Artificial intelligence deep learning algorithm for discriminating ungradable optical coherence tomography three-dimensional volumetric optic disc scans.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) is a noncontact and noninvasive imaging technology offering three-dimensional (3-D), objective, and quantitative assessment of optic nerve head (ONH) in human eyes . The image quality of SDOCT scans is crucial for an accurate and reliable interpretation of ONH structure and for further detection of diseases. Traditionally, signal strength (SS) is used as an index to include or exclude SDOCT scans for further analysis.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Compared With Optical Coherence Tomography Macular Measurements for Detection of Glaucoma.

Importance: Whether optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) outperforms OCT to detect glaucoma remains inconclusive.

Objective: To compare (1) the diagnostic performance for detection of glaucoma and (2) the structure-function association between inner macular vessel density and inner macular thickness.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study included 115 patients with glaucoma and 35 healthy individuals for measurements of retinal thickness and retinal vessel density, segmented between the anterior boundary of internal limiting membrane and the posterior boundary of the inner plexiform layer, over the 3 × 3-mm2 macula using swept-source OCT.

Advances in dry eye imaging: the present and beyond.

New advances in imaging allow objective measurements for dry eye as well as define new parameters that cannot be measured by clinical assessment alone. A combination of these modalities provides unprecedented information on the static and dynamic properties of the structural and functional parameters in this multifactorial disease. A literature search was conducted to include studies investigating the use of imaging techniques in dry eye disease.

Optical coherence tomography angiography in glaucoma: a mini-review.

The advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) provides a new opportunity to visualize the retinal vasculature in a non-invasive and dye-free manner which may help identify vascular abnormalities in glaucoma. While a reduction in retinal and optic nerve head vessel densities and blood flow indexes measured by OCT-A has been demonstrated in patients with glaucoma in many studies, it is unclear whether OCT-A provides additional information for the detection and monitoring of glaucoma compared with OCT measurements such as retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, neuroretinal rim width, and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness. Longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate whether vascular abnormalities detected by OCT-A are a cause or a consequence of optic nerve damage in glaucoma.

Depression and anxiety in dry eye disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

AimTo evaluate the association of dry eye disease (DED) with depression and anxiety.Patients and methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that reported the prevalence, incidence and/or severity grading of depression and/or anxiety in DED patients and healthy controls. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ClinicalTrials.

The Role of Computer-Assisted Technology in Post-Traumatic Orbital Reconstruction: A PRISMA-driven Systematic Review.

Post-traumatic orbital reconstruction remains a surgical challenge and requires careful preoperative planning, sound anatomical knowledge and good intraoperative judgment. Computer-assisted technology has the potential to reduce error and subjectivity in the management of these complex injuries. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to explore the emerging role of computer-assisted technologies in post-traumatic orbital reconstruction, in terms of functional and safety outcomes.

Efficacy and Safety of Topical 0.05% Cyclosporine Eye Drops in the Treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

A systematic review was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical 0.05% cyclosporine in treating patients with dry eye syndrome (DES). Twelve qualified randomized-controlled trials incorporating 1367 patients were analyzed.

Multicenter study of descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty: first case series of 18 surgeons.

Importance: Surgeons starting to perform Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) should be informed about the learning curve and experience of others.

Objective: To document the clinical outcome of standardized "no-touch" DMEK and its complications during the learning curves of experienced surgeons.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Retrospective multicenter study.
