The purpose of this case series is to report the surgical outcomes from the combination of a clear lensectomy, OMNI® canaloplasty, and a HYDRUS® microstent with an adjacent goniotomy.This is a retrospective non-comparative single-center case series of four black patients of African descent with glaucoma who were treated with a clear lensectomy, OMNI canaloplasty, and a HYDRUS microstent with an adjacent goniotomy. The surgeries were performed by an experienced cataract and glaucoma surgeon, Daniel Laroche, MD. The parameters investigated in this study were postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and the mean number of preoperative and postoperative medications needed.The mean age of the four patients was 44.5 years. All patients had a mean postoperative reduction in IOP of 17 mmHg to 12.7 mmHg. The mean number of preoperative medications was 2.2, while the mean number of postoperative medications was 0.3. Potential complications such as hyphema, IOP spikes, or corneal edema were not seen in this series. All patients achieved a lower IOP and stable vision with less refractive error. Patients also experienced improved visual fields, clearer vision, and more open angles.Clear lensectomy and combined microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and narrow-angle glaucoma (NAG) results in the safe lowering of IOP. The limitations of this study include the small series size and the retrospective potential for bias. Further research with a larger series and a prospective trial with follow-up should be performed.

Human eye fixation is steadily interrupted by small, physiological or abnormal, eye movements. Square-wave jerks (SWJ) are the most common saccadic intrusion which can be readily seen at the bedside and also quantified using oculographic techniques. Various neurological, neuropsychiatric and psychiatric disorders display abnormal fixational eye movement patterns characterized by frequent SWJ. For the clinician, SWJ are particularly important because they can be readily observed at the bedside. Here, we will discuss the pathological conditions that present with SWJ and explore the expanding body of literature suggesting that SWJ may serve as a potential indicator for various clinical conditions.

To study the efficacy of orbital injections of triamcinolone acetonide mixed 1:1 with dexamethasone in the treatment of active thyroid eye disease.Patients that received orbital injection(s) of triamcinolone acetonide mixed 1:1 with dexamethasone for thyroid eye disease were included in this retrospective study. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the pre-treatment and 1 month follow up evaluations. Clinical data included subjective pain and diplopia scores, best-corrected visual acuity, Intraocular pressure, extraocular motility, clinical activity score, Hertel exophthalmometry, and upper eyelid margin to reflex distance.Fifteen patients, 33 orbital injections, were included in the study. The average patient age was 59.2 years (SD ± 13.0) and 89% female. Subjectively, 67% of patients reported improvement of orbital pain and pressure versus 28% stable and 5% worse (p <0.001). Post-procedure clinical activity score decreased from 3.84 to 3.00 (p = 0.0004). There were no significant differences in upper eyelid margin to reflex distance (4.1 ± 1.4 mm vs. 4.3 ± 2.6 mm, p = 0.45), Hertel exophthalmometry (21.7 ± 9.4 mm vs. 21.8 ± 7.6 mm, p = 0.56), or extraocular motility (21% improved vs. 72% stable and 7% worsening, p = 0.50). No steroid-responsive increases in intraocular pressure or injection-related complications were reported.Orbital steroid injections can successfully reduce symptoms of TED and may be a reliable tool in the treatment of TED as a relatively safe, fast-acting, efficacious treatment option, particularly as a bridge to other therapies.

Between 3-47% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), and between 1.3-86.9% of patients with IBD suffer from ocular EIMs (O-EIMs) making the eye the third most common organ affected. These O-EIMs exist among a spectrum, with a variety of types and amounts of inflammation which can lead to decreased vision, and in some cases, vision loss, without treatment. We performed a literature review concerning O-EIMs in patients who had or were later found to have a diagnosis of IBD in order to identify ocular EIMs that commonly occur with IBD and to assess which patients with IBD may be at higher risk of developing O-EIMs. We were also interested in ascertaining whether O-EIMs were more common in specific populations of people or in specific subtypes of IBD. Lastly, we explored the common treatments of O-EIMs in patients with IBD. Upon review of the literature, we found that the most common O-EIMs are episcleritis and uveitis. Anterior uveitis is more commonly seen, although, inflammation may occur in the posterior segment of the eye as well and may also manifest as retinal vasculitis. While these diagnoses are sometimes known retrospectively, most patients present with nonspecific eye complaints of which decreased vision with or without pain is the most common. Visual symptoms associated with ocular EIMs may be non-specific so physicians should have a low threshold to refer to ophthalmology for visual complaints. It is important to keep in mind that ocular EIMs can cluster with skin and joint EIMs. Screening should be prioritized for female patients with Crohn’s disease and concurrent arthritis. Treatments for O-EIMs are outlined and compared in this paper as well.

