Using Natural Language Processing to Identify Different Lens Pathology in Electronic Health Records
Nearly all published ophthalmology-related Big Data studies rely exclusively upon International Classification of Diseases (ICD) billing codes to identify patients with particular ocular conditions. However, inaccurate or non-specific codes may be used. We assessed whether natural language processing (NLP), as an alternative approach, could more accurately identify lens pathology.

Scleral thickness in simple versus complex central serous chorioretinopathy
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is characterized by subretinal fluid (SRF) leakage from the choroid.1,2 CSC primarily affects middle-aged men3 and often presents with decreased and distorted vision. Advancements in multimodal imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), have revealed various choroidal abnormalities, such as a thickened choroid,4 dilated outer choroidal vessels,5 asymmetrically dilated vortex veins,6 intervortex venous anastomoses,7 and congestion of choroidal outflow8 in CSC eyes.

Endogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis: A Single-Center Retrospective Study and Review of the Literature
Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (EFE) occurs through hematogenous spread and inoculation of an infectious agent into the choroid, accounting for 5-10% of all cases of endophthalmitis.1 –3 Risk factors for the development of endogenous endophthalmitis include urinary tract infection, recent genitourinary instrumentation, sepsis, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, malignancy, and intravenous drug use (IVDU).4 EFE caused by yeast (i.e., Candida, Cryptococcus) tends to be mo re indolent, while EFE caused by saprophytic molds, such as Aspergillus, is more aggressive and visually damaging.

Comment on: Non-Infectious Outcomes of Intravitreal Antibiotic –Steroid Injection and Topical NSAID Versus Triple Drop Therapy Post Cataract Surgery
I found the report of Mian et al regarding the comparison of injected vs topical postoperative anti-inflammatory treatments to be thought provoking.1 First and foremost, of all the treatments administered in this report, only the topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and topical corticosteroids are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) –approved products, each for reduction of postoperative inflammation. None of the products is approved for the prevention of cystoid macular edema. Furthermore, the corticosteroid and antibiotic injected intraocularly is an unapproved product.

AFG3L2 and ACO2-linked Dominant Optic Atrophy: genotype-phenotype characterization compared to OPA1 patients
Heterozygous mutations in AFG3L2 gene (encoding a mitochondrial protease indirectly reflecting on OPA1 cleavage) and ACO2 gene (encoding the mitochondrial enzyme aconitase) are associated to isolated forms of Dominant Optic Atrophy (DOA). We aimed at describing their neuro-ophthalmological phenotype as compared with classic OPA1-related DOA. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Long-Term Effect of Systemic Comorbidity on Glaucoma Medication Adherence
Adherence to glaucoma medication is vital for preserving visual function and preventing vision deterioration over time.1 Therefore, among patients with glaucoma, medication adherence is crucial for controlling intraocular pressure and preventing further vision loss. However, medication adherence has often been reported to be unsatisfactory among patients with glaucoma, with noncompliance rates ranging from 30% to 50%.2 Understanding the reasons for this high rate of noncompliance is crucial for developing effective policies and interventions to improve medication adherence.
