Long-term variability of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness measurement in patients with glaucoma of African and European descents
CONCLUSIONS: Although some predictors were identified, long-term RNFLT variability appeared small for both AD and ED eyes. Moreover, the racial difference did not remain once intervening CE, the strongest predictor of variability, was eliminated. Our findings inform on strategies to optimise structural assessment and suggest that, when accounting for relevant factors, RNFLT is reliable across races.PMID:38164556 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-324404 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Long-term effect of orthokeratology on choroidal thickness and choroidal contour in myopic children
CONCLUSIONS: In the current 2-year prospective study, ortho-k can improve the choroidal thickness and maintain the choroidal contour, but this effect diminished in a long term. Further study with larger sample size and longer follow-up is warranted to refine this issue.PMID:38164558 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-323764 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Review of emerging trends and projection of future developments in large language models research in ophthalmology
Br J Ophthalmol. 2023 Dec 11:bjo-2023-324734. doi: 10.1136/bjo-2023-324734. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) are fast emerging as potent tools in healthcare, including ophthalmology. This systematic review offers a twofold contribution: it summarises current trends in ophthalmology-related LLM research and projects future directions for this burgeoning field.METHODS: We systematically searched across various databases (PubMed, Europe PMC, Scopus and Web of Science) for articles related to LLM use in ophthalmology, published between 1 January 2022 and 31 July 2023. Selected articles wer...

Detailed measurements of the four extraocular rectus muscles' contribution to the perfusion of the anterior segment of the eye
CONCLUSION: LSCI is a valuable perfusion monitoring tool, as it has the capability to visualise the gradual decrease in anterior segment perfusion as the rectus muscles are successively detached. Further studies are needed to determine how many rectus muscles can be safely detached during strabismus surgery without risking ASI.PMID:38164569 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-324468 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Measurement of visual function in infantile nystagmus: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Several factors affecting visual performance should be considered when assessing visual function in IN. While maximum VA is a useful metric, its measurement deliberately minimises nystagmus-specific factors such as changes in visual performance with gaze angle and the 'slow to see' phenomenon. Maximum VA can be measured using the null zone, providing unlimited viewing time, reducing stress/mental load and minimising visual crowding. Gaze-dependent functional vision space is a promising measure which quantifies the impact of the null zone but does not consider temporal vision. Although no complete measurement te...

Association of foveal avascular zone change and glaucoma progression
CONCLUSIONS: Significant FAZ increase was weakly associated with moderately faster rates of both GCC thinning and VF MD loss, but not macular vessel density change in glaucoma eyes. Additional studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological associations between macula GCC thinning and FAZ area increases in glaucoma.PMID:38164585 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-323970 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

European Glaucoma Society - A guide on surgical innovation for glaucoma
Br J Ophthalmol. 2023 Dec 21;107(Suppl 1):1-114. doi: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2023-egsguidelines.ABSTRACTPROLOGUE: Glaucoma surgery has been, for many decades now, dominated by the universal gold standard which is trabeculectomy augmented with antimetabolites. Tubes also came into the scene to complement what we use to call conventional or traditional glaucoma surgery. More recently we experienced a changing glaucoma surgery environment with the "advent" of what we have become used to calling Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). What is the unmet need, what is the gap that these newcomers aim to fill? Hippocrates taugh...
