The research points to the importance of isolating offending organism.

According to Sarah Van Tassel, MD, physicians may need to recognize issues and treat patients more holistically.

APOE4 gene associated with Alzheimer’s disease risk was found to protect mice from glaucoma. Research team also prevented retinal ganglion cell death by blocking the APOE signaling pathway, pointing to a potential treatment strategy for glaucoma.

A team of investigators has found that myopic refractive error is linked with an increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, and they indicate that the connection has a genetic foundation.

According to the company, a study shows the non-implantable minimally invasive glaucoma surgery effectively reduces IOP and reduces need for IOP-lowering medications in patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers, as little as $65 per year appears to influence practitioners, making them up to twice as likely to prescribe the companies’ brand name eyedrops for glaucoma instead of cheaper generic versions.

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.

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

The doctors will join the Cataract and Primary Eye Care, Glaucoma, and Retina Services.

Bausch + Lomb has made an equity investment in Sanoculis and has entered into an exclusive European distribution agreement for MIMS minimally invasive surgical procedure.

Mount Sinai study could lead to earlier and increased screening for this population to prevent blindness.

Janet B. Serle, MD, discusses the pros and cons of various treatment options.

A novel eye drop under development may provide neuroprotection to the retinal ganglion cells.

Researchers at the University of Strathclyde have developed an affordable device which takes 3D images and could shift the landscape of eye screening and treatment around the world.

The program — entitled “Pumping Adrenaline!” — brings viewers myriad challenging cases, intraoperative complications, and complex problems following cataract surgery.

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center has received an unrestricted grant from Research to Prevent Blindness for $575,000 over 5 years to support eye research conducted by the Department of Ophthalmology.

A minimally invasive glaucoma surgery specialist discusses impressions and key take away points from patient case and how minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has changed the landscape of open angle glaucoma.

Ehsan Sadri, MD, FACS, reviews the case of a 58-year-old male with open angle glaucoma utilizing minimally invasive glaucoma surgery procedure.

The lower energy applications and slower sweep speeds offer marked IOP reductions in patients.

A team of investigators from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore has found that there is a bidirectional association between chronic kidney disease and glaucoma.

The research from eye care nonprofit Orbis International focuses on diabetic retinopathy in Rwanda, where associated vision complications from diabetes are growing.

The research is the result of a national collaboration led by investigators from the Centre for Eye Research Australia at the University of Melbourne and University of Tasmania and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
