Acute Angle Closure Incidence in a Large Countywide Safety Net Teleretinal Screening Program: Safety of Pharmacologic Dilation in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

This review synthesizes evidence on the incidence of acute angle closure (AAC) following pharmacologic pupillary dilation in a large teleretinal screening program, confirming the very low risk and supporting dilation safety in diverse populations.

Deep Learning Prediction of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness as a Novel Risk Biomarker for Glaucoma in Ocular Hypertension

A novel deep learning model predicted retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from optic disc photos, enabling risk stratification for primary open-angle glaucoma in ocular hypertension patients, with baseline and longitudinal changes strongly correlated with disease conversion.
