Avascular Peripheral Retina in Infants

Avascular peripheral retina in an infant is a common characteristic of numerous pediatric retinal vascular disorders and often presents a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. In this review, key features of each disease in the differential diagnosis, from retinopathy of prematurity, familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, Coats disease, incontinentia pigmenti, Norrie disease, and persistent fetal vasculature, to other rare hematologic conditions and telomere disorders, will be discussed by expert ophthalmologists in the field

Diving Deep into Deep Learning: an Update on Artificial Intelligence in Retina

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In the present article, we will provide an understanding and review of artificial intelligence in the subspecialty of retina and its potential applications within the specialty. RECENT FINDINGS: Given the significant use of diagnostic imaging within retina, this subspecialty is a fitting area for the incorporation of artificial intelligence. Researchers have aimed at creating models to assist in the diagnosis and management of retinal disease as well as in the prediction of disease course and treatment response. Most of this work thus far has focused on diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinopathy of prematurity, although other retinal diseases have started to be explored as well. SUMMARY: Artificial intelligence is well-suited to transform the practice of ophthalmology. A basic understanding of the technology is important for its effective implementation and growth
