Differences in pupil sizes distinguish between active and resolved COVID-19 cases
January 24th 2022The investigators believe that, based on their findings, the impact of COVID-19 on the autonomous nervous system warrants further prospective studies and assessment of pupillary function might be a useful test for determining autonomic dysfunction.
Macrophage-mediated cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 infection in diabetic patients
November 5th 2021A team of investigators from the University of Michigan may have unlocked a potential new recipe for counteracting the impact that COVID-19 has on patients with underlying disease processes such as type 2 diabetes.
Universal masking may lower risk of endophthalmitis after intravitreal anti-VEGF injections
October 10th 2021During the ASRS Annual Scientific Meeting, Dr Sunir Garg reported that the risk of presumed infectious endophthalmitis following administration of anti-VEGF injections does not increase and universal masking may actually decrease the risk of culture-positive endophthalmitis.
The relationship between MIGS procedures and endophthalmitis
October 10th 2021At the ASRS 39th Annual Scientific Meeting, Dr Yoshihiro Yonekawa reported that the prevalence of endophthalmitis following MIGS is similar to the prevalence rates of endophthalmitis after other incisional glaucoma surgeries.
Autoimmune uveitis targeted by AAV gene therapy
September 8th 2021Investigators have found that 1 intravitreal injection of an adeno-associated virus encoding an immunosuppressive transgene, either HLA-G or eqIL-10, reduced the clinical and histologic inflammation in a well-established model of autoimmune uveitis.
Considering antibiotics use in postoperative endophthalmitis
June 1st 2021Whilst endophthalmitis following cataract surgery can lead to serious vision outcomes, there are ways of minimising the risk of it occurring whilst also being mindful of the need to prescribe antibiotics in a way that does not worsen antimicrobial resistance.
Navigating COVID-19 with ophthalmic patients in the hospital setting
February 22nd 2021Experience 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.
COVID-19 presents opportunities for new directions in ophthalmology
November 13th 2020COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the entire global community. As we look to the future to advance the provision of eyecare excellence, opportunities for innovation must be embraced and new, patient-centric ways of managing clinical practices adopted.
Maintaining quality and safety in retina clinics during a pandemic
October 7th 2020To maintain treatment quality and patient and staff safety in the SARS-CoV-2 era, it is important to minimise clinic visits and maximise use of imaging modalities. In addition, extending treatment intervals with longer-acting agents is key to maximising safety and patients’ vision outcomes.
Endophthalmitis most often caused by Staphylococcus
April 17th 2014Endophthalmitis is most often caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, and the antibiotics vancomycin and ceftazidime seem to perform well in treating it. That was one of the findings of a 25-year retrospective study conducted by Dr Ronald C. Gentile, of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and his colleagues in New York City and San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Higher temperatures linked to severity of allergic conjunctivitis
March 14th 2014Temperatures measured by a newly developed non-contact ocular surface thermographer (OST) can be used to evaluate the efficacy of topical anti-allergic agents because of the significant correlation of the conjunctival surface temperature and the severity of conjunctival allergic reaction, according to recently published data.
Point of care tear film test simplifies dry eye management
October 1st 2009Diagnosing and managing dry eye patients can be challenging. Here Dr Philipp Steven looks at a new way of treating tear film osmolarity, the TearLab Osmolarity System, which he believes could dramatically simplify the process.
Clinical improvement in adenoviral conjunctivitis model
July 15th 2009Foresight Biotherapeutics, Inc. has announced data from a pre-clinical study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the topical administration of FST-100 in a highly regarded Ad5 NZW rabbit model of adenoviral conjunctivitis.
