The collected data were divided into a training set (70%) and a test set (30%). Artificial intelligence frameworks were used to distinguish each disorder from controls and to classify corneas into seven groups: keratoconus, high-risk corneas for keratoconus, laser corneal refractive surgery (LCRS), endothelial disorders, stromal opacities, glaucoma corneas and normal corneas.RESULTSStress-strain index (SSI) significantly increased with age in the control group. Compared with controls matched for age/sex, keratoconus was associated with Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI) >0.51 (area under the curve, 0.99), Ambrósio's relational thickness horizontal (ARTh) <425.5 (0.97), deflection amplitude at the time of the first applanation (SPA-A1) <96.3 (0.97) and Pachy<522.4 µm (0.91); high-risk corneas with a difference in CBI between fellow eyes (CBI SYM) >0.14 (0.98), (L2) <1.95 (0.83) and Pachy<549.7 µm (0.71); LCRS with ARTh<455.1 (0.93) and CBI>0.35 (0.83); corneal endothelial disorders with Pachy SYM>19.7 µm (0.83), Pachy>569.1 µm (0.82) and CBI SYM>0.14 (0.77); stromal opacities with SPA-A1 SYM>11.8 (0.92), ARTh<569.9 (0.89), SSI SYM>0.14 (0.89) and CBI>0.22 (0.86).

All participants underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula. Using a multiple-surface OCT segmentation algorithm, the retina was segmented into nine layers. Information about cigarette smoking was assessed in an interview with a standardised questionnaire. The exclusion criterion was the presence of any retinal or optic nerve disease.RESULTSThe study included 2173 participants (mean age: 61.7±8.4 years; mean axial length: 23.1±0.8 mm) with 660 (30.4%) participants with a smoking history and 1513 (69.6%) non-smokers. Mean duration of the smoking period was 8.7±14.9 years, and mean smoking quantity was 9.5±18.2 pack-years. In multivariable analysis, higher prevalence of smoking was associated with thinner whole retina (p=0.024; B=-1.64; 95% CIs -3.07 to -0.22), thinner ganglion cell layer (GCL) (p=.044; B=-0.39; 95% CI -0.78 to -0.01) and thinner photoreceptor outer segment layer (POS) (p=0.024; B=-0.38; 95% CI -0.72 to -0.05) with adjustments of age, gender, axial length, education level and hypertension. Similar results were obtained if the retinal thickness measurements were obtained in the various macular subfields. A longer period of smoking was related to thinner whole retina (p=0.009; B=-0.06; 95% CI -0.10 to -0.01), thinner retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) (p=0.011; B=-0.01; 95% CI -0.02 to -0.002), thinner GCL (p=0.006; B=-0.02; 95% CI -0.03 to -0.01) and thinner POS (p=0.025; B=-0.01; 95% CI -0.02 to -0.001) with adjustments of age, gender, axial length, education level and hypertension.

While artificial intelligence (AI)-based DR screening tools have gained widespread adoption, most research focuses on comparing AI performance with human, with limited attention to AI's role as assistants. This study evaluates the impact of AI-assisted decision-making on DR diagnosis and grading based on colour fundus photographs (CFP) and ultra-widefield fundus (UWF) images.METHODSA total of 224 retinal images were analysed by 21 ophthalmologists and primary care physicians (PCPs) in China. Participants independently diagnosed and graded DR based on CFP and UWF images. After a 1-week interval, they repeated the task with AI assistance. Diagnosis accuracy was compared with a gold standard before and after AI assistance. Incremental costs and accuracy improvements were assessed using generalized estimating equations (GEE) models.RESULTSAI assistance significantly improved DR diagnosis accuracy for both CFP and UWF images. For CFP, accuracy increased from 79.90% to 85.68% for PCPs, 81.19% to 88.69% for ophthalmic residents and 81.41% to 88.05% for ophthalmic attendings. Similar improvements were observed for UWF, with accuracy rising from 83.62% to 89.66% for residents and from 81.31% to 88.98% for attendings. GEE analysis revealed an incremental cost of 4.79 units and an accuracy improvement of 0.35 units with AI assistance.CONCLUSIONAI assistance shows potential in improving the accuracy of DR diagnosis and grading.

