The treatment is a minimally invasive intravitreal injection that can be performed with a topical anesthetic.

AI matched and outshone human specialists.

A new study shows that much of an older person with visual impairment's physical activity is achieved at home. Improved home lighting can help increase those at-home activity rates.

New treatments for geographic atrophy coming down the pike has the potential to change eye care providers' approach to identifying and managing the disease.

The prevailing message is that physicians have “a long way to go” in the optimization of management and prevention of myopic vitreoretinal disease.

Central retinal artery occlusion is characterized by painless, sudden vision loss in one eye, which may be a sign of an eye stroke.

The study further defined the relationship between delayed rod-mediated dark adaptation and the status of outer retinal bands on optical coherence tomography.

A new study found that only a little over half of school-aged children participants underwent vision screening within the past two years, highlighting gaps in eye care access.

Elodie Bousquet, MD, PhD, and international researchers studied type 3 macular neovascularization (T3 MNV) using optical coherence tomography. In 64.5% of 31 eyes with T3 MNV, it developed over soft drusen, showing drusen growth and outer layer thinning before T3 MNV.

EODM may be an ideal candidate for development of complement gene therapy due to the high-impact genetic variants.

The study also pointed out the insight into the genes and biologic pathways that determine retinal health, which could be leveraged to develop future therapies.

The afternoon sessions promise to be engaging and informative in this virtual conference.

This meeting, scheduled for Saturday, February 3, 2024, is a 1-day virtual event sponsored by the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, University of Miami Health System.

Leanne Clevenger, MD, described a case that highlights varying approaches and protocols for addressing a complex case of retinal detachment repair in a patient with trauma to the globe.

A recent study found that despite worldwide reports of ocular inflammatory events being reported after patients received COVID-19 vaccinations, a low amount has been reported in the UK.

Evaluating injections of anti-VEGF drugs into the intra-anterior chamber may be a viable alternative, but further study is required.

Consensus, awareness, and a CVI registry: top priorities of the trans-NIH event

Principle findings showed that aflibercept 8 mg demonstrated similar improvements in BCVA and CST when compared to the 2 mg dose of aflibercept.

Varun Chaudhary, MD, FRCSC, addressed the big questions in treating patients with retinal vascular diseases: who will and will not respond to treatment and what clues are predictive on imaging, at the Retina 2024 meeting in Maui.

In his presentation, Eichenbaum defined gene therapy and described its use in common retinal disease.

The data indicated that patients with Alzheimer’s disease who were treated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors had a slightly lower hazard of developing AMD compared with untreated patients.
