To report clinical features and treatment outcomes of ocular juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG).
We compared smartphone fundus photography, nonmydriatic fundus photography, and 7-field mydriatic fundus photography for their abilities to detect and grade diabetic retinopathy (DR).
To assess the effects of 360-degree laser retinopexy on human corneal subbasal nerve plexus and to investigate correlations among corneal subbasal nerve plexus density, corneal epithelial thickness, and corneal sensitivity.
To investigate the effect of the severity of corneal guttae on quality of vision (QOV) in patients with mild Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
Since the landmark study by Spaide et al1 described the enhanced depth imaging mode of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography to visualize the choroid, choroidal thickness has been examined intensively in recent investigations. None of the preceding studies examined whether neurologic diseases were associated with an abnormal choroidal thickness, although the choroidal blood vessels predominantly influencing choroidal thickness can be regarded as an extracranial part of the intracranial cerebral vascular system.
The ophthalmic examination of infants and children is often challenging owing to reduced cooperation; however, it is indispensable to make reliable diagnoses and prevent amblyopia and loss of vision. In this context, examination under general anesthesia is often required.
