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

In this cross-sectional study, investigators used OCTA to identify possible associations between body mass index and the waist-to-hip ratio with macular vessel density and foveal avascular zone in healthy Chinese adults.

Investigators conducted a longitudinal study of the relationship between smoking and smoking intensity and the rate with which the retinal nerve fiber layer becomes thinner in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

The investigators suggested that the predicted metastasis-free survival for metastatic tumors may be worse than what they and other research groups have observed.

The therapy may offer novel treatment strategy with unique mechanism, modality for patients diagnosed with dry age-related macular degeneration.

On this week's episode of the NeuroOp Guru, Andy Lee, MD, and Elizabeth Fortin, MD, compare the 1.5 Tesla magnet and the 3.0 Tesla magnet for MRI.

In an attempt to halt the progression of dry AMD and geographic atrophy, the use of high-resolution optical coherence tomography becomes pivotal.

This research team conducted a cross-sectional multicenter study to report the ocular fundus manifestations in infants with congenital ZIKV exposure in French Guiana, Martinique, and Guadeloupe, French West Indies.

The advanced swept-source OCT technology allows visualization of the variations in the normal changes and those associated with aging in the posterior vitreous.

Researchers at the University of Bonn are evaluating a new imaging technique for the diagnosis of posterior uveitis.

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

Tunde Peto, MD, PhD, shares some ophthalmic initiatives she's excited about in light of EURETINA 2022.

Tunde Peto, MD, PhD, discussed two of her presentations at EURETINA 2022: "UK Biobank retinal imaging grading: methodology, baseline characteristics and findings for common ocular diseases" and "Retinal phenotyping of different variants of Alzheimer’s disease using ultra-widefield imaging."

When paired with SD-OCT, the device also can be used to evaluate photoreceptors.

This affordable device allows the view through a slit lamp to be shared in real time or recorded, for teaching and reference purposes.

According to researchers, functional assessments and education are critical to an early diagnosis.

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna are focusing on how the retina can be used as a prognostic marker. Analyses revealed that retinal layer thinning as a result of an MS relapse predicts the severity of future relapses and the likelihood of disability.

Investigators concluded that patients who are cognitively healthy with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer disease may exhibit changes in retinal tissue that correlate with brain changes.

A multi-institutional effort led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania is taking steps to develop an effective technique to regenerate photoreceptors cells and restore sight in patients with vision disorders.

According to a new study from New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, a new, non-invasive ocular imaging method may be able to detect an early indicator of glaucoma in time to prevent disease progression and vision loss.

The discovery of molecular signatures of age-related macular degeneration will help with better diagnosis and treatment of this progressive eye disease.

Flavoprotein fluorescence could serve as a new biomarker, according to a Mount Sinai study.

While the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the potential of utilizing artificial intelligence in screening for diabetic retinopathy, improvements are still needed as a results of the number of images that are ungradable.

Gareth Lema, MD, PhD, discusses an innovative eye stroke program at Mount Sinai Health System that involves collaboration among ophthalmologists, the stroke service, and emergency department physicians.
