Sleep Disturbance as a Risk Factor for Retinal Neurodegeneration and Subsequent Glaucoma.

Objective sleep insufficiency and clinically diagnosed sleep disorders correlate with retinal neurodegeneration and confer a higher risk of developing glaucoma. Integrating sleep evaluation and management into ophthalmic care may aid glaucoma prevention.

Risk of Glaucoma and Undergoing Glaucoma Surgery in Myopic and Highly Myopic Eyes: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.

Both myopia and high myopia significantly increase the risk of glaucoma developing and the likelihood of requiring glaucoma surgery, especially for invasive filtering surgeries.

Incidence and treatment patterns of acute retinal necrosis: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

In the largest population-based study of ARN to date, nationwide incidence in Japan closely matched prior UK estimates, suggesting cross-system consistency in ARN epidemiology.

Using artificial intelligence to improve human performance: efficient retinal disease detection training with synthetic images.

Synthetic images can be used effectively in medical education. We also found that humans are more robust to novel situations than AI models, thus showcasing human judgement's essential role in medical diagnosis.
