The first case was reported in Texas in a dairy worker in March, while an Australian child with a different strain than the current one in the US was confirmed as well in May.

The hypothesis is based on a post hoc analysis of data from 2 phase 3 clinical trials of pegcetacoplan by Dun Jack Fu, PhD, and colleagues.

Alternate methods of screening may lead to earlier diagnosis of disease.

Simply slowing disease progression is no longer enough.

Organization eyes green practices, shifting ophthalmology landscape.

Red light has been receiving increased attention as a potential candidate to combat myopia. The daily use of 650-nm low-level red light for 1 year slowed the progression of spherical equivalent error and axial length without safety concerns.

Noha A. Sherif, MD, and Sandra Hoyek, MD, conducted a retrospective chart review to identify the clinical characteristics of the injured eyes that may be associated with visual recovery in this patient population.

The angled bow-tie pattern of astigmatism was corrected more accurately compared with the asymmetric bow-tie pattern of astigmatism

A singular celebration of science over the decades

An analysis showed an association between patients who previously had undergone intravitreal injections and cataract surgery and a higher risk of the development of a non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, retinal tear, and glaucoma surgery.

Voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna, Spark Therapeutics, Inc.) was shown to be safe and effective in real-world settings.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant, fully-penetrant, neurodegenerative disease that most commonly affects adults during middle age.

Tylectomy indicates surgical resection of retinoblastomas via pars plana vitrectomy with intraoperative chemotherapy infusion.

Investigators recruited children with CVI and normal controls who were between the ages of 12 months and 12 years. The children with CVI underwent a complete pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic examination.

The investigators conducted a retrospective chart review of patients’ demographic and clinical data from 2005 to 2020.

In this investigation, the second stage of the CHAMP phase 3 trial assessed the impact of prolonging drug administration for an extra 12 months on myopia control and the occurrence of myopia rebound upon cessation of dosing.

With the progression of MS, thinning of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) complex is seen as well as a decrease in the amplitude of the pattern electroretinogram (pERG)

Researchers found the model demonstrated “near-perfect” detection capabilities.

The system is comprised of 25 miniaturized wireless stimulators with 400 electrodes that are implanted permanently.

Shift could lead to changes in the current management of retinal diseases

Analysis showed that patients with dry eye had “worse sleep quality than the healthy population."

David Eichenbaum, MD, discusses his experiences with aflibercept, faricimab.

The switch may produce an additional 25% IOP reduction in mild to moderate forms of disease

Authors explained that Nfe2l gene family members -1, -2, and -3 mediate the cellular response to oxidative stress, including in the CNS

Results of the study indicated that systemic treatment led to elevations in liver function test results, with some patients experiencing values twice as high as normal.

Contrary to the traditional understanding that this disorder remains stable, long-term structural changes were observed through spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging.

Investigators wanted to determine why patients who have retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can undergo cataract surgeries without experiencing a worsening of their retinal disease, while some patients do.

Researchers conducted a retrospective chart review spanning from January 2015 to January 2021 to compare the incidence rates of infectious keratitis before and during the pandemic among PRK patients.
