All subjects were received PF tafluprost/timolol FC once daily. Intraocular pressure (IOP) levels were documented for each eye at the untreated baseline and up to six months after the initiation of medical treatment. All adverse events, including ocular and systemic adverse reactions, were recorded. Additionally, the reasons for medication discontinuations were thoroughly documented.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000A total of 32 POAG patients with high-baseline IOP (> 21 mmHg) and 75 with normal-baseline IOP were included in the study. The subjects' baseline mean age was 62.4 ± 8.7 (range: 26 - 85 years); among them, 42 were women (39.3%). Mean IOP at baseline for all patients was 18.6 ± 4.3 mmHg. The mean IOP at six months was 12.6 ± 4.7 mmHg, representing a significant decrease compared to the baseline (-32%; P< 0.001). In POAG patients with high-baseline IOP, mean IOP was significantly lowered from 28.0 ± 5.7 mmHg at baseline to 18.0 ± 5.5 mmHg (-35%; P< 0.001); in patients with normal-baseline IOP, from 14.6 ± 3.4 mmHg to 10.3 ± 4.1 mmHg (-29%; P< 0.001). PF tafluprost/timolol FC was well tolerated and safe. After 6 months, 97.2% of all patients remained on therapy.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusions\u0000In this real-world observational study, once-daily treatment with PF tafluprost/timolol FC demonstrated clinically relevant and statistically significant efficacy, as well as safety and good tolerability, in treatment-naive patients diagnosed with POAG.","PeriodicalId":101356,"journal":{"name":"Korean journal of ophthalmology : KJO","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To prolapse the palpebral lobe, the examiner pulled the temporal part of the upper eyelid in the superotemporal direction and directed the subject to look in the inferonasal direction. We scanned the palpebral lobes longitudinally and transversely using UBM. We used an Aviso UBM (Quantel Medical, Clermont-Ferrand, France) with a 50 MHz linear probe and ClearScan.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000In UBM of two healthy subjects, the echogenicity of the lacrimal gland was lower than that of the sclera and homogeneous. But, the parenchyma of a patient with Sjögren dry eye syndrome was quite inhomogeneous compared to the healthy subjects. In two patients with dry eye syndrome, we were able to observe some lobules in the parenchyma. We could find excretory ducts running parallel at the surface of the longitudinal section in some subjects. In the longitudinal UBM scan of a subject, we observed a tubular structure at a depth of 1500 µm that was considered a blood vessel. It ran from the superonasal to the inferotemporal direction. In a subject, we observed a large cyst beneath the conjunctiva.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusions\u0000Lacrimal gland imaging using UBM has both advantages of OCT and sonography, and could be useful for evaluating dry eye syndrome.","PeriodicalId":101356,"journal":{"name":"Korean journal of ophthalmology : KJO","volume":"8 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessment included monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA at 60cm), near visual acuity (UNVA at 40cm and 33cm), uncorrected defocus curves, questionnaires evaluating photic phenomena, spectacle independence and spectacle free satisfaction.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000At 3-month postoperatively, mean uncorrected binocular visual acuities were 0.04, 0.04, 0.03 logMAR at far, intermediate, and near distances respectively.

Monocular and binocular defocus curve indicated a mean VA of 0.2 logMAR or better at the defocus range of +1.0 D to - 3.0D (100 cm to 33 cm) and +1.0 D to - 3.5 D (100 cm to 28 cm).

OAEs were categorized as ischemia and inflammation by their presumed pathogenesis, and were compared by types of vaccine: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and viral vector vaccine. The crude incidence rate was calculated using data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000Twenty-four patients with OAEs after COVID-19 vaccination were reviewed: 10 patients after mRNA and 14 after viral vector vaccine. Retinal vein occlusion (9 patients) and paralytic strabismus (4 patients) were the leading diagnoses. Ischemic OAE was likely to occur after viral vector vaccines, while inflammatory OAE was closely related to mRNA vaccine (p=0.017). The overall incidence rate of OAE was 5.8 cases per million doses: 11.5 per million doses in viral vector vaccine and 3.4 per million doses in mRNA vaccine.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusion\u0000OAEs can be observed shortly after the COVID-19 vaccination, and their category was different based on the types of vaccine.

Visual and anatomical outcomes were evaluated at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month. Complete polyp regression rate and percentage change of vascular lesion and polyp area were evaluated after three monthly injections of brolucizumab. The effect of complete polyp regression and the impact of vascular lesion and polyp reduction rate on one-year treatment outcome were also evaluated. Additionally, the incidence of brolucizumab-related intraocular inflammation (IOI) and its clinical course were examined.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000In terms of visual outcome, best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA) significantly improved after 12 month follow-up (p<0.001). In terms of anatomical outcome, central macular thickness(CMT) and central choroidal thickness(CCT) significantly decreased after 12 month follow-up (p<0.001). Complete polyp regression was observed in 74.2% (23/31) after three monthly injections. Group with complete polyp regression had a higher rate of achieving dry macula at 3-month(p=0.026) and fewer number of injections(p<0.001) compared to the group without complete polyp regression. Higher polyp reduction rate was significantly associated with higher CMT change from baseline at 3-month (p=0.048) while higher vascular lesion reduction rate was significantly associated with higher CMT change from baseline at 12-month(p=0.031) and fewer number of injections(p=0.012).
