Article Abstract
Intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation is the primary risk factor and currently the main treatable factor for progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. In addition to direct clinical and living animal in vivo studies, ex vivo perfusion of anterior segments and whole eyes is a key technique for studying conventional outflow function as it is responsible for IOP regulation. We present well-tested experimental details, protocols, considerations, advantages, and limitations of several ex vivo model systems for studying IOP regulation. These include: (1) perfused whole globes, (2) stationary anterior segment organ culture, (3) perfused human anterior segment organ culture, (4) perfused animal anterior segment organ culture, (5) perfused human corneal rims, and (6) perfused human anterior segment wedges. These methods, with due consideration paid to their strengths and limitations, comprise a set of very strong tools for extending our understanding of IOP regulation.

Prevalence of vision impairment and refractive error in rural Nepalese children under five years of age.
Clin Exp Optom
September 2025
School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Clinical Relevance: Good vision is critical for childhood development and education. Pre-school vision screening is important for early detection and treatment of visual problems, and prevention of life-long vision loss.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vision impairment (VI) and refractive error (RE) in rural Nepalese children under five years of age.

Comparative Validation of MOPTIM MRT-200 Refraction Device with 2WIN and Retinomax.

Alaska Blind Child Discovery, Alaska Children's EYE & Strabismus, Anchorage, Alaska, 99508, USA.
Background: Portable sphero-cylinder refraction is useful for remote medical missions and self-checking. A novel, inexpensive, handheld optical scope with an internal vision chart and adjustable diopter lens, called the Moptim MRT-200, was therefore validated.
Methods: Young, capable patients from a pediatric eye practice had dry refraction estimates with the Moptim MRT-200, Adaptica 2WIN photoscreener, and Monocular Retinomax compared with actual refined retinoscopy.
Endovascular Treatment for Fungal Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm.

Department of Neurosurgery, The University of Osaka Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, JPN.
Fungal cerebral aneurysms, particularly those resulting from direct invasion by fungal sinusitis, are rare and often fatal when involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). We present a case of a ruptured fungal ICA aneurysm caused by sinusitis, successfully treated with parent artery occlusion (PAO). In this case, an 80-year-old woman presented with right ptosis, facial pain, and cranial nerve III, IV, and VI palsies.

BACKGROUND Degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is an age-related degenerative condition of the vertebral bodies, discs, and ligaments that can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion is a widely used surgical approach for treating CSM, aiming to decompress the spinal cord, restore vertebral alignment, and improve fusion rates, thus providing relief to affected patients. This study was a neurological and biomechanical evaluation of 72 patients with degenerative CSM at 3, 6, and 12 months following anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.
