Cataract is a common cause of avoidable blindness in children globally. Gender differences in service access among children are reported for several conditions, but not for surgery for bilateral cataract. In this review we compared the proportion of children undergoing surgery for bilateral, nontraumatic cataract who were girls, using data from high-income, gender-neutral countries as the reference.
To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) features of peripheral retinal findings using an ultra-widefield (UWF) steering technique to image the retinal periphery.
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) recently was reclassified to reflect the underlying cause as a complement-mediated and immune complex-mediated disease. This classification is based on renal biopsy immunofluorescence examination, making the former electron-microscopy classification obsolete. In this report, we describe related eye findings in patients with MPGN based on the new classification.
To investigate whether progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning is predictive of progressive visual field (VF) loss in glaucoma.
To investigate if previous intravitreal therapy is a predictor of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) during cataract surgery.
To compare study and fellow eyes in subjects with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for 7-year outcomes arising from contrasting treatment histories and disease statuses.
