To investigate the prevalence, features, associated factors, and reproducibility of segmentation errors in macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness measurement as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Paraneoplastic syndromes constitute symptoms from organs distant from a malignant neoplasm present in the body, and are in many cases mediated by immune cross-reactivity between the neoplasm and normal host tissue. Cancer-associated retinopathies (CAR) are rare retinal disorders associated with autoantibodies directed to various retinal antigens. The immune response initially arises to suppress a tumor growth, ultimately resulting in rapid, bilateral, and painless loss of vision.1 If a subsequent clinical investigation reveals an underlying malignancy, the retinal damage is categorized as a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the genetic associations of primary angle-closure disease (PACD).
To collect comprehensive data on choroidal and ciliary body melanoma (CCBM) in children and to validate hypotheses regarding pediatric CCBM: children younger than 18 years, males, and those without ciliary body involvement (CBI) have more favorable survival prognosis than young adults 18 to 24 years of age, females, and those with CBI.
One goal of the study was to identify “new” statistically independent risk factors for treatment-demanding retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Another goal was to evaluate whether any new risk factors could explain the increase in the incidence of treatment-demanding ROP over time in Denmark.
To assess whether stereopsis outcomes of patients with accommodative esotropia with high accommodative convergence/accommodation relationship (AC/A) were improved after treatment with bifocal glasses compared with single-vision lenses.
