Three ophthalmologists evaluated each image, determining the presence and number of specific DR lesions and then assigning a stage according to the current IG for screening. SIMPLE staging was performed automatically via Excel software, based on the pre-specified DR characteristics observed by the graders. We analysed intra-centre, inter-centre and total inter-grader agreement for DR and DMac stage and referral rate of the two classifications.Results: Agreement amongst the three graders was consistently higher when using SIMPLE classification than when using current IG classification. For DR, kappa (k) was 0.86 with IG and 0.95 with SIMPLE classification; for DMac, k-IG was 0.78, while k-SIMPLE was 0.96; concordance on the referral rate was 0.91 with IG and 0.99 with SIMPLE. Similar results were obtained in sub-analyses for the evaluation of intra-centre and inter-centre concordance.Conclusions: Our results suggest that the new SIMPLE classification has an excellent reproducibility amongst graders, comparable or superior to the current IG for DR screening proposed in 2015, improving the standardisation of the decision on referability.","PeriodicalId":12000,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":"627-636"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141897167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Case 1 showed minimal prechoroidal cleft persistence after treatment with visual acuity stabilization. Case 2 showed prechoroidal cleft resolution, followed by its recurrence with neovascular reactivation. Cases 3 and 4 had a history of nAMD unresponsive to Aflibercept therapy. In Case 3, prechoroidal cleft reappearance occurred simultaneously to neovascular reactivation. In Case 4 prechoroidal cleft resolved rapidly after switching to Faricimab, but this was complicated by the development of a retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear.Conclusion: In this report, we highlight the importance of prechoroidal cleft as a negative prognostic OCT biomarker despite the increasingly proved efficacy of Faricimab.

Subjects in the Reh group received targeted SWD therapy and perceptual training. Visual function, visual evoked potentials, and diffusion tensor imaging were evaluated.Results: After 16 weeks of rehabilitation, the best-corrected visual acuity (p = 0.006) and color vision scores (p = 0.026) in the Reh group improved significantly more than those in the Nreh group.

While mutations in this gene have been associated with leukoencephalopathy as well as ocular manifestations including optic neuropathy and choroidopathy, here we report for the first time a case of severe proliferative retinopathy in a patient with CLCN2 mutation.Observations: A 12-year-old girl with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) was referred due to blurred vision in both eyes. Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed mild vitreous hemorrhage, large neovascularization at the disc (NVD), extensive neovascularization along the arcades (i.e., NVE; neovascularization elsewhere), retinal arteriolar narrowing, silver sheathing of the veins and preretinal hemorrhages. Fluorescein angiography (FA) demonstrated prominent leakage from multiple large NVEs. A thorough and multidisciplinary evaluation ruled out metabolic, thrombotic, infectious, inflammatory, or autoimmune etiologies. Notably, however, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed leukodystrophy yet poorly correlated with her clinical manifestation. Strikingly, whole exome sequencing uncovered a homozygous mutation in the CLCN2 gene. She was treated with intravitreal injections of the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody Bevacizumab and laser pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) with partial response.Conclusions: This case suggests that CLCN2 mutation may possess a key role in an aggressive form of proliferative retinopathy with partial response to anti-VEGF therapy. We hypothesize that the potential underlying mechanism involves astrocyte dysfunction and retinal blood barrier disruption. Noteworthy, a comprehensive approach is unequivocally significant in evaluating such cases of proliferative retinopathy with unclear etiology to establish a diagnosis and management strategy.","PeriodicalId":12000,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":"11206721251316612"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143467414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goal of this study was to evaluate long-term effectiveness of Repeated Low-Level Red Light (RLRL) therapy for children with myopia, which primarily focused on Axial length (AL) and Spherical Equivalent Refraction (SER) as primary endpoints.Methods: The research compared outcomes between RLRL treatment with Single Vision Spectacles (SVS) for childhood myopia management. We performed a systematic literature search in the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases using \"Myopia\" and \" Repeated Low-Level Red Light \". Mean differences (MD) were estimated and the effects of therapies measured. Publication bias and heterogeneity analysis were carried out by Inverted Precision Effect Test-Precision Effect Estimate Standard Error (PET-PEESE) (and subsequent Search Sequential Analysis) and Tau test. Bayesian meta-analysis was performed using Jaffrey Amazing Statistical Package (JASP).Results: This meta-analysis comprised 1,714 participants: 824 in RLRL and 890 in SVS group. Pooled effect size for AL reduction was 0.953 ± 0.294, (95% credible interval (CI) 0.775 to 0.980). Pooled effect size for SER reduction was 1.521 ± 0.662 (95% CI 0.102 to 2.736). PET-PEESE analysis revealed no significant publication bias (p-value 0.407). Random effects models were employed for presence of significant heterogeneity (3.9 and 5.7 for AL; 5.7 for SER), alongside degree of variation (0.828 & 1.665) for Tau (τ), which estimates the between-study variance.Conclusion: Long-term observations indicate that RLRL treatment significantly influences myopia management, leading to considerable reductions in both AL and SER.

Ocular manifestations in CML are infrequent but can be the initial indicators of the disease. We report the case of a 28-year-old male patient with suspected hyperviscosity syndrome secondary to CML, based on fundus findings and supported by multimodal imaging.Methods: Multimodal imaging was performed to assess the ocular manifestations, before and after treatment.Results: The patient presented with posterior segment findings consistent with hyperviscosity syndrome, including retinal hemorrhages, vascular dilation, and tortuosity as demonstrated by multimodal imaging techniques. Further investigations confirmed the diagnosis of CML, and treatment with hydroxyurea, allopurinol, and imatinib led to a significant improvement in visual acuity and resolution of posterior segment findings.Conclusion: Ocular manifestations in CML vary widely and include both anterior and posterior segment involvement. Regular ophthalmic examinations are essential for the early detection of relapses or complications.
