Objective: Using the novel imaging method of high-speed modified photoplethysmography we measured the retinal venous pulse wave velocity in a single case.
Results: A healthy 30-year-old subject underwent high-speed modified photoplethysmography (120 frames per second) with simultaneous ophthalmodynamometry at 26 Meditron units. A video of the optic nerve was analyzed using custom software. A harmonic regression model was fitted to each pixel in the time series and used to quantify the retinal vascular pulse wave parameters. Retinal venous pulsation at the optic disc was observed as a complex dynamic wall motion, whereas contraction commenced at a point in the vein at the center of the optic disc, and progressed centrifugally. The empirically estimated retinal venous pulse wave velocity at this segment was approximately 22.24694 mm/s. This measurement provides an estimate for future studies in the field.

Article Synopsis
- PAH can cause serious ocular conditions like CRVO and CilRAO due to high blood pressure in the lungs affecting blood flow to the eyes.
- A 13-year-old girl with a history of heart surgery experienced sudden vision loss, with tests revealing both CRVO and CilRAO, along with signs of severe PAH.
- Treatment with Bosentan and traditional Chinese medicine led to significant vision improvement, highlighting the importance of addressing cardiovascular issues to prevent eye complications and the need for a comprehensive approach in such complex cases.
Interplay between Netrin-1 and Norrin controls arteriovenous zonation of blood-retina barrier integrity.

The integrity of the blood-retina barrier (BRB) is crucial for phototransduction and vision, by tightly restricting transport of molecules between the blood and surrounding neuronal cells. Breakdown of the BRB leads to the development of retinal diseases. Here, we show that Netrin-1/Unc5b and Norrin/Lrp5 signaling establish a zonated endothelial cell gene expression program that controls BRB integrity.

Diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, glaucoma, and contrast-related eye diseases are well-recognized conditions resulting from high blood pressure, rising blood glucose, and elevated eye pressure. Later-stage symptoms usually include patches of cotton wool, restricted veins in the optic nerve, and buildup of blood in the optic nerve. Severe consequences include damage of the visual nerve, and retinal artery obstruction, and possible blindness may result from these conditions.

Introduction: To investigate 5-year outcomes on intraocular pressure (IOP) and safety of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in patients with glaucoma.
Methods: Patients with mild to advanced glaucoma who underwent a standardized micropulse TSCPC procedure at the University Eye Clinic Maastricht from November 2016 to February 2019 were included.
Results: A total of 165 eyes were included, with outcomes for 112 eyes available after 5-year follow-up.

Purpose: To investigate local hemodynamic changes resulting from elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in different vasculature networks using a computational fluid dynamics model based on 3D reconstructed confocal microscopic images.
Methods: Three-dimensional rat retinal vasculature was reconstructed from confocal microscopy images using a 3D U-Net-based labeling technique, followed by manual correction. We conducted a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis on different retinal vasculature networks derived from a single rat.
