RESUMO
The rise of primary topical monotherapy with chemotherapeutic drugs and immunomodulatory agents represents an increasing recognition of the medical management of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), which may replace surgery as the standard of care in the future. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best way to manage OSSN with no existing guidelines to date. This paper seeks to evaluate evidence surrounding available treatment modalities and proposes an approach to management. The approach will guide ophthalmologists in selecting the most appropriate treatment regime based on patient and disease factors to minimize treatment related morbidity and improve OSSN control. Further work can be done to validate this algorithm and to develop formal guidelines to direct the management of OSSN.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess optic nerve head (ONH) deformations following acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevations and horizontal eye movements in control eyes, highly myopic (HM) eyes, HM eyes with glaucoma (HMG), and eyes with pathologic myopia (PM) alone or PM with staphyloma (PM + S). Methods: We studied 282 eyes, comprising of 99 controls (between +2.75 and -2.75 diopters), 51 HM (< -5 diopters), 35 HMG, 21 PM, and 75 PM + S eyes. For each eye, we imaged the ONH using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) under the following conditions: (1) primary gaze, (2) 20 degrees adduction, (3) 20 degrees abduction, and (4) primary gaze with acute IOP elevation (to â¼35 mm Hg) achieved through ophthalmodynamometry. We then computed IOP- and gaze-induced ONH displacements and effective strains. Effective strains were compared across groups. Results: Under IOP elevation, we found that HM eyes exhibited significantly lower strains (3.9 ± 2.4%) than PM eyes (6.9 ± 5.0%, P < 0.001), HMG eyes (4.7 ± 1.8%, P = 0.04), and PM + S eyes (7.0 ± 5.2%, P < 0.001). Under adduction, we found that HM eyes exhibited significantly lower strains (4.8% ± 2.7%) than PM + S eyes (6.0 ± 3.1%, P = 0.02). We also found that eyes with higher axial length were associated with higher strains. Conclusions: Our study revealed that eyes with HMG experienced significantly greater strains under IOP compared to eyes with HM. Furthermore, eyes with PM + S had the highest strains on the ONH of all groups.
