Mark Pennesi, MD, PhD, reports during ARVO 2021 that preliminary results have shown that AGTC-401 and AGTC-402 seem safe and well tolerated in patients with ACHM.

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.

Theodore Leng, MD, discusses the highlights from his presentation on "AAO IRIS Registry Data Replicates VIEW 1 and VIEW 2 Clinical Trial Outcome Data," during the virtual 2021 ARVO meeting.

Michael Mbagwu, MD, speaks on the highlights of his virtual 2021 ARVO presentation regarding the development of an algorithm tool that links patient imaging to their clinical data, specifically within the AAO IRIS Registry.

Daniel 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.

Clinicians' knowledge of the epidemiology, natural history, causal mechanisms, and treatments for diabetic retinopathy (DR) has evolved dramatically over recent decades.

EYS809, a non-viral gene therapy sustained drug-delivery product that delivers anti-vascular endothelial growth factor to the eye, may replace the need for repeated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and improve vision in patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.

Logan Vander Woude, DO, MPH, examines research on improved resolution of symptomatic vitreomacular traction as an attempt to further refine the potential factors predictive of better outcomes.

Glenn 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.

Robyn Guymer, PhD, MBBS, highlights the latest trial results for faricimab, the first bispecific antibody designed for intraocular use in treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Sunil Srivastava, MD, examines why and how optical coherence tomography characteristics may be predictive of the efficacy of the injections.

Bryce Buchowicz, MD, outlines roadblocks to timely diagnosis of central retinal artery occlusion and treatment with tissue plasminogen activator during a virtual presentation at ARVO.

Logan Vander Woude, DO, MPH, takes a deeper dive into symptomatic vitreomacular traction research in an attempt to further refine the potential factors predictive of better outcomes.

Investigators offer insight on how patients with BRVO or CRVO with any lapse in treatment of 3 months or longer are at risk for poorer outcomes.

Steffen E. Künzel, MD, discusses the key points of his research presentation regarding low vulnerability of the posterior eye segment to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Uwe Oberheide, MD, discusses the key findings of his virtual ARVO 2021 presentation on modeling of IOLs for patients with AMD by ray-tracing.

John Wells, MD, presents efficacy, durability, and safety findings from phase 3 YOSEMITE and RHINE trials during the virtual ARVO meeting.
