Intravitreal injection of 2% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) dispersive viscoelastic (Eyefill HD; Bausch+Lomb) improved vision and restored ocular anatomy in eyes with structural hypotony that had visual potential.
Danon disease is a rare, multisystem X-linked genetic disorder caused by variants in the LAMP2 gene. In children and young adults, it is defined overwhelmingly by its cardiac effects .

PRIMA, the first brain-computer interface approved for form vision restoration (reading letters, numbers, words) in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration, is commercially available in Europe.
Inflammasome Therapeutics announced positive phase 2 results achieved by kamuvudine-8 (K8), its investigational drug, for geographic atrophy (GA) and a good safety signal over the 6-month period of evaluation.

Rare retinal diseases initially were the primary targets of gene therapy, but that is no longer the case.

During the first half of 2026, that trend was evident.
Rising star in Ophthalmology, Nicholas Riina, MS, focuses on artificial intelligence and uses robotics training to enhance glaucoma diagnosis.

A new survey has discovered a gap between the value parents place on children's vision and the comprehensive eye care that teens and young adults receive.
The FDA issued a nationwide recall of a steroid eye drop.
