To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of an endoscopic transconjunctival inferior fornix and precaruncular approach for repair of combined orbital medial wall and floor fractures involving the inferomedial strut.

A retrospective study was performed in 84 patients with combined orbital medial wall and floor fractures involving the inferomedial strut. All patients underwent surgery by endoscopic transconjunctival inferior fornix and precaruncular approach. A large polyester mesh plate was implanted to cover the fracture defect. The enophthalmos, diplopia, and surgical complications were evaluated pre- and postoperatively. Patients were followed for at least 6 months.

A total of 84 patients (55 men and 29 women) with a mean age of 36.88 ± 12.95 years were included in this study. Preoperatively, all 84 patients had an enophthalmos >2 mm, and the mean exophthalmometry measurement was 11.6 ± 2.14 mm. Diplopia was presented in 33 patients. Postoperatively, good symmetry was acquired in 81 of 84 patients, with a mean improvement of 3.02 ± 0.99 mm in the enophthalmos (P < 0.05). Recovery from diplopia occurred in 32 of 33 patients. A new onset of diplopia occurred postoperatively in 13 of the remaining 51 patients, only to recover spontaneously after 1 month. C59 One patient suffered retrobulbar hemorrhage after surgery and was cured by conservative therapy. No other serious complications occurred.

The endoscopic transconjunctival inferior fornix and precaruncular approach is a promising management technique for combined orbital medial wall and floor fractures involving the inferomedial strut.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the perifoveal and peripapillary microvascular structure in patients with Behçet's disease (BD) without clinically ocular involvement.

Fifty-six eyes of 28 patients with Behçet's disease without clinically ocular involvement and 50 age-matched healthy eyes were included in this prospective study. Vessel densities (VD) of macula and optic nerve head, foveal avascular zone (FAZ), choroid capillary plexus (CCP) flow area, perifoveal capillary nonperfusion, capillary dilatation and/or telangiectasia and perifoveal capillary arcade disruption were analyzed with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The relationship between duration of disease and vessel densities was also evaluated.

The FAZ was significantly higher in the BD group (p < 0.001). VD of the foveal and parafoveal region in deep capillary plexus (DCP) were significantly lower in the BD group than in the control group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). Total disc, peripapillary and inside-disc VD were significantly lower in BD group (p = 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.004). Perifoveal morphological changes in DCP were significantly higher in nonocular BD (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). There was a mild negative correlation between disease duration and whole VD in DCP, total disc VD, peripapillary VD was determined (For whole VD in DCP, r = -0.400, p = 0.035; for total disc VD r = -0.396, p = 0.037; for peripapillary VD r = -0.442, p = 0.018).

Perifoveal and peripapillary microvascular changes that can be detected by OCTA may occur in Behçet's patients without clinically ocular involvement.

To report clinical outcomes of modified Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study IRIS (COMS IRIS) plaques for treatment of iris, iridociliary, and ciliary body melanoma.

Retrospective, single-centre cohort study of iris melanoma treated with COMS IRIS plaque radiotherapy from July 26, 2010 to October 15, 2018. Medical records were reviewed for demographics, tumour features, treatment parameters, and clinical outcomes.

There were 22 cases, diagnosed at mean age of 59 years (median 65, range 21-85 years) with female sex in 14 (64%). Presenting tumour features included Snellen visual acuity (VA) ≥ 20/40 in 18 (82%) cases, mean largest tumour basal diameter 4.7 mm (median 3.9, range 2.3-13.8 mm) and thickness 1.7 mm (median 1.6 mm, range 0.8-3.9 mm), iris stromal seeding in 3 (14%) cases, angle seeding in 16 (73%), and ciliary body involvement in 13 (59%). After mean follow-up of 51 months (median 44, range 4-113 months), Snellen VA was ≥20/40 in 14 (64%) cases, with local tumour recurrence in 2 (9%), and enucleation in 2 (9%). The 3-year Kaplan-Meier estimated risk of local tumour recurrence was 7%. The most common radiation side effects were cataract in 17 (77%) patients and dry eye in 5 (23%). Systemic metastasis occurred in no cases, and 1 (5%) non-melanoma-related death due to natural causes was observed at last follow-up.

COMS IRIS plaques are effective for treatment of iris, iridociliary, and ciliary body melanoma with modest VA outcomes and low frequency of local tumour recurrence, enucleation, radiation side effects, and systemic metastasis.

To investigate visual impairment and disability, refractive error, and barriers to eye care in the homeless in Cardiff, United Kingdom.

Prospective cross-sectional study carried out on participants in homeless shelters in Cardiff. We collected participants socio-demographic profile, ocular history and access to eyecare services. Quantitative data included near and distance visual acuity and a non-cycloplegic refraction.

A total of 100 participants were studied in this study. Prevalence of myopia was 19% and hyperopia 17%. Mean SE (Spherical Equivalent) for myopia -2.42D (95% CI -1.65 to -3.19 D), for hyperopia this was +2.22D (95% CI + 1.66 to +2.79). The prevalence of astigmatism was 36% (mean 1.67 D, 95% CI -0.88 to 0.94, n = 100). The number of participants with visual acuity (VA) worse than 6/12 was 11% in comparison to 0.89% and 1.1% in the general Cardiff and Welsh population respectively (p < 0.05). Additionally, 1% of the homeless subjects were registerable as blind (visual acuity worse than 3/60 in the better eye).
