Clinical profile and outcomes of ocular surface squamous neoplasia at the Philippine General Hospital: a retrospective study.

Aim: To evaluate the demographics, clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) at the Philippine General Hospital.

Methods: This was a single-center, 11-year retrospective, cross sectional case series on 18 cases of OSSN seen between January 2012 to June 2023. The patient's demographics, presenting symptoms, tumor characteristics, histopathologic diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and duration of follow-up were reviewed.

Surgical Outcomes for Sensory Exotropia in a Tertiary Hospital in Manila, Philippines.

Background And Objective: There is no strict by-the-book rule as to which approach is the best strabismus surgery for patients with sensory exotropia. More commonly, a monocular lateral rectus recession and a medial rectus resection (monocular R & R; MRR) is performed in the eye with a poorer prognosis. Rarely, for larger deviations, a third or fourth horizontal muscle in the better eye is added.

Accuracy of Integrated Artificial Intelligence Grading Using Handheld Retinal Imaging in a Community Diabetic Eye Screening Program.

Purpose: To evaluate mydriatic handheld retinal imaging performance assessed by point-of-care (POC) artificial intelligence (AI) as compared with retinal image graders at a centralized reading center (RC) in identifying diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME).

Design: Prospective, comparative study.

Subjects: Five thousand five hundred eighty-five eyes from 2793 adult patients with diabetes.

Comparison of Diabetic Retinopathy Lesions Identified Using Ultrawide Field Imaging and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Introduction: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) has the potential to influence the diagnosis and management of diabetic eye disease. This study aims to determine the correlation between diabetic retinopathy (DR) findings on ultrawide field (UWF) color photography (UWF-CP), UWF fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA), and OCTA.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, prospective study.

Comparison of 2-Field and 5-Field Mydriatic Handheld Retinal Imaging in a Community-Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Program.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare 2-field (2F) and 5-field (5F) mydriatic handheld retinal imaging for the assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity in a community-based DR screening program (DRSP).

Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional diagnostic study, evaluating images of 805 eyes from 407 consecutive patients with diabetes acquired from a community-based DRSP. Mydriatic standardized 5F imaging (macula, disc, superior, inferior, temporal) with handheld retinal camera was performed.

Validation of the Filipino Translation of the Impact of Vision Impairment for Children (IVI_C) Questionnaire among School Children.

Background: Quality of life questionnaires provide valuable information in assessing the effects of health interventions and public health campaigns. In the Philippines, we only have a few validated questionnaires targeted specifically for children.

Objective: To translate to Filipino and validate the translated Impact of Vision Impairment for Children Questionnaire (IVI_C).

One-field, two-field and five-field handheld retinal imaging compared with standard seven-field Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study photography for diabetic retinopathy screening.

Background/aims: To determine agreement of one-field (1F, macula-centred), two-field (2F, disc-macula) and five-field (5F, macula, disc, superior, inferior and nasal) mydriatic handheld retinal imaging protocols for the assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) as compared with standard seven-field Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) photography.

Methods: Prospective, comparative instrument validation study. Mydriatic retinal images were taken using three handheld retinal cameras: Aurora (AU; 50° field of view (FOV), 5F), Smartscope (SS; 40° FOV, 5F), and RetinaVue (RV; 60° FOV, 2F) followed by ETDRS photography.

Comparisons of handheld retinal imaging devices with ultrawide field images for determining diabetic retinopathy severity.

Purpose: To compare diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity identified on handheld retinal imaging with ultrawide field (UWF) images.

Methods: Mydriatic images of 225 eyes of 118 diabetic patients were prospectively imaged with the Aurora (AU) handheld retinal camera [5-field protocol (macula-centred, disc-centred, temporal, superior, inferior)] and compared with UWF images. Images were classified based on the international classification for DR.

Comparison of Handheld Retinal Imaging with ETDRS 7-Standard Field Photography for Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema.

Purpose: To compare nonmydriatic (NM) and mydriatic (MD) handheld retinal imaging with standard ETDRS 7-field color fundus photography (ETDRS photographs) for the assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME).

Design: Prospective, comparative, instrument validation study.

Subjects: A total of 225 eyes from 116 patients with diabetes mellitus.

Standardization of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Imaging Biomarkers in Diabetic Retinal Disease.

Optical coherence tomography Angiography (OCT-A) represents a revolution in the noninvasive evaluation of retinal and choroidal circulation especially in detecting early clinical signs of diabetic retinal disease (DRD). With appropriate use, OCT-A characteristics and measurements have the potential to become new imaging biomarkers in managing and treating DRD. Major challenges include (a) provision of standardized outputs from different OCT-A instruments providing standardized terminology to correctly interpret data; (b) the presence of artifacts; (c) the absence of standardized grading or interpretation method in the evaluation of DRD, similar to that already established in fundus photography; and (d) establishing how OCT-A might be able to provide surrogate markers to demonstrate blood retinal barrier breakdown and vascular leakage, commonly associated with DRD.

Retinal vasoproliferative tumour secondary to retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmento.

Retinitis pigmentosa can be associated with exudative vasculopathy in rare instances, which can manifest as retinal vasoproliferative tumours. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman previously diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmentosa in both eyes. She was asymptomatic and just came in for a routine follow-up eye examination.

Radiological findings of orbital blowout fractures: a review.

: To summarize the radiological findings in patients with orbital blowout fractures. : We reviewed the published literature on radiological findings of orbital blowout fractures that were searched on PubMed and included our own radiologic findings on patients with orbital blowout fractures that were seen at our hospital. : Radiologic examination reveals a variety of findings in each case.

Thickness of Retro- and Sub-Orbicularis Oculi Fat in Thyroid Eye Disease: Comparison With Controls and Its Influential Factors.

Purpose: To compare the thickness of the retro- and sub-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF and SOOF) between patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) and controls via MRI and to determine factors influencing fat thickness.

Methods: This retrospective, comparative, case-control study included 136 patients (272 sides) with TED and 50 control patients (50 sides). The thickness of the ROOF and SOOF was measured on the quasi-sagittal plane through the optic nerve (the central plane) and 6 mm lateral and medial to the central plane at the level through the superior orbital rim and at the level just below the orbital septum in the lower eyelid, respectively.
