Test performance of optical coherence tomography angiography in detecting retinal diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Smartphone and tablet use in Australia and worldwide is reaching saturation levels and associated visual and ocular discomfort such as headaches, eyestrain, dry eyes and sore eyes are widespread. Thi...

Intravitreal dexamethasone implant as an alternative to systemic steroids as prophylaxis for uveitic cataract surgery: a randomized trial

Transfer learning from natural image datasets, particularly ImageNet, using standard large models and corresponding pretrained weights has become a de-facto method for deep learning applications...

Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements) in cases of congenital stationary night blindness arises from light-induced synchronization of oscillating retinal ganglion cells, revealing that some forms of nystagmus can have a retinal origin, rather than originating…

EPFL scientists have helped develop a microscopic glass device that doctors could use to inject medicine into retinal veins with unprecedented accuracy. Their instrument meets an important need in eye ...

SPOT-RVC is a monolithic fused silica tool developed by Instant-Lab (EPFL), Galatea (EPFL) and Femtoprint with the participation from Swiss Innovation Agency.

Perception is utterly baffling. We can precisely describe the biological structure of eyes and brains. We can measure the electrochemical impulses and electrical fields generated by neurons. But reason ...

This randomized trial compares the effects of oral methotrexate, 25 mg weekly vs oral mycophenolate mofetil, 3 g daily, on measures of inflammation in patients with noninfectious uveitis.

Aims
Narrower retinal arterioles and wider retinal venules have been associated with macrovascular forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether they are predictive of the development of h...

Training for physicians has a new name and a new focus. Abi Rimmer looks at what’s changed and why

Earlier this month the first cohort of junior doctors entered internal medical training (IMT), which replaces core medical training (CMT). Abi Rimmer spoke…

Purpose
To correct peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) measurements performed with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) for low image quality factor (QF) in patients wit...

This qualitative evaluation investigates the financial and environmental costs of unused pharmaceutical products after phacoemulsification surgery among US surgical sites.

This cohort study of claims from a national US insurer examines trends in and factors associated with rates of filled opioid prenoscriptions after incisional ocular surgeries.

An on-chip tunable photonic delay line is a key building block for applications including sensing, imaging, and optical communication. However, achieving long and tunable delay lines within a small...

Nature Communications - The use of PET for detection of Aβ in the brain in AD has limitations; studies also indicate that retinal changes, including Aβ deposition, occur in AD. Here the...

Myopic eyes have an increased risk of glaucoma. However, glaucomatous changes in a myopic eye are often difficult to detect. Classic structural and functional investigations to diagnose glaucoma may be confounded by myopia. Here, we identify some of the common…
