Opthea’s Post

In eyes affected by primary open angle glaucoma, alteration in retinal vessel structure was measured even at early stages. In this new study, the team at Medical University of Warsaw used a rtx1 camera to capture the walls of retinal arterioles and extract micron-precision measurements. https://lnkd.in/eEk4HiKx #ophthalmology #retina #glaucoma #clinicalresearch #adaptiveoptics #retinalimaging

Nerve Fiber Layer only EnFace image of a glaucoma case! So honored receiving high evaluation from the Chairman Designate of Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Prof. Xinghuai Sun. It is amazing finding RNFL defect in such large area of high-resolution OCT structural enface, captured by one single scan, by #BMizar, a 400kHz speed SS-OCT/OCTA system. From TowardPi.

Normal Tension Glaucoma (RNFL en face), OCTA single scan (1536 x 1280) 'TowardPi full range SS-OCT not only provides ophthalmologists with new exploration ideas in terms of fundus disease and anterior segment, but also in glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology！' Image captured by a 400kHz speed SS-OCTA (#BMizar, BM-400K, TowardPi Medical).

Take the Clinical Challenge A patient in their mid-60s was referred for evaluation of a left iris lesion. The mass had been present for decades and multiple prior office visits with referring ophthalmologists, most recently 4 years prior, showed the mass remained stable in size. Ocular history included cataract extraction with intraocular lens placement and retinal tear of the right eye and cataract of the left eye. Visual acuity without correction was 20/20 OD and 20/25+ OS. What would you do next? A. Observation B. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy C. Plaque brachytherapy D. Iridectomy for excision of the lesion Leave your answer in the comments. 12 PM ET Friday we’ll post the discussion.

Again, I'm thrilled to share the findings of a longitudinal clinical study titled "Volumetric Reduction in Large Cystic Jaw Lesions Postoperative Enucleation," brings new insights into jaw bone regeneration following surgical enucleation for jaw cysts, unicystic ameloblastomas, and keratocysts. This study aimed to provide answers by evaluating the percentage and survival analysis of jaw bone regeneration, measured as cavity volume residual using CT. The most exciting takeaway is that spontaneous bone regeneration occurs without the need for filler materials after enucleation of these jaw lesions. This discovery could lead to more effective and cost-efficient treatments, minimizing the need for frequent CT imaging follow-ups for patients with smaller initial cavities.

Ophthopedia Update:Effect of Corneal and Lens Eccentricity Difference on Rigid Corneal Lens Treatment in Patients With Keratoconus: Objective: To evaluate the effects of rigid corneal lenses (RCL) in patients with keratoconus, based on eccentricity. Methods: Eighty-four eyes from 84 patients were included in this retrospective comparative study. Based on the median value of eccentricity difference between the cornea and back surface of the RCL, the patients were divided into groups 1 ( #Ophthalmology #Eye #Ophthotwitter

#ESMOBreast24 - TROPION-Breast01 Fascinating safety data - <50% toxicity rates compared to standard chemotherapy but the ocular management will have to be incorporated into our daily practice. Ophthalmology assessment at baseline and every three cycles, avoidance of contact lens use and frequent lubricant use are recommended. That might be a challenge in many real world centres but backing up the massive PFS benefit of Dato-Dxd over chemo reported previously, we must find ways of implementing this. The ADC revolution marches on.
