An inflammation-based view of both ophthalmic and neurologic health
At the 2024 ARVO meeting, Andrew D. Pucker, OD, PhD, presented a paper on measuring meibomian gland morphology
Reviewing visual and anatomic outcomes in 2 clinical trials
A recent prospective study analysed the relationship between corneo-scleral geometry and the axial length of the eye to develop preliminary prediction models of the axial length of the eye based on clinical data.
Dr Grazia Pertile discusses the highlights of her presentations on the management of retinal folds after retinal detachment and the role of the anterior vitreous as a cause of recurrent retinal detachment.
OCT methods are invaluable in the assessment of patients with the condition
Increasing understanding of the genetics behind Usher syndrome suggests that treatment may become possible in the very near future.
Study found that YAG laser vitreolysis was less invasive than pars plana vitrectomy for patients with vitreous opacities.
Orbis advances cataract surgery training in low-resource areas with technology
Photobiomodulation has been demonstrated to improve quality of vision in several patients suffering from dry AMD.
Many low- and middle-income countries lack resources for managing eye health. A pilot project aims to reduce the number of people going blind from untreated glaucoma by raising awareness and increasing engagement with screening and follow-up.
A small study demonstrates that high-resolution imaging with adaptive optics may be a useful method of assessing integrity of the cone mosaic following macular hole repair.
Innovative therapies scale up to meet needs of a growing patient population
Developing technology may offer marked improvements in surgical precision
The child's changes in vision began at school and worsened over the next day to the point where he could see only outlines and shapes of objects.
Experience at one ophthalmic practice in Bulgaria demonstrates that new operating procedures, technologies and good management can enable clinics to remain open and operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ophthalmic training and education should continue to be a priority.
Closing out his discussion on the port delivery system in retinal diseases, Chirag Jhaveri, MD, considers how this approach has impacted the treatment landscape.
A recently developed tool can help ophthalmologists to assess the quality of findings from real-world studies in retinal diseases. This will help them decide which results are most robust and applicable to their practice.

Examining the anatomy and physiology may prevent ineffective stent implantation.
Surgeon discusses latest trends for treating cornea
Restoration and regeneration represent a new paradigm
Why “acceleration” is the industry keyword for 2024
Long-term treatment helps chronic, vision-threatening disease.
The investigators found that the corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in the amblyopic eye improved significantly in all patients regardless of age
A UK health data research hub containing vast numbers of fundus and OCT images opens the door to improved screening and diagnoses of eye diseases and even ‘oculomic’ services for systemic health.
A recently developed tool can help ophthalmologists to assess the quality of findings from real-world studies in retinal diseases. This will help them decide which results are most robust and applicable to their practice.
