Investigators outline relationship between dry eye disease and high myopia in teenagers
May 2nd 2022In a poster presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s 2022 annual meeting in Denver, Osama Ibrahim Hirayama, MD, and colleagues offered results that demonstrating that anisometropia and astigmatic error were greater among the patients with high myopia compared with the other groups. Compared with the subjects with no myopia, those with high myopia reported significantly more dryness, less photophobia, and less pain.
Chronic IOP elevation impacts cerebrovascular reactivity in murine visual cortex/basal forebrain
May 1st 2022Investigators 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.
Short period of intensive outdoor activity results in increased choroidal/central corneal thickness
May 1st 2022In a poster presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s 2022 annual meeting in Denver, Mamoru Ogawa, MD, noted that investigators have found that the choroidal and central corneal thicknesses increased over a very short period of time following intensive outdoor activity.
Gene therapy prompts foveal morphologic changes in LCA
May 10th 2021Friederike Kortuem, MD, MSc, discusses how 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.
Measuring visual fields with a cloud-based AI platform
May 7th 2021Mohamed Abou Shousha, MD, PhD, and Richard Parrish II, MD, discuss their ARVO 2021 presentation regarding a study analyzing visual field measurements using the Heru Visual Field Multi-platform application downloaded on two different commercially available augmented reality devices.
Clinical results study dexamethasone implant effect on macular thickness
May 5th 2021Daniel F. Kiernan, MD, discusses key findings of a clinical study analyzing the effect of dexamethasone intracameral drug-delivery suspension on macular thickness based on OCT testing following vitreoretinal surgery.
Targeting neurodegenerative diseases with risuteganib
May 3rd 2021Glenn J. Jaffe, MD, discusses the key points of his virtual presentation on targeting neurodegenerative diseases with risuteganib, minimizing damage to the retina when compromised, and the need for newer treatment therapies to target different pathways.