The burden of trends from 1990 to 2021 was analysed using a joinpoint regression model, and the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model projected the disease burden through 2030.RESULTSGlobally, there was no significant change in the prevalence rate of blindness and vision loss from 1990 to 2021, but the YLD rate significantly decreased (AAPC -0.17). The prevalence and YLD rates declined for refraction disorders and other vision loss from 1990 to 2021 but increased for near vision loss. The prevalence and YLD rates of refractive disorders show the most significant increase in East Asia. The BAPC model forecasts a rise in global blindness and vision loss prevalence and the YLD from 2021 to 2030 (1.63% and 0.03%, respectively), although refraction disorders and other vision loss are expected to decline.CONCLUSIONSOver the past three decades, global efforts have reduced the burden of blindness and vision loss among children and adolescents.

Materials and methods 35 highly hyperopic (≥+5.00 D most hyperopic meridian) 3-month-old infants (57% female) were enrolled in a clinical trial ([NCT03669146][1]) to determine the effect on emmetropisation (reaching <+3.0 D) of partial refractive correction (full correction reduced by 3.0 D) and visual exercises to stimulate accommodation. Refractive error was obtained by cycloplegic (1% cyclopentolate) retinoscopy and accommodation was assessed with the monocular estimation method (MEM) at near (33 cm) and with the PlusOptix PowerRefractor (Plusoptix, Nuremberg, Germany) at distance (6 m) and near (33 cm). The effect of accommodative response and lag on emmetropisation was analysed using a repeated measures regression model of change in spherical equivalent refractive error as a function of accommodative lag and accommodative response. Results Greater loss of hyperopia was associated with more robust accommodative response at both distance (measured with the PowerRefractor) and near (measured with MEM). These relationships increased in strength with increasing age, reaching B=−0.32 and B=−0.47 diopters of loss of hyperopia per diopter of accommodative response at 18 months (interaction between response and age p=0.004 and p<0.001 for distance and near, respectively). Linear regression analyses showed no significant associations between change in refractive error and defocus at distance or near. Conclusion Contrary to defocus-based models of emmetropisation, greater accommodative response and not hyperopic defocus had the stronger influence on the rate of emmetropisation in hyperopic infants.

Methods This was a retrospective, single-centre, simulation-based, case-control study. Finite element simulations were conducted on individualised optic nerve head models under two gaze conditions: primary gaze and 10° ocular rotation (adduction). The von Mises stress was calculated at the anterior and posterior boundaries of the LC-sclera interface. Intergroup differences in stress and their association with clinical variables were evaluated using analysis of variance, correlation and regression analyses. Results A total of 111 eyes were included: 44 eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ODH, 34 eyes with POAG without ODH and 33 control eyes. We found statistically significant differences in stress at both the anterior and posterior boundaries during adduction between the POAG with ODH group and the other groups (p<0.01). Age and axial length were positively associated with stress at the temporal LC-sclera interface during adduction. Logistic regression identified adduction-induced stress as significantly associated with ODH. The multivariate analysis identified age as the strongest contributor to stress during adduction. Conclusion This study demonstrates that increased stress at the LC-sclera interface may contribute to the occurrence of ODH in glaucoma during adduction in the temporal region. We also found that ageing and longer axial lengths may increase stress, potentially leading to the disruption of small vessels at the optic nerve head. Data are available upon reasonable request.

This study assesses the global burden of blindness caused by ND to inform health policy development. Methods Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021). Age-standardised prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) were analysed using estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) and joinpoint model. Health disparities were evaluated through Sociodemographic Index (SDI) via the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index (CI). Decomposition analysis identified burden changes, and Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) models projected trends through 2040. Results In 2021, global ND-related blindness cases exceeded 4.26 million, reflecting a 60.92% increase in prevalence and 61.33% rise in YLDs since 1990. Age-standardised prevalence rates (ASPR) and YLDs rates (ASYR) increased, with the EAPCs of 0.29 (95% CI 0.26 to 0.32) and 0.31 (95% CI 0.28 to 0.34), respectively, primarily driven by population growth and epidemiological change. Socioeconomic disparities persisted, with higher burdens in lower SDI regions. From 2005 to 2021, prevalence peaked in the 45–54 age group. Projections to 2040 indicated contrasting trends: a decline in prevalence based on 1990–2021 trends, but a slight increase based on 1990–2019 trends, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions The burden of ND-related blindness remains substantial. The heavier burden in low SDI regions and the delayed onset of blindness due to the cumulative effects of ND may be underestimated.