Cholesterol is an essential component of cellular membranes, crucial for maintaining their structural and functional integrity. It is especially important for nervous tissues, including the retina, which rely on high amounts of plasma membranes for the transmission of the nervous signal. While cholesterol is by far the most abundant sterol, the retina also contains cholesterol precursors and metabolites, especially oxysterols, which are bioactive molecules. Cholesterol lack or excess is deleterious and some oxysterols are known for their effect on neuron survival. Cholesterol homeostasis must therefore be maintained. Retinal glial cells, especially Müller cells, the principal glial cells of the vertebrate retina, provide mechanical, nutritional, and metabolic support for the neighboring neurons. Several pieces of evidence indicate that Müller cells are major actors of cholesterol homeostasis in the retina, as it is known for other glial cells in the brain. This process is based on a close cooperation with neurons, and sterols can be signaling molecules participating in glia-neuron interactions. While some implication of cholesterol in age-related macular degeneration is now recognized, based on epidemiological and laboratory data, evidence for its role in glaucoma is still scarce. The association between cholesterolemia and glaucoma is controversial, but experimental data suggest that sterols could take part in the pathological processes. It has been demonstrated that Müller glial cells are implicated in the development of glaucoma through an ambivalent reactive retinal gliosis process. The early steps contribute to maintaining retinal homeostasis and favor the survival of ganglion cells, which are targeted during glaucoma. If gliosis persists, dysregulation of the neuroprotective functions, cytotoxic effects of gliotic Müller cells and disruption of glia-neuron interactions lead to an acceleration of ganglion cell death. Sterols could play a role in the glial cell response to glaucomatous injury. This represents an understudied but attractive topic to better understand glaucoma and conceive novel preventive or curative strategies. The present review describes the current knowledge on i) sterol metabolism in retinal glial cells, ii) the potential role of cholesterol in glaucoma, and iii) the possible relationships between cholesterol and oxysterols, glial cells and glaucoma. Focus is put on glia-neuron interactions.

Iron dysregulation in conjunction with other disease processes may exacerbate retinal degeneration. We employed models of iron overload and iron chelation to explore the interactions between iron-catalyzed oxidation and photoreactive bisretinoid lipofuscin.The mice were injected intravitreally with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) or were treated using the iron chelator deferiprone (DFP) from birth to 2 months of age. Short-wavelength fundus autofluorescence (SW-AF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were acquired. The bisretinoid levels were quantified using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and in vivo through quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF). In histologic sections, the photoreceptor cell viability was assessed by measuring the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL).The levels of bisretinoids, all-trans-retinal dimers, and A2PE were significantly increased in the FAC-injected eyes of C57BL/6J mice. Seven days after FAC injection, hyperautofluorescent foci were visible in fundus autofluorescence (488 nm) images, and in SD-OCT scans, aberrant hyperreflectivity was present in the outer retina and ONL thinning was observed. In FAC-injected Abca4–/– mice with pronounced RPE bisretinoid lipofuscin accumulation, the hyperautofluorescent puncta were more abundant than in the wild-type mice, and the extent of ONL thinning was greater. Conversely, the intravitreal injection of FAC in Mertk–/– mice led to a more modest increase in A2PE after 2 days. In contrast to the effect of iron accumulation, chelation with DFP resulted in significantly increased levels of A2E and A2-GPE and qAF due to the reduced iron-catalyzed oxidation of bisretinoids. In Mertk–/– mice, the A2E level was significantly lower and the ONL area was smaller than in DFP-treated mice. DFP chelation did not impair the visual cycle in BALB/cJ mice.Iron accumulation was associated with progressive impairment in photoreceptor cells that was associated with the increased formation of a bisretinoid species known to form in photoreceptor outer segments as a precursor to A2E. Additionally, disease features such as the development of hyperautofluorescence puncta in fundus AF images, hyperreflectivity in the outer retina of SD-OCT scans, and ONL thinning were more pronounced when iron was delivered to Abca4–/– mice with a greater propensity for bisretinoid formation. Higher bisretinoid levels and enhanced qAF are indicative of lesser bisretinoid loss due to oxidation.
