A team of investigators from Pohang University of Science and Technology has found that conjunctival goblet cell examination is important for the precise diagnosis and effective treatment of ocular surface diseases; however, CGC examination has not been possible until now due to lack of non-invasive devices.

A multifaceted evaluation that includes ultra-widefield imaging can reveal new information and influence treatment decisions.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the procedure required adjustments.

Assessing cornea status can aid early recognition of disease-related changes

Researchers from the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Bonn and Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen suggest that assessments of the eye’s retina could help to detect a loss of brain substance, ie “brain atrophy.” The findings are based on data from the Rhineland Study.

Investigators identified that patients with moderate and severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia have decreased central retinal vascular density compared with patients who were asymptomatic/paucisymptomatic or control subjects.
