The Future of Imaging in Detecting Glaucoma Progression
Ocular imaging has been heavily incorporated into glaucoma management and provides important information that aids in the detection of disease progression. Longitudinal studies have shown that the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer is an important parameter for glaucoma progression detection, whereas other studies have demonstrated that macular parameters, such as the ganglion cell inner plexiform layer and optic nerve head parameters, also are useful for progression detection. The introduction of novel technologies with faster scan speeds, wider scanning fields, higher resolution, and improved tissue penetration ha...

The Challenge of Detecting Glaucoma Progression
Determining whether a patient's glaucoma is stable or if the disease is worsening is one of the most frequent analyses ophthalmologists perform in clinical practice. Arriving at the correct answer to this question is critically important because a failure to lower the intraocular pressure when the disease is worsening can result in avoidable adverse consequences for the patient's vision-related quality of life. Conversely, an incorrect determination that progression has occurred can lead to unnecessary intensification of treatment. (Source: Ophthalmology)

Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Endoresection of Refractory Intraocular Retinoblastoma
Unplanned intraocular surgery in eyes with active retinoblastoma carries a risk of extraocular extension and metastases. Planned intravitreal chemotherapy (IVitC) has significantly revolutionized the treatment of the most intractable feature of recurrent retinoblastoma, vitreous seeds,1 without evidence of extraocular spread of tumor.2 One child with recurrent refractory vitreous seeding was treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with good vision and no active tumor at 26 months of follow-up.3 (Source: Ophthalmology)

Thigh Cuffs as a Countermeasure for Ocular Changes in Simulated Weightlessness
Astronauts exposed to prolonged weightlessness experience hyperopic shifts and structural alterations in the eye (e.g., choroidal folds and optic disc edema),1 a condition referred to as spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). Loss of the hydrostatic pressure gradient during spaceflight reduces venous volume in the lower extremities, leading to a headward fluid shift. This headward fluid shift resulting from the weightlessness environment of spaceflight has been hypothesized to be the initiating factor for ocular-related changes that develop in astronauts during long-duration spaceflight.

Clinical Course of Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis in 50 Immunocompromised Patients with Cancer
Infections of the orbital and periorbital soft tissue can be of bacterial or fungal cause and can be categorized as preseptal cellulitis or orbital (postseptal) cellulitis. We conducted this retrospective study to examine the clinical features and prognosis in patients with cancer with preseptal and orbital cellulitis at a comprehensive cancer center. An August 2017 literature search identified no previous publications on orbital cellulitis in patients with cancer, underscoring the importance of the current report. (Source: Ophthalmology)
