Transient monocular visual loss (TMVL), also known as transient monocular blindness or amaurosis fugax ("fleeting blindness"), is a temporary loss of vision often due to ischemia to the retina. While acute TMVL should be considered an emergency that further requires exhaustive investigation, there are some cases in which TMVL arises secondary to benign causes. Age has a major impact in the diagnosis of ischemia and although the differential diagnosis of TMVL can be broad, timely and appropriate history, examination, diagnostic testing, and treatment can be vision- or life-saving. We review the causes of TMVL and the impact of age on the differential diagnoses and management.

Adverse Ocular Impact and Emerging Therapeutic Potential of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: A Narrative Review.
Clin Ophthalmol
November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.
Cannabis is the most used drug worldwide with an estimated 219 million users. This narrative review aims to explore the adverse effects and therapeutic applications of cannabis and cannabinoids on the eye, given its growing clinical and non-clinical uses. The current literature reports several adverse ocular effects of cannabis and cannabinoids, including eyelid tremor, ptosis, reduced corneal endothelial cell density, dry eyes, red eyes, and neuro-retinal dysfunction.

Neuro-ophthalmic outcomes after carotid intervention for ocular symptoms.

Background: The long-term neuro-ophthalmic outcomes after carotid intervention in patients presenting with preoperative visual symptoms vary widely based on the underlying etiology of retinal ischemia and are not well understood.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients presenting with retinal ischemia who subsequently underwent carotid intervention from January 2018 to December 2022. Patients were classified into three groups (group I: amaurosis fugax/vascular transient monocular vision loss, group II: ocular ischemic syndrome [OIS], and group III: central/branch retinal artery occlusion).

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a new method for surgical instrument segmentation called the LACOSTE model, which addresses limitations in current techniques by considering both temporal motion and stereo attributes in surgical videos.
- - LACOSTE includes three key enhancements: a disparity-guided feature propagation module for depth awareness, a stereo-temporal set classifier for improved prediction accuracy, and a location-agnostic classifier to reduce location bias in mask predictions.
- - The effectiveness of this model is validated through extensive testing on three public surgical video datasets, with results showing it performs comparably or better than existing top methods in the field.
