Background: Trabeculectomy and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) such as goniotomy aim to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden but are often performed in patients with differing disease severity. Methods: We retrospectivel...
Background: This study evaluates the incidence and outcomes of patients with dropped nucleus/nuclear fragment during phacoemulsification surgery; Methods: Retrospective review of continuous cases with dropped nucleus/nuclear fragment during phacoemul...
Background/Purpose: Ophthalmic triage is challenging for non-specialists due to limited training and rising global eye disease burden. This study evaluates a multimodal framework integrating clinical text and ophthalmic imaging with large language mo...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a debilitating chronic disorder that results in ocular microvascular complications, including diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Early detection and timely intervention for DR and DME are crucial for...
Smartphone-based fundus cameras and telemedicine are an opportunity for accessing ocular health inequalities in under-resourced areas. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of retinal findings in a community in the Amazon and prop...
Background: Uveitis, although a rare complication of multiple sclerosis (MS), poses a significant challenge in clinical management. Traditional treatments like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and surgical interventions often provide limited effi...

Background: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness around the world and is characterized as a group of irreversible optic neuropathies with multiple risk factors such as age, race/ethnicity, sex, and intraocular pressure (IOP), among...
The prevalence of vision impairment and eye disease is higher among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet there are no standardized guidelines for this vulnerable population. We hypothesized that there are self-reported unmet ophthalmic car...
