Survey of Ophthalmology Training Experiences Among Young Ophthalmologists in the Asia-Pacific
Purpose: To describe ophthalmology training experiences across the Asia-Pacific (APAC). Design: Survey study. Methods: We utilized an anonymous online survey, which was previously validated and conducted in Europe, through Young Ophthalmologist leaders from the national member societies of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) from September 2019 to July 2021. Responses were based on a 5-point Likert scale (where applicable) and data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Our main outcome measures were differences between regions, that is, Southeast Asia (SEA) and Western Pacific (WP); and senior...

Vision Screening in Children: The New South Wales Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening Program
Purpose: The aim was to investigate universality of access, screening rate, and outcomes from the New South Wales (NSW) Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening (StEPS) over the period of 2009 to 2016. Design: Cross-sectional, observational study. Methods: The StEPS program provides vision screening to 4-year-old children residing in NSW and is administered within Local Health Districts (LHDs). Visual acuity (VA) was examined by trained lay and nurse screeners using HOTV logMAR. Children who had VA (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology)

Radiological Determinants of Complicated Immunoglobulin G4–Related Ophthalmic Disease: A Territory-Wide Cohort Study
Purpose: To evaluate the presenting radiological features of immunoglobulin G4–related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) and their associations with IgG4-related optic neuropathy (IgG4-RON), and IgG4-related ocular adnexal lymphoma (IgG4-ROL). Methods: A territory-wide, biopsy-proven, Chinese cohort. Masked review of orbital images, medical records, and histopathology reports. Results: A total of 115 (94%) of the 122 patients in our cohort had preoperative orbital images (computed tomography=105, magnetic resonance imaging=40). Among them, 103/115 (90%) showed enlarged lacrimal glands, and 91 (88%) were bil...

Optical Coherence Tomography Features for Identifying Posttreatment Complete Polypoidal Regression in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy
Purpose: To determine accuracy and relative risk (RR) of posttreatment optical coherence tomography (OCT) features in identifying complete or incomplete polypoidal regression in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Design: Validity analysis. Methods: Treatment-naive PCV eyes undergoing OCT and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) at baseline and posttreatment were included. Two graders confirmed diagnosis and identified posttreatment complete or incomplete regression on ICGA. Two other graders classified OCT characteristics of pigment epithelial detachment (PED) (polypoidal lesion) based on 5 prespeci...

Digital Advancements in Retinal Models of Care in the Post–COVID-19 Lockdown Era
The coronavirus disease–2019 (COVID-19) pandemic introduced unique barriers to retinal care including limited access to imaging modalities, ophthalmic clinicians, and direct medical interventions. These unprecedented barriers were met with the robust implementation of digital advances to aid in monitoring and efficiency of retinal care while taking into the account of public safety. Many of these innovations have been successful in maintaining efficiency and patient satisfaction and are likely to stay to help preserve vision in the future. In this article we highlight these advances implemented during the pandemic includ...

Emerging Gene Manipulation Strategies for the Treatment of Monogenic Eye Disease
Genetic eye diseases, representing a wide spectrum of simple and complex conditions, are one of the leading causes of visual loss in children and working adults, and progress in the field has led to changes in disease investigation, diagnosis, and management. The past 15 years have seen the emergence of novel therapies for these previously untreatable conditions to the extent that we now have a licensed therapy for one form of genetic eye disease and many more in clinical trial. This is a systematic review of published and ongoing clinical trials of gene therapies for monogenic eye diseases. Databases of clinical trials an...

Pathogenesis and Treatment of Usher Syndrome Type IIA
Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common form of deaf-blindness, with an estimated prevalence of 4.4 to 16.6 per 100,000 people worldwide. The most common form of USH is type IIA (USH2A), which is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the USH2A gene and accounts for around half of all USH cases. USH2A patients show moderate to severe hearing loss from birth, with diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa in the second decade of life and variable vestibular involvement. Although hearing aids or cochlear implants can provide some mitigation of hearing deficits, there are currently no treatments aimed at preventin...
