Article Abstract
Purpose: Our aim is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Acuity 360 telemedicine system, as compared to in-person clinic examination, in identifying clinically significant eye disease. Acuity 360 is a combination of commercially available ocular imaging devices used together to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the structures and diseases of the eye.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study of consecutively examined patients where 19 remote examiners analyzed 80 patients using Acuity 360 images. The examiners' diagnoses were compared to the diagnosis obtained from in-person clinic examination of all the patients. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), false-negative rate, and inter-rater agreement were calculated.
Results: Compared to in-person clinic examination, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and false-negative rate for the optical coherence tomography (OCT) of optic nerve were 95.8%, 98.5%, 86.8%, 99.6%, 0.39% and for the combined retina examination (OCT of the macula and widefield fundus photography) were 93.4%, 88.5%, 80.2%, 96.4%, 2.19%, respectively. The median inter-rater agreement the OCT of optic nerve and the combined retina examination were each 95%.
Conclusion: The Acuity 360 telemedicine system has a low false-negative rate and is highly sensitive and specific when compared to an in-person clinic examination. It can determine the necessity for specialist referral and triage the patients that require urgent treatment. High inter-rater agreement shows that it is effective with minimal variability in analyzing the Acuity 360 images by remote examiners.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of total duration of intraretinal fluid (IRF) exposure on visual acuity and vision-related quality of life in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Design: A post hoc analysis of integrated data from the VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 trials.
Prcis: Resident-performed same-day bilateral selective laser trabeculoplasty are safe and effective for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of resident-performed same-day bilateral 360-degree selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).
Patients And Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for patients who received bilateral, resident-performed SLT at the University of Chicago from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 under the supervision of one glaucoma surgeon (MQ).
Purpose: To assess the outcome of combined phacoemulsification and 360-degree suture trabeculotomy ab externo in chronic angle closure glaucoma using a modified technique.
Methods: This is a retrospective clinical study that included 60 eyes of 60 patients who had undergone combined phacoemulsification and 360-degree suture trabeculotomy ab externo for the treatment of primary chronic angle closure glaucoma. The patients were divided into two groups.
Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. Amblyopia has been associated with impaired depth perception but little attention has been paid to the extent to which amblyopia increases the risk of obesity. Public-use data from the 1999-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used.
