A significant proportion of real-world diabetic macular edema patients are excluded from clinical trials of anti-VEGF therapy due to stringent systemic criteria, disproportionately affecting racial minorities. This study highlights the need
This review synthesizes evidence linking cumulative atopic diseases—including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis—to keratoconus risk, highlighting a dose-dependent association and the role of healthcare utilization in case asc
Central obesity in women and high overall body fat in men are linked to increased odds of dry eye disease, with distinct metabolic pathways implicated, based on a retrospective analysis of over 480,000 UK Biobank participants.
This review synthesizes recent evidence on event-based progression detection in glaucoma, highlighting that OCTA vessel density may identify progression earlier than structural OCT or visual field testing, with important implications for cl
This review synthesizes longitudinal evidence on 3D eye shape remodeling in high myopia, linking distinct morphologic trajectories to sight-threatening outcomes and supporting individualized risk stratification beyond axial length alone.
This review synthesizes evidence from the TEASE-1 trial and related studies on gildeuretinol acetate, highlighting its safety profile and modest efficacy in slowing retinal atrophic lesion growth in Stargardt disease over 24 months.
A large-scale PubMed analysis reveals that one in five ophthalmology studies report null primary outcomes, with declining prevalence over time and notable differences in funding, design, and journal impact between null and positive studies.
Increasing neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation is associated with reduced adherence to annual diabetic retinopathy screening among Medicare patients, highlighting disparities in preventive eye care.
A 10-year Korean cohort study reveals that retinal arteriosclerosis, intraocular pressure, age, serum uric acid, and cholesterol levels significantly increase the risk of structural glaucoma conversion.
Virtual reality-based digital defocus vision training (DDVT) shows promise as a home-based adjunct to slow myopia progression in children, with randomized trial data demonstrating modest reductions in axial length and refractive error progr
This study compares HOTV and tumbling E vision tests in children aged 3 to 15, demonstrating HOTV’s superior accuracy and suitability for children under 8, potentially reducing unnecessary referrals in pediatric vision screening.
This study reveals psychosocial factors such as social support and self-efficacy significantly influence psychological distress in primary open-angle glaucoma, beyond clinical disease measures.
A stress test measuring intraocular pressure identifies glaucoma patients at risk of rapid progression despite normal office pressure readings, offering complementary prognostic insights beyond routine checks.
This paired-eye randomized study evaluates the aesthetic results of intradermal versus continuous external sutures in upper blepharoplasty, revealing similar long-term scar quality and high patient satisfaction.
This study evaluates long-term outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in controlling intraocular pressure and preventing visual field deterioration, identifying clinical factors influencing effectiveness and progression risk.
This study reveals that central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in patients with immune-mediated disorders exhibits distinct clinical and imaging features, with immune-mediated status linked to poorer visual outcomes and higher recurrence,
This study evaluates teprotumumab’s effectiveness for thyroid eye disease in Japanese patients, revealing notable improvements in orbital inflammation and proptosis compared to intravenous glucocorticoid therapy with distinct MRI-base
This study examines the increased use of AI-associated writing vocabulary in ophthalmology articles, revealing faster adoption by non-native English authors without changes in publication frequency or journal quality.
This study elucidates distinct temporal patterns of posterior segment imaging features in ocular syphilis correlated with symptom duration and laboratory markers, enhancing diagnostic timing and clinical interpretation.
Ophthalmic herpes infections generally do not increase overall malignancy risk, but herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) elevates cancer risk in patients with immune dysregulation, underscoring the need for tailored oncologic vigilance.
