Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common consequences of diabetes affecting more than 35% of patients. Endogenous protective factors could explain why only a fraction of patients with diabetes develop DR. In this study, Yokomizo et al . analyzed…

The ability of the human lens to accommodate is mediated by the ciliary muscle and zonule; the manifest optical power changes depend on the shape and …

Mucins are key actors in tear film quality and tear film stability. Alteration of membrane-bound mucin expression on corneal and conjunctival epitheli…

The human retina fails to regenerate and cell-based therapies offer options for treatment of blinding retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration a…

The cornea is a valuable tissue for studying peripheral sensory nerve structure and regeneration due to its avascularity, transparency, and dense inne…

Eye - An update on chemical eye burns

Myopia is a major cause of visual impairment. Its prevalence is growing steadily, especially in East Asia. Despite the immense disease and economic burden, there are currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for myopia. This review aims to…

Effect of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on intraocular pressure, refraction, anterior chamber depth, and macular thickness

This study assesses the validity of an automated diabetic retinopathy system compared with manual grading across 2 sites in India.

nce: 7.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.0–8.0 per eye; 12.7%; 95% CI: 11.7–13.7 per person). Higher prevalence of retinal hemorrhages was correlated (multivariate analysis) with higher systolic blood pressure (P < 0.001; odds ratio: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01–1.03)…

The review discusses the prospects of using rhodopsin as an optogenetic tool for prosthetics of degenerative (blind) eye retina and the principles of optogenetic techniques. Retinal-containing proteins that depolarize/hyperpolarize the plasma membrane of…

endoscope-assisted vitreous surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicated by Grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy were investigated. The peripheral vitreous was cut under air with the aid of endoscopic view (atmospheric endoscopic technique)…

Several new studies have shown that computers can outperform doctors in cancer screenings and disease diagnoses. What does that mean for newly trained radiologists and pathologists?

Bespoke ocular prostheses

Background/Aims To compensate the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for anatomical confounders.

Methods The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases is a population-based study, where…
