<div><h3>Purpose</h3><div>To evaluate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for full thickness macular holes (FTMH) in ocular Behçet's disease.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Eyes with FTMH as confirmed on optical coherence tomography in patients with active ocular Behçet's disease (AOBD) were included in this study. These eyes underwent PPV, epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel, and a tamponade injection. Postoperative visual improvement and macular hole closure at 6<!--> <!-->months was recorded.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Fifteen FTMHs in 14 patients with AOBD were included, with a mean age of 29.3<!--> <!-->years (25–38), and 13 were males. All patients presented best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.05 decimals or worse; mean 0.04<!--> <!-->±<!--> <!-->0.01 (0.02–0.05). All eyes underwent PPV, 11 eyes needed phacoemulsification, and the ILM was not peeled in one eye. Three eyes had total retinal detachment (RD) and needed silicone oil as a tamponade; the rest received SF6. Macular hole closure was achieved in 14 eyes with a single procedure, and the failed eye was the one with no peeling of the ILM. In the 14 eyes with successful outcomes, a thick ERM and ILM were noted and removed. All patients were followed for at least six months; mean 13<!--> <!-->months (6–48). The mean BCVA improved to 0.15<!--> <!-->±<!--> <!-->0.02 decimals (0.1–0.4) in the first 3<!--> <!-->months in eyes with successful closure.

Notre société connaît actuellement et depuis quelques années un vieillissement de sa population. En parallèle, nous pouvons observer une augmentation des résidents en EHPAD. Le contexte d’épidémie mondiale et des restrictions sanitaires mis en place pour y faire face a mis en évidence la fragilité des personnes âgées et la nécessité d’effectuer des consultations à distance pour permettre une continuité des soins. De décembre 2020 à juillet 2022, un bilan ophtalmologique avec le protocole RNM a été proposé aux résidents de 11 EHPAD situés dans la Manche et le Calvados. Deux cent vingt-deux patients d’âge moyen de 83 ans ont bénéficié d’une consultation. À la suite de notre intervention, l’acuité visuelle moyenne logMar a été améliorée de façon statistiquement significative de 0,76 à 0,61 (p < 0,0001) en vision de loin. Une pathologie ophtalmologique a été mis en évidence chez 143 patients (64 %). Ce projet a offert à une population isolée et dépendante, qui ne pouvait accéder aux consultations médicales traditionnelles en cabinet, la possibilité de rétablir un accès complet au suivi médical. La détection précoce des problèmes de vision chez les personnes âgées peut aider à prévenir des complications potentiellement graves et à améliorer la qualité de vie globale de cette population. La téléconsultation se présente comme une alternative valable à la consultation traditionnelle, particulièrement chez les patients fortement dépendants et institutionnalisés.
For several years, our society has been experiencing an aging of the population. Concurrently, there has been an observable increase in the population of nursing homes (EHPAD). The context of a global epidemic and the public health measures implemented to address it have underscored the vulnerability of our elderly population and the need for remote consultations to ensure continuity of care. From December 2020 to July 2022, an ophthalmological assessment with the RNM protocol was offered to residents of 11 EHPADs located in Manche and Calvados. Two hundred twenty-two patients, with a mean age of 83, underwent an eye examination. Following our intervention, the average logMar visual acuity was statistically significantly improved from 0.76 to 0.61 (P < 0.0001) for distance vision. Ophthalmological pathology was identified in 143 patients (64%). This project provided an isolated, dependent population, unable to access traditional in-person physician visits, the opportunity to fully restore access to medical follow-up. Early detection of vision problems in the elderly can help prevent potentially serious complications and improve the overall quality of life for these individuals. Telemedicine proves to be a valid alternative to traditional in-person visits, particularly for heavily dependent and institutionalized patients.

<div><h3>Purpose</h3><div>To study retinal layers on OCT in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and look for correlations with clinical and electrophysiological characteristics.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We conducted a cross-sectional study including MS patients aged between 18 and 60 years and a reference group of healthy, age- and gender-matched, control participants. A neurological examination with assessment of disability by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), an ophthalmological examination, a spectral-domain OCT, and visual evoked potentials (VEP) were performed.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Fifty-one patients with MS and 30 control subjects were included in the study. The mean age of our patients was 38 years, and the sex ratio (male/female) was 0.49.

All mean thicknesses of the various retinal layers were reduced compared to those of control eyes, but the difference was statistically significant only for the inner plexiform layer (IPL), the inner nuclear layer (INL) and the outer plexiform layer (OPL).