铁失调与其他疾病过程结合可能会加剧视网膜变性。我们利用铁过载和铁螯合模型来探索铁催化的氧化作用与光活性双视色素脂褐质之间的相互作用。小鼠从出生到2个月大期间,经玻璃体内注射枸橼酸铁铵(FAC)或使用铁螯合剂去铁酮(DFP)进行治疗。研究人员采集了短波长眼底自动荧光(SW-AF)和光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)扫描图像。使用超高效液相色谱法(UPLC)对双维甲酸水平进行量化,并通过定量眼底自动荧光(qAF)对体内双维甲酸水平进行量化。在组织学切片中,通过测量核外层(ONL)的厚度来评估感光细胞的存活率。在注射了 FAC 的 C57BL/6J 小鼠眼中,双视色素、全反式视网膜二聚体和 A2PE 的含量显著增加。注射 FAC 七天后,在眼底自动荧光(488 nm)图像中可见高自荧光灶,在 SD-OCT 扫描中,外层视网膜出现异常高反射,并观察到 ONL 变薄。在注射了 FAC 的 Abca4-/- 小鼠中,RPE 双脂质脂褐素蓄积明显,高自荧光点比野生型小鼠更多,ONL 变薄的程度也更大。相反,在 Mertk-/- 小鼠体内注射 FAC 2 天后,A2PE 的增加幅度较小。与铁蓄积的影响相反,用 DFP 螯合会导致 A2E、A2-GPE 和 qAF 水平显著增加,原因是减少了铁催化的双维甲酸氧化。与 DFP 处理的小鼠相比,Mertk-/- 小鼠的 A2E 水平明显降低,ONL 面积变小。铁的积累与光感受器细胞的渐进性损伤有关,而这种损伤与光感受器外节中作为 A2E 前体的一种已知的双类视黄醇的形成增加有关。此外,当向双视色素形成倾向更强的 Abca4-/- 小鼠输送铁时,疾病特征(如眼底 AF 图像中出现高荧光点、SD-OCT 扫描的外层视网膜出现高反射和 ONL 变薄)更加明显。较高的双视黄醇水平和增强的qAF表明氧化导致的双视黄醇损失较少。

Antiretroviral therapy has decreased the prevalence of retinal opportunistic infections in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, abnormalities in visual function are evident and may be associated with an early onset of aging in PLWH. In this study, we examined the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) thickness and visual function in PLWH and HIV non-infected controls in Malaysia.Cross-sectional studyTwo hundred and two (202) PLWH without retinal opportunistic infection and 182 age-matched, HIV seronegative individuals were enrolled. PLWH were recruited from the Infectious Disease clinic at the University Malaya Medical Centre. Controls were recruited among the hospital staff and community volunteers. RNFL thickness was measured with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT). Visual functions include visual acuity using LogMAR chart and contrast sensitivity using Pelli- Robson Chart.All PLWH (mean age 46.1 years ± 9.9 years) in the study were on ART and 61.2% had a CD4+ T-cell count more than 500 cell/μl. The mean visual acuity was similar between the two groups (LogMAR 0.05 vs. 0.07, p = 0.115). Contrast sensitivity was lower in PLWH compared to HIV seronegative individuals (1.90 vs 1.93, p = 0.032). RNFL thickness was significantly thinner in the temporal quadrant for PLWH compared to controls (68.89 μm vs 74.08 μm, p = 0.001).Changes in RNFL thickness and contrast sensitivity were seen in PLWH despite their relatively young age and well controlled HIV disease. The changes reflect structural and functional deficits, and could have long-term implications on their health trajectory.
