Significance: Stimulus-evoked intrinsic optical signal (IOS) changes in retinal photoreceptors are critical for functional optoretinography (ORG). Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with its depth-resolved imaging capability, has been actively explored for IOS imaging of retinal photoreceptors. However, recent OCT studies have reported conflicting results regarding light-induced changes in the photoreceptor outer segments (OSs), with both elongation and shrinkage being observed.

Background: To evaluate the effect and factors associated with the reactivation of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after intravitreal conbercept or aflibercept.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 176 eyes diagnosed with ROP and treated with anti-VEGF therapy between January 2018 and September 2022. The rate of reactivation and complications were assessed during the follow-up period.

Background: To compare structural and vascular parameters between advanced pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: One hundred and six eyes of 81 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination and measurement of the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC).
D e h ydro d olichyl d iphosphate s ynthase (DHDDS) is an essential enzyme required for several forms of protein glycosylation in all eukaryotic cells. Surprisingly, three mutant alleles, ( (K42E/K42E), (T206A/K42E), and found in only one patient, (R98W/K42E) have been reported that cause non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (RP59), an inherited retinal degeneration (IRD). Because T206A was only observed heterozygously with the K42E allele in RP59 patients, we used CRISPR/CAS9 technology to generate T206A/T206A, and subsequently T206A/K42E alleles in mice to assess the contribution of the T206A allele to the disease phenotype, to model the human disease, and to compare resulting phenotypes to our homozygous K42E mouse model.

Aims: To compare the efficiency of scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without SB in patients with primary simple phakic fovea-splitting rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: A retrospective case-control study included 101 patients aged <55 years diagnosed with phakic fovea-splitting RRD. The primary outcome was functional success, defined as achieving a postoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity of 0.
