Retinopathy of Prematurity in Eight Portuguese Neonatal Intensive Care Units: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Progression-A Prospective Multicenter Study.

Background/objectives: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal neovascular disease affecting preterm infants. Identifying risk factors for its development and progression is critical for effective screening and prevention. This study aimed to analyze the incidence of ROP and identify key risk factors for its development and progression.

Assessment of Maternal Retinal Microvasculature in Preterm Pregnancy Using OCT-Angiography: a Cross-Sectional Study.

Pregnancy induces a cascade of hemodynamic changes that are likely to affect the maternal systemic and ocular circulation. The current study aimed to investigate retinal microvasculature alterations in women with preterm and full-term pregnancy using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). This was a cross-sectional, comparative, single-center study.

Radial peripapillary capillary density as a predictive factor for glaucoma in eyes with ocular hypertension. An observational, comparative, single-centred study.

Ocular hypertension (OH) is a condition characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) exceeding the normal range, without any evident damage to the optic nerve or visual field defects characteristic of glaucoma. It constitutes a significant precursor to the development of glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. Emerging evidence has shown that microcirculation alterations in eyes with OH could serve as predicting factors to identify eyes at high risk for progression to glaucoma.

A Delphi study on the clinical management of age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the main causes of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. As achieving a dry macula is one of the main objectives in AMD management, the purpose of this work was to reach a consensus on the relevance of retinal fluid in function, disease activity control and treatment patterns.

Methods: Forty-seven Portuguese ophthalmologists specialized in AMD participated in a DELPHI panel.

A Narrative Review of the Ocular Manifestations in Noonan Syndrome.

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to provide an update on ophthalmological manifestations of Noonan Syndrome (NS). Emerging evidence has suggested that NS patients may present with a wide spectrum of ocular characteristics. Detailed investigation of genotype has revealed the diversity of related gene mutations.

Internal retinal layer thickness and macular migration after internal limiting membrane peeling in macular hole surgery.

Purpose: To provide a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT)-based analysis of retinal layers thickness and nasal displacement of closed macular hole after internal limiting membrane peeling in macular hole surgery.

Methods: In this nonrandomized prospective interventional study, 36 eyes of 32 patients were subjected to pars plana vitrectomy and 3.5 mm diameter internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for idiopathic macular hole (IMH).

Comparative Results in a Combined Procedure of Intrastromal Corneal Rings Implantation and Cross-linking in Patients with Keratoconus: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Corneal thinning disorders caused by keratoconus often lead to protrusion, irregular astigmatism, and even perforation. Keratoconus, like other corneal ectasia, does not have a known cause. Severe cases of keratoconus may require correction or restoration of tectonic integrity of the cornea by surgical means.

Results at 7years after cross-linking procedure in keratoconic patients.

Purpose: Long-term evaluation of functional results based on visual acuity, keratometry, spherical equivalent and refractive cylinder in patients with progressive keratoconus treated with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL).

Materials And Methods: We studied a group of 114 eyes of 91 consecutive patients treated from 2006 to 2009 by "Epi-off type" CXL. In the preoperative period, all patients had a complete ophthalmologic examination.

LATE-ONSET CAPSULAR BAG DISTENSION SYNDROME: A REPORT OF TWO CASES.

Capsular bag distension syndrome is a very rare complication of cataract surgery. Most cases occur after uneventful phacoemulsification with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and implantation of an intraocular lens in the capsular bag. The entity presents with reduction of visual acuity and myopic shift in the early-to-late postoperative period.

Bilateral macular edema in a patient treated with tamoxifen: a case report and review of the literature.

We present a case of a 41-year-old female patient with progressive bilateral visual loss. On examination, her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in her right eye was 3/10 and her BCVA in her left eye was 2/10. Fundus and optical coherence tomography examination revealed severe bilateral macular edema.
