Nontraumatic orbital hematoma secondary to labor and childbirth: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionsNon-traumatic orbital hematomas associated with maternal labor are rare and likely related to increased valsalva during delivery and heightened blood volume in pregnancy. Neuro-imaging and systemic workup are recommended to assess for vascular anomalies or underlying coagulopathies. The overall prognosis is favorable with most having full recovery.

Outcomes of iStent inject combined with cataract surgery in Asian eyes: Australian data from the Fight Glaucoma Blindness international registry
ConclusioniStentinject implantation combined with phacoemulsification in Asian eyes showed a reduction of IOP and glaucoma medication use in a real-world clinical setting. The safety profile of the device is good with minimal adverse outcomes, however, a subset of patients required secondary procedures within the 12 month follow up.

Couching of cataractous lens in microphthalmic eyes with irido-fundal coloboma: revisiting the historical technique
ConclusionCouching of cataractous lens is an effective and safe method in microphthalmic eyes with irido-fundal coloboma as last resort procedure, where no other surgical procedure may work. It provides an ambulatory gain of visual acuity in previously non-ambulatory subjects. Corneal measurements help in determining the subset of patients where couching offers viable option.

Assessing acute nicotine impact on choroidal thickness: a randomized, double-blinded study comparing smoking cessation aids, including nicotine gum and electronic cigarettes
ConclusionThe results of this study revealed that nicotine, up to particular concentration of 4 mg, does not have a statistically significant vasoconstrictive effect on choroidal thickness, regardless of the delivery method, within the examined group. These findings offer valuable insights into the relationship between nicotine intake and choroidal dynamics in young adults. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

An analysis of the factors involved in IOL decentration after phacoemulsification using CASIA 2 anterior segment optical coherence tomography
ConclusionGreater crystalline lens diameter was associated with greater decentration and with greater ITS. Day-one IOL decentration seems to be the main determinant of final IOL decentration. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

A new intelligent system based deep learning to detect DME and AMD in OCT images
This study introduces a novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, aiming to identify and classify OCT retinal images into AMD, DME, and Normal classes. Leveraging CNN efficiency, including feature learning and classification, various CNN, including pre-trained VGG16, VGG19, Inception_V3, a custom from scratch model, BCNN (VGG16)\(^{2}\), BCNN (VGG19)\(^{2}\), and BCNN (Inception_V3)\(^{2}\), are developed for the classification of AMD, DME, and Normal OCT images. The proposed approach has been evaluated on two datasets, including a DUKE public dataset and a Tunisian pr...

Migraine headache and other risk factors associated with glaucoma among the adult population living in Armenia: a case –control study
ConclusionTimely case detection of glaucoma among those with average/low socio-economic status and those with family history of glaucoma could prevent further progression of the disease. Further studies to explore the relationship between migraine headache and specific types of glaucoma may be worthwhile. (Source: International Ophthalmology)
