    Abstract Purpose of review: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel, noninvasive imaging technique, which provides depth resolved visualization of microvasculature of the retina and choroid. Although OCTA has been widely used for the evaluation of a number of retinal diseases, its use in the field of neuro-ophthalmology has been less studied. In this review, we provide an update on the utility of OCTA in neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
    Recent findings: Peripapillary and macular microvasculature analyses have indicated that OCTA can be a promising tool for early detection of a number of neuro-ophthalmic diseases, differential diagnosis, and monitoring of disease progression. Recent studies have demonstrated that structural and functional impairment can develop at early stages in some conditions such as in multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease even in the absence of overt clinical symptoms. Furthermore, this dye-less technique can be a valuable adjunct tool in the detection of complications commonly seen in some congenital entities such optic disc drusen.
    Summary: Since its introduction, OCTA has emerged as an important imaging approach shedding light on unrevealed pathophysiological mechanisms of several ocular diseases. The use of OCTA as a biomarker in the field of neuro-ophthalmology has recently gained considerable attention with studies supporting its role in clinical setting while larger studies are warranted for correlating these findings with traditional diagnostic procedures and clinical features and outcomes.

    Abstract Transient monocular visual loss (TMVL), also known as transient monocular blindness or amaurosis fugax ("fleeting blindness"), is a temporary loss of vision often due to ischemia to the retina. While acute TMVL should be considered an emergency that further requires exhaustive investigation, there are some cases in which TMVL arises secondary to benign causes. Age has a major impact in the diagnosis of ischemia and although the differential diagnosis of TMVL can be broad, timely and appropriate history, examination, diagnostic testing, and treatment can be vision- or life-saving. We review the causes of TMVL and the impact of age on the differential diagnoses and management.

    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over the age of 50 worldwide. Exudative or neovascular AMD is a more severe subset of AMD which is characterized by the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Recent advancements in multimodal ophthalmic imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCT-A), have facilitated the detection and characterization of previously undetectable neovascular lesions and have enabled a more refined classification of CNV in exudative as well as nonexudative AMD patients. Subthreshold exudative CNV is a novel subtype of exudative AMD that typically presents asymptomatically with good visual acuity and is characterized by stable persistent or intermittent subretinal fluid (SRF). This review aims to provide an overview of the clinical as well as multimodal imaging characteristics of CNV in AMD, including this new clinical phenotype, and propose effective approaches for management.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Dementia is a term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities, which significantly interferes with daily life. Certain dementing conditions may also affect visual function. The eye is an accessible window to the brain that can provide valuable information for the early diagnosis of people who suffer from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies as well as from more rare causes of dementias, such as Creutzfeldt-Jacob and Huntington's diseases. Herein, we present the ocular manifestations of neurocognitive disorders focusing on the neuro-ophthalmic ones and further discuss potential ocular biomarkers that could help in early detection of these disorders.
    Recent findings: Ophthalmic examination along with the recent developments in in-vivo testing have provided a strong foundation of useful knowledge about brain disorder in neurodegenerative diseases without the need for invasive studies. Currently, a number of visual measures, such as visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, pupil response, and saccades in addition to various ophthalmic tests, such as electroretinogram, visual evoked potential, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT-angiography have been widely used and evaluated as potential biomarkers for different stages of dementia.
    Summary: Ophthalmologic and neuro-ophthalmic evaluation is evolving as an important part of the early diagnosis and management of people with dementia. A particular focus on ocular biomarkers in dementing illnesses has arisen over the past few years and there are several promising measures and imaging tools that have been proposed as potential biomarkers for these diseases.

    Abstract Purpose: Dry-eye disease (DED) is a chronic progressive ocular surface disorder with limited studies in the pediatric population. The Academy of Ophthalmology's IRIS® Registry was leveraged to investigate the prevalence of DED in the pediatric population (PDED, patients <18 years old) and the demographic differences of DED between pediatric and adult patients (ADED).
    Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Patients with DED between January 1st, 2013 and December 31st, 2019 (N = 4,795,979) were included. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-squared tests and two-sample proportions tests were conducted to compare key demographic distributions between the ADED and PDED cohorts.
    Results: The average age at onset for ADED patients was 61.06 (±14.75) years and for PDED patients was 12.51 (±3.86). The overall tests for independence and the individual tests of proportions of each category were statistically significant for all demographic characteristics (p < 0.001). Characteristics with the largest discrepancies between patients of PDED and the IRIS Registry pediatric patient pool (PIRIS) included female sex (58.08 % vs. 50.60 %), male sex (41.58 % vs. 48.78 %) and Asian race (6.02 % vs. 3.11 %) respectively. Within the PDED cohort, females were at higher risk of PDED (58 % vs. 42 %). PDED was more prevalent in children with refractive errors (76 %) and eyelid/conjunctival disorders (41 %). Characteristics with the largest discrepancies between PDED and ADED patients included female sex (58.08 % vs. 68.12 %), male sex (41.58 % vs. 31.55 %) and Caucasian race (50.24 % vs. 67.06 %) respectively.
    Conclusions: Significant differences in the PDED cohort are demonstrated in this study. PDED was more prevalent in the female sex and Caucasian race compared to PIRIS and was more commonly associated with refractive errors and eyelid/conjunctival disorders.

    Abstract A number of congenital and inherited diseases present with both ocular and psychiatric features. The genetic inheritance and phenotypic variants play a key role in disease severity. Early recognition of the signs and symptoms of those disorders is critical to earlier intervention and improved prognosis. Typically, the associations between these two medical subspecialties of ophthalmology and psychiatry are poorly understood by most practitioners so we hope to provide a narrative review to improve the identification and management of these disorders. We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature detailing the diseases with ophthalmic and psychiatric overlap that were more widely represented in the literature. Herein, we describe the clinical features, pathophysiology, molecular biology, diagnostic tests, and the most recent approaches for the treatment of these diseases. Recent studies have combined technologies for ocular and brain imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and functional imaging with genetic testing to identify the genetic basis for eye-brain connections. Additional work is needed to further explore these potential biomarkers. Overall, accurate, efficient, widely distributed and non-invasive tests that can help with early recognition of these diseases will improve the management of these patients using a multidisciplinary approach.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) are rare benign tumors of the anterior visual pathway which present with slowly progressive and painless vision loss and account for approximately 2% of all orbital tumors. This article provides an overview as well as an update on the ONSMs with regards to cause, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management in adults and pediatric population.
    Recent findings: The clinical presentation and prognosis of ONSMs can vary and largely depend on the location of tumor as well as the histologic type. Overall, the diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, examination, and neuroimaging findings. Nevertheless, delays in diagnosis or misdiagnosis are not uncommon and can result in higher morbidity rates. Recent advances in diagnostic as well as more effective and less-invasive treatment options are discussed in this review.
    Summary: ONSMs are a rare cause of slowly progressive and inexorable visual loss. Although ONSM diagnosis depends on the characteristic clinical and radiologic findings, prompt diagnosis, and appropriate management is critical for favorable visual outcomes. Thus, current focus is optimizing diagnostic as well-treatment methods for patients with ONSMs.
