Adhesion of silicone oil and emulsification: an in vitro assessment using a microfluidic device and ‘Eye‐on‐a‐Chip’
ConclusionA new mechanism of emulsification of SiO is proposed: SiO adheres to ocular tissue to form emulsified droplets. The presence of HMW, which increases the extensional viscosity, may resist the break ‐up of SiO from the substrate to form emulsified droplets. When tested in a physiologically representative platform, the use of HMW in SiO generally reduces the number of droplets formedin vitro. (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)

Efficacy and safety of vitrectomy for congenital cataract surgery: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis based on randomized and controlled trials
ConclusionVitrectomy helps lower the PCO risk and reoperation risk after congenital cataract surgery, and also, vitrectomy helps patients gain a better BCVA and achieve a better low ‐contrast sensitivity, with no trade‐off on IOP control, IOL deposit, synechias, uveitis and secondary glaucoma. We recommend performing vitrectomy during congenital cataract surgery. (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)

Comparison of MultiColor fundus imaging and colour fundus photography in the evaluation of epiretinal membrane
ConclusionThe ERM area is more clearly detectable and widely demarcated in MC than in CFP images. MultiColor imaging (MC) may be more sensitive and accurate for early detection of ERM and ERM area measurement. (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)

Retinal oximetry and systemic arterial oxygen levels
ConclusionThe results of this thesis indicate that spectrophotometric retinal oximetry is sensitive to both local and systemic changes in oxyhaemoglobin saturation. Retinal oxyhaemoglobin saturation values are slightly lower than radial artery blood sample and finger pulse oximetry values. The discrepancies between the different modalities are expected to derive from countercurrent exchange between central retinal artery and vein within the optic nerve but calibration issues cannot be excluded as contributing to this difference. Despite these differences, the findings indicate the potential of retinal oximetry for noninvas...

Risk factors for high myopia: a 22 ‐year follow‐up study from childhood to adulthood
ConclusionAbout 32% of the children receiving first spectacles for myopia between ages of 8.8 –12.8 years had high myopia (SE ≤ −6.00 D in either eye) in adulthood. Different definitions of high myopia ranging between −5 D and −6 D lead to large differences in prevalence. A generally accepted definition of high myopia is thus needed. Parental myopia, age at baseline, myopic prog ression during the first post onset year, and more time spent on reading and close work and less on outdoor activities in childhood were associated with adulthood high myopia.

Biomechanical efficacy of contact lens ‐assisted collagen cross‐linking in porcine eyes
ConclusionsThe biomechanical effect of CACXL in porcine corneas is about one ‐third less than after standard CXL. The efficacy of CACXL might be improved by reducing or omitting the riboflavin film on the contact lens. Further risk assessment studies are necessary. (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)
