Comment on: An eye on the brain: Adding insight to injury
I read with the interest article by Danesh-Mayer.1 She wrote that James Lydston in 1895 gave “possibly the first published reference to the optic nerve as a potential clinical and scientific window into the central nervous system.” This is the good occasion to mention the earlier contributor to this area, Polish ophthalmologist Ksawery Gałęzowski (1832-1907), who in 1866 published a w hole textbook on this topic2 and coined the term cerebroscopy for ophthalmoscopy of optic disc to diagnose central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Prediction of Visual Field Progression with Baseline and Longitudinal Structural Measurements using Deep Learning
Identifying glaucoma patients at high risk of progression based on widely available structural data is an unmet task in clinical practice. We test the hypothesis that baseline or serial structural measures can predict visual field (VF) progression with deep learning (DL). (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Uveitis Risk After the First Dose of COVID-19 Vaccination Based on Uveitis History: Matched Cohort and Crossover Case Series Study
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a global effort to rapidly develop effective vaccines. Vaccination against COVID-19 reportedly reduces the risk of developing COVID-19 and decreases the associated mortality and morbidity.1-5 As of August 2023, 66.1% of the world's population has received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, with 87.5% of the population of the Republic of Korea (approximately 44.7 million individuals) having received at least one dose.

A Prospective, Observational, Non-Interventional Clinical Study of Participants With Choroideremia: The NIGHT Study
Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare, X-linked recessive, degenerative disease of the retina and the choroid that predominantly affects males and involves progressive degeneration of the choroid and the photoreceptor layer, secondary to loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).1 –4 CHM is caused by mutations in the CHM gene, which encodes Rab Escort Protein 1 (REP1).1–3 CHM variably affects females because of X-chromosome inactivation.2,3 CHM leads to a clinical presentation which is milder in many female carriers compared with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.

Cataract Surgery Outcomes in Retinitis Pigmentosa A Comparative Clinical Database Study
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal disease phenotype, inherited as an autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR) or X-linked trait.1 RP is characterized by nyctalopia and a gradual constriction of the visual field, with eventual loss of central vision, progressing to legal blindness.2,3 The management of RP is mainly symptomatic, with the two most common vision-limiting complications being cystoid macular edema (CME) and cataract.

Comment on “Prevalence and economic burden of Keratoconus in the United States”
In this cross-sectional study,1 Bir Singh et al. used data from the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS) to describe the prevalence of keratoconus in the US. The authors use this estimate to extrapolate on trends in the economic burden of keratoconus. The total lifetime cost of keratoconus in the US was found to increase by $1.2 billion ($2.6 to $3.8 billion) over a 4-year period (2016 to 2019) – a drastic increase over a short period of time. There are several important limitations to consider when interpreting the results of this study. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)
