Glaucoma, an eye disease, occurs due to Retinal damages and it is ordinary cause of blindness. Most the available examining procedures are too long require manual instructions use them. In this work, we proposed a multi-level deep convolutional neural network (ML-DCNN) architecture on retinal fundus images diagnose glaucoma. We collected database from local hospital. The pre-processed by adaptive histogram equalizer reduce noise images. ML-DCNN used for features extraction classification...

To determine type practice of used undergraduate compare use gender GPA. This was cross-sectional study in which an self-administered questionnaire evaluate practices during Covid-19 pandemic. Complete enumeration sampling method collect data from 180 studying at College Medicine, Majmaah University, Saudi...

Introduction Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt is a miniature, stainless steel, nonvalved device used for the treatment of glaucoma. The purpose this study was to evaluate safety during magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Methods effect field on evaluated in 4 scenarios. (1) Wet dish test: placed floating filled with water and exposed fields 1.5 3 Tesla 30 seconds. (2) Dry dry MR (3) Intracameral freely anterior chamber human cadaver eye MR. (4) Scleral fixation implanted through sclera Results...

To evaluate the effect of 6 weeks administration beclomethasone nasal spray on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or controlled primary open-angle glaucoma.Randomized double-masked trial. Patients were randomized to twice daily versus placebo saline spray. There a total 4 study visits: baseline and 2, 4, after starting Each visit was at same time within 1-hour window. Primary outcome measure IOP. Secondary measures included visual acuity, anterior segment...

To examine the role of ocular massage during hypertensive phase after Ahmed valve surgeryNonrandomized prospective study.Eighteen patients with intraocular pressure (IOP) above target 1 to 8 weeks glaucoma drainage device surgery underwent digital massage. The mean IOP hour was 4.3 mm Hg lower than before (18.8%, P=0.0008). We used a 20% reduction in at 1-hour postmassage differentiate responders from nonresponders and by this definition 50% responded One patient (5.6%) well but unable...

Background and Objectives: There is a paucity of literature on the dietary attitude (DA) patients with type 2 diabetes in Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA). Although prevalence mellitus (DM) high Gulf countries, there remains lack understanding importance behavior management among patients. Understanding towards disease requires knowledge their DA. Therefore, this study aimed to assess evaluate DA patients, it first its kind KSA. Material Methods: An analytical cross-sectional was conducted 350...

The aim of this study is to identify the trends in practice pattern among current ophthalmology residents Saudi Arabia.Ophthalmology Arabia responded anonymously a written survey between November 2007 and February 2008. contained questions on demographic information, medical education, residency training, career goals factors influencing their choice. data were categorized by gender. influence gender outcome was assessed univariate fashion using Chi-square or Fisher exact test when...

To evaluate the outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation surgery for refractory glaucoma.This one-armed historical cohort study was conducted in 2011. Refractory defined as eyes with an intraocular pressure (IOP) greater than 21 mm Hg maximally tolerated medications, failed surgeries, or both. For all that underwent AGV implantation, data were collected on IOP, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and medications preoperatively 4, 6, 12, 24 56wk postoperatively. Logarithm values...

Purpose: To compare different macular thickness parameters and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) between recently diagnosed cases of multiple sclerosis (MS) without optic neuropathy (ON) healthy individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed June 2014 2015. All subjects underwent ocular examination. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) used to measure the layers retina at regions quadrants. Between groups comparison with P < 0.05 indicating...

Background: To assess the visual outcomes following cataract surgeries at a Private Eye Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Methods: This was cohort study of performed from January to June 2014. Preoperative data were collected on patient demographics presenting and best corrected distance acuity (BCVA) ocular comorbidity. Data also type surgery, intraocular lens (IOLs) implanted, complications. BCVA refractive status 6−8 weeks postoperatively noted. The predictors vision ≥6/18...

The visual and refractive status were assessed for grade 7 students in seven governorates Oman. health records reviewed to assess the rationale their previous school-based vision screening.A representative sample of 7(th) with a error (RE) was examined by optometrists 2012. Their compliance spectacle wear also reviewed. Each student's grades 1 4 compared 7. use eye care services between evaluated determine uptake existing problems.This study had 286, RE (myopia [94%], hyperopia [4%]...

To evaluate the outcomes of argon laser photoablation benign conjunctival pigmented nevi with different clinical presentations.This interventional case series was conducted between July 2014 and January 2015. Patients presenting were included. Data collected on features at presentation, photoablation, follow-up 8 24 weeks. Postoperative photography allowed recording success each overall rate. Complete removal pigments considered an absolute success. Partial pigmentation requiring repeat...

We compared the thickness of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and/against normal population.This cross-sectional study RNFL DME (DME group) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to a comparable group healthy (nondiabetic) (control group). Measurements were performed different/the four quadrants and macula region for fovea, parafoveal, perifoveal areas. The mean was between both groups.There fifty eyes nonglaucomatous (29...

Fracture of an intraocular lens (IOL) haptic is a rare complication cataract surgery. A broken can cause serious damage in the anterior and posterior segments. To best our knowledge, high-quality, commercially available trifocal IOL has not been documented literature. Prompt proactive action at 1 day postoperatively aided addressing restoring vision. We suggest that ophthalmologist performed thorough evaluation on st postoperative take immediate after discussion with patient relatives.
