Evaluation of medical student performance and satisfaction of simulator-based direct ophthalmoscopy training using a new refractive adjustment fundoscopic examination simulator-ICEyeModel: a comparative randomised crossover study.

Background: The use of simulators for ophthalmology training is growing globally. However, all developed simulators have certain limits based on different circumstances. The study aims to evaluate training performance and student satisfaction of the new refractive adjustment simulator "ICEyeModel" compared with a traditional simulator for direct ophthalmoscopy training among medical students.

Comparison of Swept-Source Anterior Segment Ocular Coherence Tomography and Gonioscopy in Detecting Anterior Chamber Angle Closure.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) with gonioscopy in detecting angle closure among narrow-angle suspected eyes.

Patients And Methods: A total of 125 eyes determined narrow anterior chamber angles suspected by Van Herick's technique grade 0, 1, or 2 were recruited. AS-OCT was undergone before any contact procedure.

Ocular Duction Measurement Using Three Convolutional Neural Network Models: A Comparative Study.

Objective: This study primarily aimed to compare the accuracy of three convolutional neural network (CNN) models in measuring the four positions of ocular duction. Further, it secondarily aimed to compare the accuracy of each CNN model in the training dataset versus the ophthalmologist measurements.

Methods: This study included 526 subjects aged over 18 who visited the ophthalmology outpatient department.

Intraocular pressure measurement using ICare rebound tonometer in different positions of eye and different locations on cornea.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most crucial aspects for diagnosis and treatment plan among patients with glaucoma. Although the gold standard for IOP measurement is Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT)[1], it must be mounted to a slit lamp biomicroscope. However, rebound tonometer has become popular due to its ease of operation and portable design, does not require topical anesthesia, and results do not differ significantly from those of GAT[2].

Characteristics, Etiology, and Clinical Outcome of Retinal Vasculitis in Tertiary Hospital in Thailand.

Objective: To analyze characteristics, etiology, and outcome of retinal vasculitis in Central Thailand.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study.

Results: Retinal vasculitis was found in 10% of uveitis, 74 from 741 uveitis, noninfectious (64.

Rare manifestation of ocular immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome from infection in a patient with AIDS.

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a common complication following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The most commonly associated pathogens include Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Cryptococcus spp. IRIS following nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) infection is uncommon, particularly, IRIS following NTM conjunctivitis.

Fluorescein angiographic findings and Behcet's disease ocular attack score 24 (BOS24) as prognostic factors for visual outcome in patients with ocular Behcet's disease.

Purpose: To determine the application of fluorescein angiographic (FA) findings and Behcet's disease ocular attack score 24 (BOS24) scoring system in predicting poor visual outcome in patients with ocular Behcet's disease.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: We included 73 eyes of 38 patients with ocular Behcet's disease who underwent FA and reviewed FA images, anterior chamber cells, vitreous opacity, retinal and optic disc lesions, which are parameters in BOS24.

Combined central retinal vein, central retinal artery and cilioretinal artery occlusion with ischemic macular hole secondary to severe orbital cellulitis after black fly bite.

Orbital cellulitis is an infection of the ocular adnexal and orbital tissues behind the orbital septum. The complications are poor prognosis. This paper is to describe some severe rare complications of orbital cellulitis.

Herpesviridae prevalence in aqueous humor using PCR.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Herpesviridae family in aqueous humor and the prevalence of antibodies against Herpesviridae family in serum.

Methods: Participants undergoing cataract surgery were included in the study. Serum for viral serology including herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) was collected.

Efficacy and safety of an extemporaneous preparation of 2% ganciclovir eye drops in CMV anterior uveitis.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an extemporaneous preparation of 2% ganciclovir topical eye drops in cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis because many studies have confirmed the benefits of topical ganciclovir in varying concentrations.

Design: The study employed a retrospective cohort design.

Methods: This study enrolled 11 eyes (11 patients) with CMV anterior uveitis.

The efficacy of preoperative posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in noninfectious uveitic patients with secondary glaucoma undergoing trabeculectomy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) in noninfectious uveitic patients with secondary glaucoma undergoing primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

Design: This was a retrospective study.

Patients And Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 10 noninfectious uveitic patients, who had received a single preoperative PSTA 40 mg/1 mL, with secondary glaucoma undergoing primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

Probing and syringing with 3% solution of NaCl and/or 0.2 mg/ml mitomycin-C in nasolacrimal duct obstruction patients.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of lacrimal probing and syringing among 3% solution of Sodium Chloride and/or 0.2 mg/ ml Mitomycin-C as an adjunctive medication.

Design: A prospective, randomized, 2 by 2 factorial design study.

Treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids with 5% topical imiquimod: a 3-year follow-up study.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of 5% topical imiquimod, and the long-term results following its use, in the treatment of nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the eyelid.

Methods: Imiquimod cream (5%) was applied topically to five individuals affected by nodular BCC of the eyelid. The patients were followed up during the 6 weeks of treatment and for another 3 years after treatment.
