Researchers screened for outcomes such as the presence of retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusion

The pandemic caused an overall decrease in the rates of the 10 most common ophthalmic procedures performed in 2020 when compared to the year prior.

The implant was tested in eyes of patients with bilateral age-related macular degeneration who underwent cataract surgery

Researchers reported identifying changes in 4 areas of the brain

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed in all participants; the choroidal and retinal changes were examined and recorded.

The main outcomes were the measurements of the visual acuity and visual field defects.

Previous research has shown that voretigene neparvovec administered subretinally early in childhood for RPE65-mediated inherited retinal dystrophy achieved encouraging efficacious results.

Among these eyes, 18.9% of eyes developed nAMD within 36 months.

Investigators conducted a retrospective review that spanned 10 years with the goals of describing the clinical characteristics of choroidal metastasis in this patient population and report treatment outcomes after targeted therapy compared with conventional radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.

The “Triangle sign” seen on ultrasound is a “distinctive and reliable” ultrasound feature for differentiating total choroidal detachments and suprachoroidal hemorrhages.

The investigators found that the premature births to be associated with vascular changes on ocular coherence tomography-angiography.

The NeurEYE research team will use millions of eye scans from Scottish optometrists to create the data set.

DRSS stable/improved with OKT-TKI; drug well tolerated

Home-stored anti-VEGF drugs face risks from temperature changes, pointing to a need to protect efficacy and avoid dangerous contamination.

They report a case of endophthalmitis and undertook a literature review to identify previous infections with this pathogen.

Cost among other factors may deter patients from screening, especially in rural and low-resource settings.

LHON, a genetic disease that affects the retinal ganglion cells, results in severe bilateral sequential vision loss.

The rationale was that commercial mydriatics administered during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening have been associated with cardiorespiratory and gastrointestinal adverse events.

A single lot (Lot 10101) of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, Single Vials On-the-Go, 25 count, is being voluntarily recalled by Alcon Laboratories due to the detection of fungal material in a consumer-reported vial.
