    Abstract Background and purpose: Climate change is one of the most important threats to human health nowadays. The healthcare industry produces a significant part of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The aim of this study is to assess direct and indirect GHG emissions due to cataract surgery in Spain to identify opportunities for improving.
    Methods: This observational case series study estimates and analyses the carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery using phacoemulsification in Ávila Hospital. ISO standard 14064 was applied.
    Results: The carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery in Ávila Hospital was 86.62kg CO
    Conclusions: Collaboration between pharmaceuticals and ophthalmologists is important to improve the environmental impact of cataract surgery. Future research is needed to introduce changes that do not compromise patient and surgeon safety. Green surgery models could play an encouraging role in the new global health scene.

    Abstract Objective Following nerve injury, the projection of posterior visual pathway lesions into the macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) region indicates retrograde trans-synaptic degeneration (RTSD) as a mechanism of functional damage. Our purpose is to assess GCL damage and the impacts of ischemic brain lesions affecting the visual pathway on macular microvascularization in patients with stroke. Methods In a case-control study, we examined 15 ischemic stroke patients who showed visual field defects and 50 healthy controls using the high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques such as spectral domain-OCT (SD-OCT) to measure retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and GCL thicknesses, and OCT angiography (OCTA) to assess damage to the macular microvasculature. Results In the cases, the correlation was detected among the site of vascular damage, visual field defect, retinal GCL thinning, and normal RNFL thickness. Further observations were significant reductions in macular thickness, GCL thickness, outer retinal layer vascular density, and vascular area in deeper retinal layers (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our findings suggest that ocular microvasculature abnormalities could serve as diagnostic and/or prognostic markers in patients with stroke and support the described use of GCL thickness as an image marker of visual pathway RTSD after brain injury.

    Abstract Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection has a high prevalence worldwide. Within the multiple ophthalmologic manifestations that VZV can cause, sudden diplopia is among them. A review is presented of four clinical cases of 3rd and 4th oculomotor nerve palsies in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. A review is also presented of the physiopathology and most important clinical manifestations. Imaging tests are essential in order to rule out complications. Systemic antiviral administration is the correct treatment.

    Abstract Purpose: To study Haab striae in adults with primary congenital glaucoma and describe them by anterior segment optical coherence tomography, as well as analyze their evolution over the patient's lifetime.
    Material and methods: Three patients with primary congenital glaucoma were recruited, aged between 17 and 48 years old, with incidentally noted Haab striae on glaucoma consultation. They were studied by: slit lamp; anterior segment optical coherence tomography, Heidelberg Engineering Inc., Germany, (with anterior segment module) and Cirrus HD-OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, California, USA (with 3D reconstruction); and specular biomicroscopy. The results obtained were contrasted with other studies performed in children.
    Results: Rounded excrescences protruding towards the anterior chamber were found, as well as dense, irregular tissue between them. In addition, endothelial abnormalities (polymegathism and polymorphism) were found. These findings fit the evolution of those obtained in pediatric studies and remain stable in adult life.
    Conclusions: Through noninvasive methods such as optical coherence tomography and specular biomicroscopy, it is possible to make the diagnosis and follow up these patients. The findings suggest posterior corneal topographic changes; additional studies on this subject may be necessary.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the potential utility of perfusion density measurements to discriminate patients with arterial hypertension by cardiovascular risk category.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, one eye per subject was evaluated (N = 73). The study cohort was divided into three groups according to the clinical criteria established by the European Guidelines for Arterial Hypertension: 26 controls, 24 patients with low cardiovascular risk, and 23 patients with very high cardiovascular risk. All patients were examined using RS-3000 Advance optical coherence tomography angiography to analyze macular and peripapillary perfusion density.
    Results: There were no differences among the three risk groups by sex or age. Decreased macular perfusion density was found at the level of the superficial and deep plexuses (p ⩽ 0.047). No differences were observed in peripapillary perfusion density (p = 0.18).
    Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography angiography can detect changes in macular perfusion density in patients with hypertension and high cardiovascular risk and might represent a supportive imaging method in the evaluation of the cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients.
