目的比较两种 OCT 设备在新生血管性老年黄斑变性(nAMD)患者视网膜外层的可见性和可及性:在这项前瞻性、横断面探索性研究中,我们分析了下一代高分辨率 OCT 设备和传统 SPECTRALIS OCT(均为德国海德堡海德堡工程有限公司生产)在新生血管性老年性黄斑变性患者和年龄匹配的健康眼中视网膜外层厚度和各层损失的差异。经认可的深度学习算法(Fluid Monitor, RetInSight, Vienna, Austria)量化的 nAMD 眼球和至少 250 nL 的视网膜积液符合纳入标准。视网膜外层采用自动视网膜层分割法进行分割,并进行人工校正。使用线性混合效应模型和配对 t 检验比较两种设备的视网膜层损失和厚度:共纳入了 17 名活动性 nAMD 患者和 17 名健康患者的 19 只眼睛。对于 nAMD 眼睛,两种设备的视网膜色素上皮(RPE)厚度差异显著(高分辨率 OCT 和传统 OCT 分别为 25.42 μm [95% CI,14.24-36.61] 和 27.31 μm [95% CI,16.12-38.50];P = 0.033)。此外,平均相对外缘膜损耗也存在明显差异(p = 0.021)。然而,在中央 3 毫米的范围内,不同设备的感光体厚度、RPE 完整性损失和感光体完整性损失没有显著差异。在健康眼睛中,不同设备的 RPE 和光感受器厚度均有显著差异(p < 0.001):结论:与传统 OCT 图像相比,高分辨率 OCT 图像的中央 RPE 厚度明显较薄,这是因为 RPE 和布鲁氏膜的光学分离度较高。

Objective: Adults who undergo strabismus surgery, in addition to cosmesis, could benefit from improved stereopsis. This improvement is associated with the performance of motor skill tasks in young adults; they reduce the risk of tripping or falling during everyday locomotion and improve reading efficiency. This study aimed to assess stereopsis level after strabismus surgery in adults who underwent strabismus surgery for any reason.
Methods: Retrospective observational study of adult patients who underwent strabismus surgery at our institution between 2010 and 2022.
Results: One hundred and thirty-two patients were included. Postoperatively, 48% had a stereo acuity better than 100 seconds of arc, and only 21.5% had no stereopsis. The most significant factor influencing improved stereopsis after surgery was the angle of strabismus postoperatively (p = 0.018). There was a statistically significant correlation between fusion at a distance and the stereo acuity (p = 0.0337). There was no statistically significant correlation between the stereo acuity level and the strabismus angle of deviation, the strabismus direction (vertical, horizontal, or combined), or the type (esotropia or exotropia) before or after the surgery. Although not statistically significant (p = 0.6579), the underlying cause categories were correlated with the stereo level. Patients with neurological causes demonstrated higher levels of stereopsis, followed by TED, whereas patients with childhood strabismus have the lowest probability of regaining stereopsis after surgery.
Conclusions: Although long-standing strabismus reduces the potential for binocularity, surgery may be beneficial and improve stereopsis regardless of the cause of strabismus.

Objective: The eyelids are complex structures composed of various tissues. As such, a wide array of lesions exist that affect the eyelids. Clinical diagnosis of these lesions is essential to differentiate benign from malignant ones. Although accurate, some cases are misdiagnosed. Histopathology remains the crucial step in the final diagnosis of eyelid lesions. The objective of the study is to describe and compare the clinicopathological diagnosis of benign eyelid tumours between two tertiary care centers, one in South America and the other in North America, from 2010 to 2019.
Methods: We reviewed 1 935 tumours at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC)-McGill University Ocular Pathology and Translational Research Laboratory and 1 256 tumours collected at "Dr. Jose Antonio Avendaño Valdez" Ocular Pathology at the Instituto Nacional de Oftalmologia Peru (INO) (2010-2019). Demographic information and clinical and histopathological diagnoses were collected in an anonymized fashion.
Results: The average age was 61.04 years at MUHC and 47.44 years at INO, benign tumours accounted for 78.11 % and 79.84%, respectively. The three most frequent benign tumour were squamous cell papilloma, nevus, and seborrheic keratosis at both sites. Lesions most commonly affected the upper and lower eyelid. 2.32% at the MUHC and 1.35% at the INO of cases were clinically misdiagnosed as benign tumours but confirmed malignant by histopathology.
Conclusion: The most common lesions were squamous cell papilloma, nevus, and seborrheic keratosis, although the most common diagnosis varied, likely due to environmental factors differing at each site. Histopathology is essential for the accurate diagnosis of eyelid tumours.
