Purpose of review: To discuss recent studies of imaging modalities for ocular surface pathologies.
Recent findings: Novel micro-ocular coherence tomography technology can produce high-resolution images of corneal cellular and nervous structures. Ocular coherence tomography angiography can aid in detecting early stage limbal stem cell deficiency. Several studies used in vivo confocal microscopy to evaluate corneal nerve metrics and morphology.
Summary: The applications of anterior segment optical coherence tomography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and in vivo confocal microscopy are useful technologies for imaging the ocular surface. Several studies have used artificial intelligence in combination with imaging technologies to create reliable and effective systems to detect and visualize ocular surface pathologies. AS OCT continues to be a key imaging tool and future development of μOCT technology may further enhance its utility.

Purpose of review: To review and update the latest findings in diagnosis and management of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).
Recent findings: OSSN is the most common anterior segment neoplastic disease process. Several ocular surface imaging techniques have been developed for the early diagnosis and management of clinical and subclinical ocular surface squamous neoplasia, including high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT), in vivo confocal microscopy, and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Treatment modalities include both surgical and medical management, with a recent trend towards primary and adjunctive pharmacotherapy.
Summary: There is increasing use of HR-OCT for the diagnosis and monitoring of clinical and subclinical OSSN lesions. Topical pharmacotherapy agents, including interferon α-2b, 5-fluorouracil, and mitomycin C, have demonstrable efficacy in the treatment of OSSN and their use may be dictated based upon tumor factors, patient factors, cost, and side effect profile. Both surgical excision and adjunctive topical medications have excellent success, with the favored treatment method trending towards topical pharmacotherapy as primary therapy.

Purpose of review: In this article, we review the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on refractive surgery.
Recent findings: COVID-19 infection frequently causes eye symptoms, most commonly conjunctivitis or mild irritation. While virus can be detected in tears of symptomatic patients, the risk of transmission via this route appears low.
Summary: Refractive surgery consultations were significantly reduced during the pandemic; however, volume is rebounding quickly likely due to a number of lifestyle, health, and financial factors. Laser refractive and intraocular surgery likely confer a low risk of virus spread, especially in asymptomatic patients. Screening prior to the refractive consultation and surface disinfection in the clinic and operating room can help reduce transmission risk further.