抗逆转录病毒疗法降低了艾滋病毒感染者(PLWH)视网膜机会性感染的发病率。然而,艾滋病病毒感染者的视觉功能明显出现异常,这可能与艾滋病病毒感染者的早衰有关。在这项研究中,我们检测了马来西亚艾滋病毒感染者和未感染艾滋病毒的对照者的视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度和视觉功能。感染者是从马来亚大学医疗中心的传染病诊所招募的。对照组从医院员工和社区志愿者中招募。使用光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SDOCT)测量 RNFL 厚度。研究中的所有 PLWH(平均年龄 46.1 岁 ± 9.9 岁)都接受了抗逆转录病毒疗法,61.2% 的 CD4+ T 细胞计数超过 500 cells/μl。两组患者的平均视力相似(LogMAR 0.05 vs. 0.07,p = 0.115)。与 HIV 血清阴性者相比,PLWH 的对比敏感度较低(1.90 vs 1.93,p = 0.032)。与对照组相比,PLWH 患者颞象限的 RNFL 厚度明显变薄(68.89 μm vs 74.08 μm,p = 0.001)。这些变化反映了结构性和功能性缺陷,可能会对他们的健康轨迹产生长期影响。

The purpose of the study was to present a rare case of pediatric bilateral optic neuropathy and retinopathy, which was consistent with a diagnosis of autoimmune retinopathy. We also reviewed the most current literature and phenotypes associated with reported pediatric cases of autoimmune retinopathy.The design of the study was a case report, with a retrospective case series literature review.This study incorporated data from six subjects, with one presenting as an original case report and five being identified from the English-language literature published to date.The materials and methods involved a descriptive analysis of fundus findings, electrophysiologic testing, serum autoantibody testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), brain MRI scanning, and fluorescein angiography, which were performed where available.The study evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes of all subjects and followed their visual function over time.All six subjects had retinal abnormalities that were documented on imaging, while five out of the six subjects had optic nerve abnormalities. Electrophysiologic testing was performed on three subjects, all of whom recorded abnormal results. An underlying neoplastic disorder was described for four subjects. Serum autoantibody testing results were available for four subjects. The serum testing included using antibodies against a 22-kDa antigen, a 35-kDa optic nerve-derived antigen, a 62-kDa antigen, enolase, recoverin, tubulin, and pyruvate kinase M2. Our subject presented 12 years after resection of a ganglioglioma with asymmetric bilateral vision loss, disc edema in one eye, advanced disc pallor in the fellow eye, and bilateral subtle retinal infiltrates, despite having a normal fluorescein angiogram. OCT demonstrated asymmetric ganglion cell layer thinning, which is consistent with the vision loss. Our subject also had abnormal brain MRI findings of widespread pachymeningeal enhancement, but he had a normal cerebrospinal fluid composition. He was initially treated with high-dose pulse steroids, followed by intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. He experienced partial visual recovery in both eyes.Pediatric autoimmune retinopathy and optic neuropathy are rare diseases that can present with unique signs and symptoms. In pediatric patients who present with symptoms of subacute progressive vision loss with negative inflammatory workups, a history of prior neoplasm, and/or clinical findings of progressive retinopathy or optic neuropathy, an autoimmune process should be considered in the differential.

