No two corneal ulcers are alike, but if they are large and centrally located, the common denominator is that time is of the essence
Methods using a combination of non-invasive thermal treatments and meibomian gland expression seem to be particularly effective.
A new amblyopia screening system that can be used on Android devices has performed better than some of the ‘gold standard’ stereotests in recent Hungarian studies.
An interdisciplinary team at Duke University has developed a proof-of-concept machine learning model capable of detecting symptomatic Alzheimer disease using multimodal retinal imaging data.
A one-piece, hydrophobic, monofocal IOL uses the small-aperture concept to provide a good alternative to the toric IOLs currently available.
A cost-utility analysis found that concurrent phacoemulsification and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery using trabecular microbypass stents is cost-effective for treating mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma, compared with cataract surgery alone.
One of AI’s most promising applications: new diagnostic algorithms
An interdisciplinary team at Duke University has developed a proof-of-concept machine learning model capable of detecting symptomatic Alzheimer disease using multimodal retinal imaging data.
Although off-label repackaged bevacizumab syringes appear to satisfy an urgent clinical and financial need for patients with a variety of retinal disorders, they are known to be associated with considerable public health concerns due to the risks posed to patients from compounding pharmacies’ lack of compliance with a variety of FDA requirements.
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.
Giving due consideration to preoperative marking and the surgical technique in toric IOL implantation, as well as being diligent about reviewing postoperative results, can improve patient outcomes whilst minimising the chance of errors.
The threshold limit value is increased for virus and bacterial eradication.
The procedure facilitates an independent life, better care and fewer costs.
Customised myopic LASIK using automated ray tracing optimisation has the potential to offer improved and more predictable outcomes, a study shows.
In the 30 years since optical coherence tomography was first described, it has become one of the most widely used technologies for imaging the human eye.
In a real-world study of patients with treatment-naïve and previously treated diabetic macular oedema, injection of intravitreal dexamethasone 0.7-mg implant provided effective disease control with initial and repeat injections, regardless of reinjection interval.
Dr Jennifer Lim presents two case studies demonstrating the application of the personalized treatment interval algorithm from the YOSEMITE and RHINE clinical trials for faricimab in DME.
