Chronic IOP elevation affects cerebrovascular reactivity in murine visual cortex, linked to widespread brain changes

Investigators from the New York University Grossman School of Medicine presented data at the ARVO 2022 annual meeting that concluded mapping of the relative cerebrovascular reactivity in the murine brain showed widespread brain changes resulting from the chronic IOP elevation and demonstrates vascular involvement in glaucoma both within and beyond the primary visual pathways.

Investigators from the New York University Grossman School of Medicine presented data at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s 2022 annual meeting in Denver that concluded mapping of the relative cerebrovascular reactivity in the murine brain showed widespread brain changes resulting from the chronic IOP elevation, and demonstrates vascular involvement in glaucoma both within and beyond the primary visual pathways.

In a presentation at ARVO, Friederike Kortuem, MD, MSc, explains that treatment with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl led to a short-term change in the foveal morphology in a patient with visual impairment that included nyctalopia and decreased visual acuity in early childhood.

Dr Christopher Starr discusses key points from his virtual ARVO 2021 presentation regarding dry eye disease flares, including a rapid readout assessment of 10 years' worth of world literature to analyze studies in which the inflammatory disease's condition are categorized.
