The effects were analyzed using the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and standard patient evaluation of eye dryness (SPEED) questionnaires, Schirmer test II, blink patterns, lipid layer thickness (LLT), meibomian gland expressibility (MGE) and extent of meibomian gland (MG) dropout (meiboscale).Results: MTDE patients (LLT ≤60 nm, n = 38) were younger than those in ADDE (LLT >60 nm, n = 33). Before CsA treatment, they had higher Schirmer scores, less MGE, and a thinner LLT. There was no statistically significant difference in OSDI/SPEED scores between groups. CsA improved the OSDI in the ADDE group but not in the MTDE group. CsA treatment decreased the severity of superficial punctate keratitis (SPK) in both groups, but it significantly decreased partial blinks, total blinks, and partial blink rates in the ADDE group only. CsA did not increase the Schirmer score, LLT, MGE, or meiboscale grade in both groups. CsA could significantly improve subjective symptoms, SPK, and blink patterns in dry eyes refractory to topical steroids, which were more pronounced in ADDE than in MTDE.Conclusion: In MTDE cases, concurrent MG treatment modalities, such as intense pulse light and/or thermal pulsation, could be considered to maximize the effects of CsA treatment.","PeriodicalId":44978,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10712756/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49206608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, post-COVID-19 group's and control group's RNFL and RPC-VD values were compared, then post-COVID-19 patients were divided into subgroups according to the presence (subgroup-A) and absence (subgroup-B) of olfactory/gustatory dysfunction symptoms, and same parameters were analyzed for subgroups.Results: Forty-one eyes of 41 post-COVID-19 patients and 31 eyes of 31 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional study. In RNFL analysis, inferior sector thickness was found significantly lower in post-COVID-19 patients by comparison with control group (P = 0.041). In subgroup analyses, COVID-19 patients who first presented with olfactory/gustatory dysfunction symptoms had higher peripapillary and whole image optic disc capillary density (P = 0.011 and P = 0.002) compared to those who had not had these symptoms.Conclusion: Lower RPC-VD and RNFL thickness were detected in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls. Higher Disc-VD values were found in COVID-19 patients with chemosensorial dysfunction (CSD) symptoms compared to those who had not had these symptoms probably due to milder disease course in COVID-19 with CSD. Sectorial RNFL attenuation in COVID-19 might have occurred secondary to peripapillary capillary circulation defect.","PeriodicalId":44978,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11034685/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70846591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In severe cases, it can lead to dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), involving death of retinal ganglion cells and permanent vision loss. Imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) has enabled noninvasive examination of the structural impact of the disease, including of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), the ganglion cell layer (GCL), and the inner plexiform layer (IPL). In this study, we systematically review 20 studies (897 patients, 1430 eyes) to evaluate changes in retinal thickness in patients with TED, stratified by severity. Most studies found a decrease in thickness in peripapillary RNFL (pRNFL), non-pRNFL, combined RNFL/GCL/IPL, or combined GCL/IPL when comparing patients with DON to healthy controls or to patients without DON. However, results were equivocal regarding differences between non-DON TED patients and controls. In addition, several studies reported a postoperative decrease in pRNFL thickness after orbital decompression surgery. Future studies examining OCT changes of retinal thickness along with disease progression are needed to assess the potential of OCT in diagnosis and management of patients with TED.","PeriodicalId":44978,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11254005/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70847247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six patients developed SO after ocular penetrating trauma, and nine developed SO after ocular surgery, including seven with vitrectomy, one with penetrating keratoplasty, and one with cataract surgery. Penetrating ocular trauma was the primary cause of SO in the first 5 years (four of six cases), but the proportion was much lower in the last 5 years (two of nine cases). The interval between trigger events and SO ranged from 0.2 to 120 months. Nine patients received oral steroids alone, five patients received methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by oral steroids, and immunosuppressants were added in four cases. Visual acuity of sympathetic eyes and exciting eyes improved after treatment. The initial visual acuity of sympathetic eyes in trauma related and ocular surgery related revealed no significant difference, but the final visual acuity of sympathetic eyes was better in ocular surgery-related cases than in the trauma-related cases (mean ± standard deviation, 1.01 ± 1.33 versus 0.49 ± 0.68 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, P = 0.021).Conclusions: With the increased number of eye surgeries performed in recent years, eye surgery has emerged as the dominant etiology of SO in our 10-year study. Early detection and proper treatment help to maintain vision in most of the SO patients.","PeriodicalId":44978,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10712751/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70846687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
