This new QLS-111 and latanoprost fixed-dose combination (QLS-111-FDC; Qlaris) is in development for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and normal-tension glaucoma in patients whose optimal intraocular pressure control may remain “unachievable” due to needing to lower episcleral venous pressure.

The study was an outgrowth of the phase 1 and 2 Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS).

Mitch Ibach, OD, FAAO, details a presentation he gave with Tanner Ferguson, MD, at the Collaborative Care Symposium 2025.

The investigators described the CASIA2 (Tomey Corporation) instrument, which is a new AS-OCT device with a swept-source laser wavelength of 1310 nm that can scan at a speed of 50,000 A-scan/second.

NCX 470, Nicox’s lead clinical product candidate, is a novel NO-donating bimatoprost eye drop with a dual mechanism of action (nitric oxide and prostaglandin analogue).

Knowing the truths concerning patient adherence and history and visual field tests can make a difference in care quality.

The first-in-class endothelin antagonist intravitreal implant aided in increasing ocular blood flow and improved both visual function and anatomic structure, according to the company.

The trial assesses GAL-101 as an oral therapy designed to treat Alzheimer disease, dry age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

Hammond and his team focused on creating a reliable conversion factor between 2 widely used optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems—the TopCon Maestro2 and the ZEISS Cirrus 5000. Their work specifically looked at ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurements, which are critical markers in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.

Results from the first-in-human study of SpyGlass Pharma's bimatoprost-eluting IOL showed significant reduction in IOP and improved best-corrected distance visual acuity.

STAR-GLOBAL is an extension trial of the initial EU clinical trials investigating the long term safety and efficacy of MINIject in patients with up to 5 years of follow up.

Dana Shannon, OD, FAAO, shares pearls on spotting red flags in need of referral and enhancing patient care with follow-up compliance.

The starry faculty has a galaxy of symposia planned for May 4, 2025.

A survey collected demographic data, ocular and medical history, and responses assessing knowledge of glaucoma and cataracts in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia.

Dana Shannon, OD, FAAO, detailed a lecture she gave at the NOA Midwestern Symposium earlier this month.