To assess the risk for uveitis, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) associated with the use of pupil expansion devices in cataract surgery.A retrospective comparative cohort study.Patients who underwent routine cataract surgery with and without pupil expansion devices at the Department of Ophthalmology, Bristol Eye Hospital, UK, between January 2008 and December 2017.This study included 39,460 eyes operated without a pupil expansion device and 699 eyes operated with the device. Odds ratios for uveitis and PCME when using a pupil expansion device were calculated using univariate and multivariate regression analysis, having age, gender, diabetes, pseudoexfoliation, and pupil expansion device as independent variables. Multivariate Cox regression controlling for age and gender was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for Nd : YAG laser capsulotomies.Postoperative uveitis and PCME were reported in 3.9% and 2.7% of the eyes operated with a pupil expansion device compared to 2.3% and 1.3% operated without the device (p=0.005 and p=0.002, respectively). In univariate regression analysis, eyes with pupil expansion devices showed a higher risk of postoperative uveitis or PMCE after cataract surgery (OR 1.88, 95%CI 1.39-2.55, p<0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, the risk for PMCE was greater among diabetic patients and in eyes with a pupil expansion device than in those without (OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.24-1.83, P<0.001; OR 1.90, 95%CI 1.16-3.11, P=0.01). In Cox regression analysis adjusted for the patient’s age and gender, the use of a pupil expansion device was associated with higher Nd : YAG laser capsulotomy rates (HR 1.316, 95%CI 1.011-1.714, P=0.041).In our large cohort study, the use of pupil expansion devices in cataract surgery was associated with an increased risk of major postoperative complications. Effective anti-inflammatory treatment and follow-up are warranted in eyes operated with a pupil expansion device.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with a heterogenous array of manifestations that may unfavorably impact vision and quality of life. As understanding of this entity’s complex pathogenesis has evolved, so have therapies with novel molecular targets offering promise for improved patient outcomes.Emerging immunologic therapies for the management of thyroid eye disease have diverse mechanisms of actions and routes of administration. Different conventional and biological immunosuppressive agents have been studied as mediators of the autoimmune and autoinflammatory pathways in thyroid eye disease. Teprotumumab – an anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibody that has recently emerged as a first-line therapy for active, moderate-to-severe TED – has demonstrated statistically significant improvements in proptosis, diplopia, clinical activity score, and quality of life compared to placebo. Currently under investigation are several other agents, with varying administration modalities, that aim to inhibit IGF-1R: VRDN-001 (intravenous), VRDN-002 or VRDN-003 (subcutaneous), lonigutamab (subcutaneous), and linsitinib (oral). Tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody of interleukin 6, has played a role in the management of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and may offer promise in TED. Another incipient biologic target for TED management is the neonatal Fc receptor, inhibition of which has potential to decrease recycling of immunoglobulin and antibody levels; agents addressing this target including monoclonal antibodies as well as antibody fragments. Finally, hypolipidemic agents may play a role as mediators of TED-associated inflammation.Among the agents under investigation that aim to decrease ocular morbidity associated with TED are agents that IGF-1R, interleukin 6, and the neonatal Fc receptor. The management of TED continues to expand with novel immunologic approaches for disease therapy.
甲状腺眼病(TED)是一种免疫介导的疾病,具有一系列不同的表现,可能对视力和生活质量产生不利影响。随着人们对这种疾病复杂发病机理认识的不断深入,具有新分子靶点的疗法也在不断发展,为改善患者预后带来了希望。作为甲状腺眼病自身免疫和自身炎症途径的介质,不同的传统和生物免疫抑制剂已被研究。特普鲁单抗是一种抗IGF-1R单克隆抗体,最近已成为活动性中重度TED的一线疗法,与安慰剂相比,该药在突眼、复视、临床活动评分和生活质量方面均有统计学意义的显著改善。目前正在研究的其他几种旨在抑制 IGF-1R 的药物具有不同的给药方式:VRDN-001(静脉注射)、VRDN-002 或 VRDN-003(皮下注射)、lonigutamab(皮下注射)和 linsitinib(口服)。Tocilizumab是一种白细胞介素6单克隆抗体,在治疗多种自身免疫性和炎症性疾病中发挥了作用,可能有望用于治疗TED。治疗 TED 的另一个新生物靶点是新生儿 Fc 受体,抑制该受体有可能降低免疫球蛋白的循环和抗体水平;针对这一靶点的药物包括单克隆抗体和抗体片段。最后,降血脂药物可能是 TED 相关炎症的介质。目前正在研究的旨在降低 TED 相关眼部发病率的药物包括 IGF-1R、白细胞介素 6 和新生儿 Fc 受体。随着新型免疫学方法的出现,TED 的治疗范围也在不断扩大。
