Accurate detection and grading of pterygium through smartphone by a fusion training model (see page 336) The authors' fusion model method works as a helpful tool for improving pterygium detection and grading accuracy in the context of insufficient smartphone data in the absence of a mobile mature database. Collagen type XII is undetectable in keratoconus Bowman’s layer (see page 343) Collagen type XII, a regulator of corneal form and stability, is undetectable in Bowman’s layer of keratoconic corneas, suggesting a possible integral role in the pathogenesis of keratoconus. Differentiating stages of functional vision loss from glaucoma using the disc damage likelihood scale and cup/disc ratio (see page 349) Disc damage likelihood scale (DDLS) and cup/disc ratio distinguished early/moderate/advanced from severe/end-stage glaucoma. DDLS achieved a significant larger area under the receiver-operating curve. Both techniques are important for planning the...
