The retrospective real-world evaluation of the drug considered several important as-yet-unanswered questions

The mapping method revealed prominent microscopic abnormalities consistent with diabetic retinopathy.

Low birth weight, blood transfusion, necrotising enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and antenatal steroid and surfactant therapies are among the factors that affect the development of ROP.

Investigators put forth a list of considerations for surgeons ahead of lens removal in pediatric patients

Authors pointed out that understanding this link may aid with genetic counseling or surveillance of affected individuals, potentially contributing to improved management and outcomes.

The high-level analysis found that 82% of TEPEZZA-treated patients in the follow-up did not report needing any additional TED treatment for nearly 2 years.

Investigators undertook a secondary analysis of the effects of long-term, low-dose aspirin in over 3,000 older adults who satisfied the inclusion criteria in the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly–AMD (ASPREE-AMD) study.

All patients included in the study had been referred to Ocular Oncology Service of the Federal University of São Paulo with the suspicion of ocular metastasis.

The first case was reported in Texas in a dairy worker in March, while an Australian child with a different strain than the current one in the US was confirmed as well in May.

The hypothesis is based on a post hoc analysis of data from 2 phase 3 clinical trials of pegcetacoplan by Dun Jack Fu, PhD, and colleagues.

Alternate methods of screening may lead to earlier diagnosis of disease.

Simply slowing disease progression is no longer enough.

Organization eyes green practices, shifting ophthalmology landscape.

Red light has been receiving increased attention as a potential candidate to combat myopia. The daily use of 650-nm low-level red light for 1 year slowed the progression of spherical equivalent error and axial length without safety concerns.

Noha A. Sherif, MD, and Sandra Hoyek, MD, conducted a retrospective chart review to identify the clinical characteristics of the injured eyes that may be associated with visual recovery in this patient population.

The angled bow-tie pattern of astigmatism was corrected more accurately compared with the asymmetric bow-tie pattern of astigmatism

A singular celebration of science over the decades

An analysis showed an association between patients who previously had undergone intravitreal injections and cataract surgery and a higher risk of the development of a non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, retinal tear, and glaucoma surgery.

Voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna, Spark Therapeutics, Inc.) was shown to be safe and effective in real-world settings.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant, fully-penetrant, neurodegenerative disease that most commonly affects adults during middle age.

Tylectomy indicates surgical resection of retinoblastomas via pars plana vitrectomy with intraoperative chemotherapy infusion.

Investigators recruited children with CVI and normal controls who were between the ages of 12 months and 12 years. The children with CVI underwent a complete pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic examination.

In this investigation, the second stage of the CHAMP phase 3 trial assessed the impact of prolonging drug administration for an extra 12 months on myopia control and the occurrence of myopia rebound upon cessation of dosing.

With the progression of MS, thinning of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) complex is seen as well as a decrease in the amplitude of the pattern electroretinogram (pERG)

Researchers found the model demonstrated “near-perfect” detection capabilities.

The system is comprised of 25 miniaturized wireless stimulators with 400 electrodes that are implanted permanently.

Shift could lead to changes in the current management of retinal diseases
