Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), cone photoreceptors (cones), horizontal cells and amacrine cells are the first classes of neurons produced in the retina. However, an important question is how this diversity of cell states is trannoscriptionally produced. Here…

Smartphone and tablet use in Australia and worldwide is reaching saturation levels and associated visual and ocular discomfort such as headaches, eyestrain, dry eyes and sore eyes are widespread. Thi...

Intravitreal dexamethasone implant as an alternative to systemic steroids as prophylaxis for uveitic cataract surgery: a randomized trial

Transfer learning from natural image datasets, particularly ImageNet, using standard large models and corresponding pretrained weights has become a de-facto method for deep learning applications...

Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements) in cases of congenital stationary night blindness arises from light-induced synchronization of oscillating retinal ganglion cells, revealing that some forms of nystagmus can have a retinal origin, rather than originating…

EPFL scientists have helped develop a microscopic glass device that doctors could use to inject medicine into retinal veins with unprecedented accuracy. Their instrument meets an important need in eye ...

Perception is utterly baffling. We can precisely describe the biological structure of eyes and brains. We can measure the electrochemical impulses and electrical fields generated by neurons. But reason ...

This randomized trial compares the effects of oral methotrexate, 25 mg weekly vs oral mycophenolate mofetil, 3 g daily, on measures of inflammation in patients with noninfectious uveitis.

Aims
Narrower retinal arterioles and wider retinal venules have been associated with macrovascular forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether they are predictive of the development of h...

Training for physicians has a new name and a new focus. Abi Rimmer looks at what’s changed and why

Earlier this month the first cohort of junior doctors entered internal medical training (IMT), which replaces core medical training (CMT). Abi Rimmer spoke…

Purpose
To correct peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) measurements performed with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) for low image quality factor (QF) in patients wit...
