Study: AO retinal imaging has the potential to become a sensitive marker for disease.

A modified illuminated endolaser could be an efficient substitute for cryotherapy or indirect laser retinopexy during primary scleral buckling.

If approved, RVO would be the third indication for Vabysmo in addition to wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.

A team of researchers has now developed an approach to gather and compile a great deal of information about organoids and their development. The team applied its approach to the organoids of the human retina, which they derived from stem cells.

Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRD are genetic disorders that can cause severe vision loss or even blindness.

According to researchers, these chronic, progressive retinal diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa, arise from genetic and environmental disruptions of cellular and tissue stability.

Scientists at Medical College of Georgia demonstrated in their animal model of retinopathy of prematurity that the small molecule K604, which is being explored in cancer and Alzheimer’s, can block the development of leaky, obstructive blood vessels in the retina, tamp down inflammation and enable more normal blood vessel growth

According to the company, TSN-201 leverages AAV capsid that spreads laterally beyond subretinal injection site to facilitate safe delivery of RS1 to photoreceptors in the central retina/fovea.

The UCL-Moorfields team have developed a deep learning AI model to screen for ROP, which was trained on a sample of 7,414 images of the eyes of 1,370 newborns who had been admitted to the Homerton Hospital, London, and assessed for ROP by ophthalmologists.

In a presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting in New Orleans, Kiora Pharmaceuticals showed its investigational drug has the potential to restore light perception in patients who are blind or living with ultra-low vision due to retinitis pigmentosa.

Post-hoc analyses from four Phase III studies indicate Vabysmo dried retinal fluid faster with fewer injections in wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.

Hydrogen water intake improved retinal blood flow (RBF) dysregulation in response to flicker stimulation and systemic hyperoxia in type 2 diabetic mice.

Japanese investigators have found an ocular biomarker of cardiovascular diseases.

AVA-Net is a deep-learning network developed by scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Reducing treatment burden, finding something other than a shot a month is key.

During a presentation at the Vit-Buckle Society meeting in Las Vegas, Sally S. Ong, MD, highlighted a new study of patients who underwent primary repair of uncomplicated RRDs at the Wilmer Eye Institute to examine the baseline, surgical and postoperative characteristics that affect best-corrected VA outcomes.

As technology advances, innovations increase physician capabilities.

A large cohort study found that there is no association between the first mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations and acute RVO.

Daraius Shroff, MD, developed the Triple S toolkit for hAM grafting for use during vitreoretinal surgery, which he described at the 2023 Vit-Buckle Annual Society meeting.

Patients and employees, past and present, have had personal and protected health information acquired without authorization.

According to National Eye Institute researchers, the variants generate malformed proteins that alter the stability of the membrane attack complex, which may drive a chronic inflammatory response in the retina.

By crossing into the retina, investigators have uncovered a new DHA supplement achieves what previous ones could not.

Retinal redetachment can occur frequently in eyes that underwent repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) after infectious endophthalmitis.

According to National Eye Institute researchers, the strategy may speed the delivery of therapeutic options relative to time it would take to develop gene therapies.

According to the company, clinically meaningful visual acuity gains were observed in several MCO-010 treated patients. The trial also demonstrated a favorable safety profile for MCO-010 with no serious or severe adverse events.

Researchers at Buck Institute, working with Google Health and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, are studying the eye as a window into human aging.

According to researchers at UCLA, “dormant” cone photoreceptors might continue to drive retinal activity for vision.

Learning more about the early AD stages, when brain damage is limited, should allow early and more efficacious treatment, and improvements in imaging may be able to pick up changes earlier.

According to researchers, diabetes mellitus is caused by higher levels of blood glucose due to the lack of production of insulin by the body, resistance to insulin, or both.
