    Abstract Purpose of review: Home monitoring in ophthalmology is appropriate for disease stages requiring frequent monitoring or rapid intervention, for example, neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma, where the balance between frequent hospital attendance versus risk of late detection is a constant challenge. Artificial intelligence approaches are well suited to address some challenges of home monitoring.
    Recent findings: Ophthalmic data collected at home have included functional (e.g. perimetry), biometric (e.g. intraocular pressure), and imaging [e.g. optical coherence tomography (OCT)] data. Potential advantages include early detection/intervention, convenience, cost, and visual outcomes. Artificial intelligence can assist with home monitoring workflows by handling large data volumes from frequent testing, compensating for test quality, and extracting useful metrics from complex data. Important use cases include machine learning applied to hyperacuity self-testing for detecting neovascular AMD and deep learning applied to OCT data for quantifying retinal fluid.
    Summary: Home monitoring of health conditions is useful for chronic diseases requiring rapid intervention or frequent data sampling to decrease risk of irreversible vision loss. Artificial intelligence may facilitate accurate, frequent, large-scale home monitoring, if algorithms are integrated safely into workflows. Clinical trials and economic evaluations are important to demonstrate the value of artificial intelligence-based home monitoring, towards improved visual outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Ophthalmic microscopes have been crucial in visualizing surgical fields, but their limitations in enhancing the surgical view through digital image processing have prompted the development of digital surgical microscopes. The Beyeonics One microscope, a novel digital microscope, offers ophthalmic surgeons a 3D visualization platform and an augmented reality (AR) surgical headset, potentially improving surgical decision-making and outcomes. While its initial use has been described in cataract and corneal surgeries, its application in vitreoretinal surgery remains relatively unexplored.
    Methods: In this interventional case series, we collected data from the medical records of patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery using the Beyeonics One 3D visualization platform at the Tel Aviv Medical Center. A total of 36 eyes from 36 subjects were included. Surgical techniques included retinal detachment surgeries and macular surgeries, performed by experienced surgeons. The surgical visualization was facilitated by the Beyeonics One 3D head-mounted display (HMD) platform.
    Results: The procedures were uneventful, and none intra- or postoperative complications were reported, and surgeons did not experience any signal delay in the real-time video.
    Discussion: The Beyeonics One microscope offers several potential advantages in vitreoretinal surgery, including digital image processing, enhanced depth perception through the 3D HMD platform, and hands-free image control using head gestures. While this study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of the Beyeonics One microscope, addressing limitations related to hazy views and optimizing image quality are crucial for consistent visualization.

    Abstract Purpose: Geographic atrophy (GA) is a late-stage form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) characterized by the expansion of atrophic lesions in the outer retina. There are currently no approved pharmacological treatments to prevent or slow the progression of GA. This review describes the progression and assessment of GA, predictive imaging features, and complement-targeting investigational drugs for GA.
    Methods: A literature search on GA was conducted.
    Results: Expansion of atrophic lesions in patients with GA is associated with a decline in several measures of visual function. GA lesion size has been moderately associated with measures obtained through microperimetry, whereas GA lesion size in the 1-mm diameter area centered on the fovea has been associated with visual acuity. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can provide 3-dimensional quantitative assessment of atrophy and is useful for identifying early atrophy in GA. Features that have been found to predict the development of GA include certain drusen characteristics and pigmentary abnormalities. Specific OCT features, including hyper-reflective foci and OCT-reflective drusen substructures, have been associated with AMD disease progression. Lesion characteristics, including focality, regularity of shape, location, and perilesional fundus autofluorescence patterns, have been identified as predictors of faster GA lesion growth. Certain investigational complement-targeting drugs have shown efficacy in slowing the progression of GA.
    Conclusion: GA is a progressive disease associated with irreversible vision loss. Therefore, the lack of treatment options presents a significant unmet need. OCT and drugs under investigation for GA are promising future tools for disease management.
