Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a condition characterised by visual hallucinations of varying complexity on a background of vision loss. CBS research has gained popularity only in recent decades, despite evidence dating back to 1760. Knowledge of CBS among both the patient and professional populations unfortunately remains poor, and little is known of its underlying pathophysiology. CBS parallels two other better-known conditions that occur as a result of sensory loss: phantom limb syndrome (PLS) (aberrant sensation of the presence of a missing limb) and tinnitus (aberrant sensation of sound). As ‘phantom’ conditions, CBS, PLS and tinnitus share sensory loss as a precipitating factor, and, as subjective perceptual phenomena, face similar challenges to investigations. Thus far, these conditions have been studied separately from each other. This review aims to bridge the conceptual gap between CBS, PLS and tinnitus and seek common lessons between them. It considers the current knowledge base of CBS and explores the extent to which an understanding of PLS and tinnitus could provide valuable insights into the pathology of CBS (including the roles of cortical reorganisation, emotional and cognitive factors), and towards identifying effective potential management for CBS.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly in the domain of facial processing tasks, has witnessed substantial growth in the 21st century. However, this requires sufficient appraisal for clinicians and researchers to adequately understand nomenclature and key concepts commonly used in this field. This article aims to elucidate the diverse applications of facial processing tasks, such as facial landmark extraction, face detection, face tracking, facial expression recognition and action unit detection, and their relevance to ophthalmology and other medical specialties. The keywords ‘ophthalmology’, ‘facial artificial intelligence’, ‘facial recognition’ and ‘periorbital measurements’ were used on PubMed and Ovid, between September 2012 and September 2022, to identify and screen for eligible articles. Studies reporting on human patients in ophthalmology, plastic, maxillofacial and cosmetic surgery with ocular lesions whose facial biometrics were processed by AI and written in the English language were included. A total of 291 and 513 articles were identified on PubMed and Ovid respectively. Twenty articles were included for analysis in this literature review after duplicates, inaccessible articles and articles without full manuscripts were excluded. Although fully automated algorithms can share the workload in healthcare systems and relieve strains on manpower, rigorous testing is crucial, followed by the challenges of convincing management bodies that it would work in reality, coupled with the costs of implementing specialised functional hardware and software. While patients have a valid concern that it would reduce physical contact with clinicians, it is important for clinicians not to replace clinical decision-making with AI alone.

Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic eye disorder often associated with PAX6 gene mutations, leading to complex ocular manifestations, including aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK) and cataracts. The surgical management of cataracts in these patients is particularly challenging due to severe corneal opacities, which obscure key surgical steps such as capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification. This report presents two cases of congenital aniridia with severe AAK, in which chandelier retroillumination-assisted cataract surgery was employed. This technique, typically used in vitreous surgery, provided enhanced visualization of the lens through posterior segment illumination, facilitating successful cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Both patients showed significant postoperative improvement in visual acuity. These cases demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of chandelier retroillumination-assisted cataract surgery in patients with congenital aniridia complicated by severe corneal opacity.
