Foundation Fighting Blindness is a driving force in advancing retinal gene therapies into clinical trials.
Diabetes mellitus, which is a common chronic disease in children, can lead to significant eye morbidities with long-lasting effects, including diabetic retinopathy. Treatment should be tailored to the individual patient.
Landmark randomised controlled trials have advanced the understanding and treatment of glaucoma.
Increasing understanding of the genetics behind Usher syndrome suggests that treatment may become possible in the very near future.
A global survey of retinal experts assessed their perceptions of evolving clinical practice in the Covid-19 era, focusing on digital teleophthalmology, home monitoring and decentralised patient care.

Look for fluctuating vision, test objectively and keep a few effective tools at your disposal to treat OSD.
A longitudinal, AI-based approach to fluid quantification
A greater understanding of lens embryology and the phenotype/genotype correlation of cataracts should help guide future therapeutic approaches.
The implantable lenses can offer an advantage over laser surgery
Topography-guided PRK, with or without the addition of corneal crosslinking, can improve visual acuity and quality in patients with keratoconus.
Newly developed acrylic implant provides option for patients with endothelial dysfunction.
Clinicians and surgeons should be aware of the misleading use of the EDOF concept. The authors herein propose an alternative terminology and that lenses which have combined optical designs are referred to as ‘hybrid IOLs’.
Determining the medication’s safety and efficacy for paediatric patients
To date, the suprachoroidal space has not been a feasible route to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma. A new device promises to change that.
Two randomised controlled trials, EMGT and UKGTS, have examined the factors affecting the risk of glaucoma progression. Global target IOPs are not the best option for all patients.
