Visible-light optical coherence tomography (vis-OCT) is a novel noninvasive retinal imaging system that offers improved resolution compared to conventional near-infrared (NIR) OCT systems. Here, we utilized vis-OCT to produce fibergrams (vis-OCTF) for the first time in human patients, enabling visualization and precise quantification of hyperreflective dots in the central fovea in two patients. We also directly compare the imaging qualities of conventional vis-OCT and NIR-OCT.

Purpose: To investigate the mechanisms producing ptosis in anophthalmic patients by comparing potential risk factors among patients with ptosis with a control group. Specific techniques for achieving optimal aesthetic results in the surgical correction of anophthalmic ptosis are recommended.

Methods: Data from 94 anophthalmic patients with ptosis and 44 control patients without ptosis were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
