Published: June 2023

Ocular prostheses play a vital role in restoring the appearance and functionality of the eye for individuals who have suffered from eye loss due to trauma, surgery, tumors, or congenital eye defects. This case report presents the successful fabrication and fitting of a custom-made ocular prosthesis for a patient with an eye defect. The process involved careful examination and digital imaging for the fabrication of prostheses. The custom prosthesis provided an excellent aesthetic match, improved comfort, and enhanced the patient's self-confidence, ultimately leading to an improved quality of life.

Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by eliciting trait-specific eye movements in multi-visual tasks.

J Transl Med

School of Information and Communication Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, No. 2 Linggong Road, 116024, Dalian, China.

Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, and eye movement abnormalities are a significant symptom of its diagnosis. In this paper, we developed a multi-task driven by eye movement in a virtual reality (VR) environment to elicit PD-specific eye movement abnormalities. The abnormal features were subsequently modeled by using the proposed deep learning algorithm to achieve an auxiliary diagnosis of PD.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Optic Neuritis Subtypes From Ocular Fundus Photographs.

Background: Optic neuritis (ON) is a complex clinical syndrome that has diverse etiologies and treatments based on its subtypes. Notably, ON associated with multiple sclerosis (MS ON) has a good prognosis for recovery irrespective of treatment, whereas ON associated with other conditions including neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease is often associated with less favorable outcomes. Delay in treatment of these non-MS ON subtypes can lead to irreversible vision loss.

Purpose: To assess the impact of autologous serum (AS) tears at a 50% concentration on the ocular surface of patients with refractory dry eye disease (DED) because of Sjogren syndrome.

Methods: Twenty eyes of ten patients with severe immune-mediated DED were contralaterally randomized to receive either AS tears 50% or artificial tears between June 2021 and May 2023. Changes in tear stability, ocular surface staining, and in the morphology of the corneal sub-basal nerves were evaluated before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment using objective tests for DED and confocal microscopy.

Retinal diseases can severely impair vision and even lead to blindness, posing significant threats to both physical and mental health. Physical retinal regenerative therapies are poised to revolutionize the treatment of various disorders associated with blindness. However, these therapies must overcome the challenges posed by the protective inner and outer blood‒retinal barriers.

Article Synopsis
  • The introduction describes the growing issue of postoperative complications and how a new risk stratification tool, CARES-ML, aims to reduce these risks by identifying high-risk patients early.
  • The study design involves a randomized controlled trial with over 9,200 patients undergoing elective surgeries, comparing outcomes between those guided by the CARES tool and those who are not.
  • The ethics section ensures patient consent and language support, with the study approved by the relevant review board and funding from Singapore’s National Medical Research Council, leading to findings that will be shared in peer-reviewed journals.
