Mark Packer, MD, shares his perspective on the relationship between ICL implantation or LASIK and retinal detachment.

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

A team of investigators at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan have identified a gene necessary for the survival of retinal ganglion cells—a class of neurons located in the retina that are critical for vision.

Lower doses vs higher ones are equally effective for treating disease

Investigators find that fusing human retinal cells with adult stem cells could be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat retinal damage and visual impairment.

Investigators have questioned the potential for the vascular density to be a biomarker for microvascular abnormalities following COVID-19 and found that longitudinal studies are needed to determine this.

According to the company, VVN001 demonstrated clinical and statistical superiority over vehicle in reducing total and sub-regional corneal fluorescein staining scores.

Investigators observe survival rate with orbital retinoblastoma improves substantially due to a combination approach that includes intensive sequential treatment comprised of chemotherapy, enucleation, and external beam radiation therapy.
