with semisupervised learning (SSL) for the detection of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) on spectral-domain OCT scans, explain its decision-making, and compare it with baseline methods.
Design: Deep learning model development.
Participants: Three hundred fifteen participants from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 Ancillary OCT Study (AREDS2) and 161 participants from the Dark Adaptation in Age-related Macular Degeneration Study (DAAMD).

Purpose: Wearable electronic low vision enhancement systems (wEVES) improve visual function but are not widely adopted by people with vision impairment. Here, qualitative research methods were used to investigate the usefulness of wEVES for people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after an extended home trial.
Methods: Following a 12-week non-masked randomised crossover trial, semi-structured interviews were completed with 34 participants with AMD, 64.
