Across mild, moderate, and severe disease, 3 cases show how timely glaucoma intervention can reduce medications and preserve sight.
New Turkish study links sleeve gastrectomy weight loss to clearer cornea and lens, lower eye pressure, and widened anterior chamber in 6 months.
Danish JAMA Dermatology trials show short-term topical or oral corticosteroids don’t raise intraocular pressure, easing glaucoma worries in atopic dermatitis care.
The device is described as “a wireless brain implant designed to provide artificial vision for people with total blindness by bypassing the eyes and optic nerves and connecting directly to the brain’s visual cortex.
ECG-synchronized Doppler holography provides repeatable measurements of the retinal blood flow.
Research suggests that one drop of atropine is all it takes for beneficial effects.
The study was conducted by researchers from VisionSpring and Queen’s University Belfast, with support from USAID.
Mt. Sinai introduced the miDOC system at the ASCRS annual meeting.
The phase 3 study was a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating subcutaneous teprotumumab administered every 2 weeks for 24 weeks.
Images showed that Parkinson disease is associated with a thicker photoreceptor nuclear layer and a thinner layer of photoreceptor processes.
This study sheds light on use of the 0.05% atropine, which has been reported to be effective against myopia progression in some but not all studies.
Elegrobart was generally well tolerated in both dose groups with low rates of hearing impairment.
Caution is advised by doctors and aviation safety experts.
Michael Raizman, MD, and colleagues evaluated the efficacy and safety of epithelium-on oxygen-enriched corneal CXL in a sub-group analysis of 30 eyes of 22 pediatric patients aged 13 to 17 years.
Meta-analysis finds refraction change better than axial length thresholds for tracking childhood myopia, urging growth-curve AL monitoring to flag retinal risk.
Currently, about 39 cases have been reported.
This scenario emphasizes the need to gain an understanding of the role of hearing impairment in vision rehabilitation outcomes, particularly as they relate to functional independence.
Vision rehabilitation includes training patients in the use of adaptive technologies, such as magnifiers or screen readers, and nonvisual techniques to facilitate the patients’ ability to complete daily tasks.
Improved guidance on preservatives and allergens needed to ensure safety.
Metformin, a common diabetes medication, may be associated with less development of intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
In recent months, developments have ranged from regulatory setbacks to real-world data releases.
The goal of the study was to investigate the natural history of macular tissue preservation in GA by evaluating the relationship between the MTII and BCVA over time.
