Background: Perineural spread of cutaneous head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is most effectively managed by surgical resection with a clear central margin at the affected nerve. For ophthalmic nerve disease, there is no clear consensus regarding the extent of spread which is resectable via an orbit-preserving neurectomy, either in regard to oncological outcome or technical feasibility.
Methods: Cadaveric anatomical study of 10 human orbits, with endoscopic and exoscopic dissection of the frontal division of the ophthalmic nerve, to quantify the maximal extent of resection via orbit-preserving techniques and to discern the advantages and disadvantages of exoscopic versus endoscopic visualization aids.
Results: Mean achievable resection length measured from the supraorbital ridge was 40.9 mm (n = 10). No branching patterns were identified which would preclude neurectomy as an oncologically sound option.
Conclusions: Orbit-preserving resection of the ophthalmic nerve is technically feasible to a distance of approximately 4 cm, encompassing the majority of Williams Zone 1.

Dokuz Eylul University, Department of Ophthalmology, Izmir, Turkiye.
Background: Eye function is vitally dependent on an adequate blood supply, primarily provided by the ophthalmic artery, an internal carotid artery branch. This review provides an overview of the vascular supply of the eye.
Methods: A targeted search of PubMed / MEDLINE was performed using the terms "central retinal vein," "central retinal artery," "internal carotid artery," "ophthalmic artery," "ophthalmic vein," "posterior ciliary arteries," "retinal capillaries," "vascular supply of the eye," "ocular vascular supply," "external carotid artery," and "vortex vein".
Introduction: To evaluate the structure-function relationship between steady-state pattern electroretinogram (ssPERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field (VF) tests, and to investigate indicators that enhance the detection of preperimetric and early-stage primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with POAG and normal subjects who underwent ssPERG, OCT, and VF tests were included. We defined the ratio of the amplitudes from 0.
