Aims
To assess the safety of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) based on surgical parameters and intraoperative complications analysis and to determine the length of the learning curve for FLACS.
Methods
A prospective consecutive coh…
Background/aims
To propose an approach to determine the target ratio of cataract surgical rates (CSRs) of female to male subpopulations to increase sex parity in cataract surgical coverage (CSC), based on the sex gap in cataract burden and incidence, …
Background
Cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are major causes of visual impairment. As these are age-related conditions, the prevalence of associated visual impairment is anticipated to increase as the population ages. Howe…
Aim
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus and to analyse associated factors in preterm and full-term infants in adulthood.
Methods
The Gutenberg Prematurity Eye Study is a retrospective cohort study with a…
Background/aims
Ocular manifestations of histiocytosis and their genetic underpinnings are poorly characterised. This study characterises ocular sites of histiocytosis, notate genetic alterations and correlates to histiocytosis clinical features inclu…
The recent publication by Lucchino et al reports on preoperative predictive factors for big bubble (BB) formation during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in keratoconus eyes.1 In a total of 140 eyes of 140 patients, the authors observed succ…
Aims
Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) has been poorly documented. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CNV in patients with XLRS, as well as analyse the prelimin…
Aims
To develop and externally test deep learning (DL) models for assessing the image quality of three-dimensional (3D) macular scans from Cirrus and Spectralis optical coherence tomography devices.
Methods
We retrospectively collected two data sets …
Aims
To describe the clinical features, multimodal imaging, treatments and natural course of acute spontaneous vortex vein occlusion.
Methods
Clinical data were collected on nine patients with acute vortex vein occlusion. The symptoms and signs, mult…
Tomographic and topographic predictive factors of big bubble formation during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in keratoconus (see page 1486) In patients with keratoconus, the classification of the severity stage assessed by anterior segment optica…
