A Brief History of Lacrimal Bypass Techniques
CONCLUSION: Lacrimal bypass surgery has evolved due to innovation in microsurgical techniques, instruments and materials. Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy with Jones tube insertion is the predominant bypass technique, reflecting a culmination of historical developments. Understanding the variety of lacrimal bypass techniques is important for exploring alternative options when necessary.PMID:38654615 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2024.2345286 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Incidence of Pure Orbital Fractures with Concomitant Lacrimal Drainage System Injury in the Japanese Population: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: There is a 1.4% incidence rate of pure orbital fractures with concomitant lacrimal drainage system injuries among the Japanese population included in this study. Inferomedial orbital strut fractures and orbital floor fracture lateral to the infraorbital groove were found to have higher association with lacrimal drainage system injuries.PMID:38656194 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2024.2346762 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Punctal Atresia As a Clinical Indicator of Systemic Genetic Anomalies
CONCLUSIONS: A high incidence of systemic syndromes (43%) was observed in the study cohort. In individuals with PA who also exhibit extraocular disease, systemic evaluation and genetic workup should be considered. Syndromic diagnoses identified in our cohort also include: Branchio-oto-renal syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, 1q21.1 microdeletion syndrome, NF1, monosomy 4q and trisomy 6q, which represent novel associations. The lack of correlation between PA's phenotypic severity and systemic abnormalities highlights the need to obtain a comprehensive medical history and consider a systemic workup in PA patients.PMID:3864...

The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Glaucoma
Semin Ophthalmol. 2024 Apr 20:1-12. doi: 10.1080/08820538.2024.2343049. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and comprises a group of chronic optic neuropathies characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss. Various etiologies, including impaired blood supply to the optic nerve, have been implicated for glaucoma pathogenesis. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality for visualizing the ophthalmic microvasculature. Using blood flow as an intrinsic contrast agent, it distinguishes blood vessels from the surrounding ti...

Tear Film Dynamics in Visual Display Terminal Users: A Review of Impact on Goblet Cells, Lacrimal and Meibomian Gland Function
CONCLUSION: The alterations have been observed on aqueous, lipid and mucin components of the tear film, although the extent of the impact is variable across studies. There is urgent need of well-designed studies for studying the tear film changes and management options for the upcoming lifestyle epidemic in VDT users.PMID:38629642 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2024.2332355 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Intraocular Bioadhesives in Vitreoretinal Surgeries: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: The use of intraocular bioadhesives in vitreoretinal surgery represents a significant and evolving area of interest within ophthalmic research. While the pioneering use of cyanoacrylate glue, fibrin glue and transforming growth factor beta demonstrated the possible use of intraocular adhesives, fibrin glue is the most widely used intraocular bioadhesive in vitreoretinal surgery.PMID:38629866 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2024.2344017 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)
