Purpose: Phosphenes are frequently reported by patients irradiated in the head and neck area. The aim of the present study was to characterize and investigate potential mechanisms of proton beam therapy (PBT)–induced phosphenes in a large population of patients undergoing PBT for ocular tumors. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods:...

Purpose: The use of planar ultra-widefield fundus photography (UWF) may result in distortions and inaccurate measurement. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of UWF instead of the standard narrow field (SF) for the treatment planning phase of ocular tumours. Methods: Distortions between conformal SF and UWF were assessed in 43...
