Choroidal changes and association with Gaussian curvature in high myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma in ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate choroidal changes in high myopic (HM) patients with posterior staphyloma (PS) and explore their association with Gaussian curvature (K) using ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF‐OCTA). Methods HM patients with wide macular PS (Type I PS) and without any PS (control) were recruited.

Outsourced eye care in the Finnish capital region: Switching from fee‐for‐service to bundled payment model

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The demand for specialised eye care has quadrupled over the last two decades, driven by an aging population and the advent of new treatments. This surge has led to increased outsourcing by the Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS) Eye Hospital, initially relying on a fee‐for‐service model. This model, however, has been marked by
