Data highlights need for educational materials and training resources in DMO and DR.

12-week interim results of BEHOLD, a proof-of-concept Phase 2a study investigating the candidate UBX1325, provides a positive outlook for a novel senolytic approach for previously-treated patients with diabetic macular oedema.

Eyecare specialists benefit from being able to monitor their patients long term for optimised and personalised treatment regimens, as well as having access to a more efficient workflow and one which enables them to see more patients.

According to Dr Gregor S. Reiter, the results from the multicentre Phase 3 clinical trial demonstrated that fluid volumes in patients with nAMD can be precisely identified, localised and measured in real-time using artificial intelligence.

Automated quantitative fluid analyses are enabling personalised treatments, better patient outcomes.

A synopsis of the findings presented at EURETINA 2022 for ophthalmologists and retina specialists.

The white noise and classical music listened to by the preterm infants during ROP examinations showed positive effects on pain and heart rate and oxygen saturation values.

At the 1-month evaluation, the full-field stimulus threshold had median decrease of -33.2 decibels (dB) (-33.7; -19.8) dB, which remained stable until the last assessment. Visual fields and visual acuity did not change significantly.

Investigators advised that clinicians should be aware of this spectrum of retinal involvement after COVID-19 infections and emphasized the importance of a fundus evaluation.

The investigators explained that elevated angle-closure-related intraocular pressure may aggregate the visual impairment in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
