Article Synopsis
  • * The average age of patients at diagnosis was around 37 years, with most tumors being secondary rather than primary, and they were primarily located in the inferior and inferotemporal quadrants of the retina.
  • * Treatment options such as cryotherapy and laser photocoagulation led to tumor regression in 18 out of the 19 eyes after a follow-up period of about 25 months, indicating these methods are generally effective but may require multiple sessions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to distinguish between scar features in two types (type 1 and type 2) of macular neovascularization (MNV) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
  • Medical records of 20 patients over 50 years old were analyzed, focusing on various OCT measurements, including outer retinal tubulations and retinal thickness, to compare the two MNV types.
  • Results showed that type 2 MNV had thinner choroid and distinct features on OCT compared to type 1 MNV, which could aid ophthalmologists in making better treatment decisions for patients.

Objective: To evaluate the appropriateness of responses generated by an online chat-based artificial intelligence (AI) model for diabetic retinopathy (DR) related questions.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A set of 20 questions framed from the patient's perspective addressing DR-related queries, such as the definition of disease, symptoms, prevention methods, treatment options, diagnostic methods, visual impact, and complications, were formulated for input into ChatGPT-4.

Purpose: To analyze the efficacy of a deep learning (DL)-based artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm in detecting the presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and glaucoma suspect as compared to the diagnosis by specialists secondarily to explore whether the use of this algorithm can reduce the cross-referral in three clinical settings: a diabetologist clinic, retina clinic, and glaucoma clinic.

Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Patients between 35 and 65 years of age were recruited from glaucoma and retina clinics at a tertiary eye care hospital and a physician's clinic.

Background: To analyse the distribution of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) biomarkers in different types of vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) associated visual impairment in diabetic macular oedema.

Methods: A total of 317 eyes of 202 patients were enrolled. Cases were divided into two groups focal VMA and broad VMA and subjects with no VMA were enrolled as controls.
