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…

Nature Medicine - A biomimetic culture system is developed by reverse engineering to replicate key features of the human ocular surface at cellular, tissue and organ levels, and is used as an in...

Abstract Aims Dynamic retinal vessel analysis is a novel, non‐invasive method to assess microvascular function. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether retinal microcirculation is ...

Abstract Purpose This study evaluated the association between performance on visual information processing tests and academic performance in school children. Methods Visual‐motor integration (VMI),...

To determine the added predictive ability of genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in refraction prediction in children and i…
