For children with anisometropic amblyogenic refractive errors, laser refractive surgery may offer a safe treatment option with equal or better outcomes than standard amblyopia therapies.

As phantom vision (PV) can have profound effects on patients, investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for PV following eye removal.

The PreserFlo MicroShunt is being studied for use in children, the global burden of cataract continues to rise, and verteporfin has potential against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Investigators studied 20-year trends in Medicare reimbursement rates for common glaucoma procedures.

The pandemic has negatively impacted ophthalmology research, AMD rates are rising in the United States, combined ophthalmologist–rheumatologist visits help patients with uveitis, and Case Western Reserve University has received a large NEI grant for neural eye research.

This study described treatment patterns of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and measured retreatment and complication rates.

A multicenter cohort study investigated whether the proteomic signature of a patient with noninfectious uveitis can predict the need for systemic immunomodulatory therapy.

AI–aided retinal imaging improves vascular disease screening, poor sleepers have higher risk of glaucoma, risk factors are identified for uveitis in JIA, and tips are available on how to predict postsurgical outcomes in patients with diabetes.

In a phase 2 study, 0.03 mg and 0.06 mg of varenicline for patients with dry eye showed statistically significant improvements in tear film production, through a mode of nasal drug delivery.

Improved visual acuity and high patient satisfaction are reported after phacoemulsification cataract surgery with an IC-8 IOL placed in one eye to improve depth of focus.

Investigators compared the outcomes of immediate treatment of low-risk small choroidal melanocytic tumors versus treatment after further tumor growth was observed and found no higher risk of metastasis in the observation-first cases.

Eye bank technicians measured endothelial cell density to evaluate possible anomalies in measurements. Heat maps revealed a discontinuity at and above 2500 cells/mm2.

In a cohort study, children with idiopathic chronic anterior uveitis (iCAU) diagnosed at a younger age were more likely to have long-term ocular complications than those diagnosed at an older age.

Investigators evaluated the prevalence and clinical presentation of ophthalmologic abnormalities in children with brain tumors.

This week in the news, retinal photographs may help predict Alzheimer's disease, cataract surgery might not require anesthesia, and ophthalmology residents don't always feel comfortable taking parental leave.

While infantile conjunctivitis can affect up to 10% of children in the first year of life, vision-threatening infections are very uncommon.

This week in the news, the FDA approves a first-in-class treatment for lowering IOP, post-lockdown intravitreal injection challenges remain, and air pollution worsens the risk of acute glaucoma.

A systematic literature review and a meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate possible links between uveitis and having anxiety and/or depression.

Three-dimensional (3D)–printed custom frames for children are usually based on head images, but a new technology that uses 3D surface imaging captured via smartphone may have more widespread applications.

A case series of West African crystalline maculopathy (WACM) was analyzed to better understand the condition’s etiology, clinical and genetic features, and potential preventive and intervention strategies.

This study provides data that support outer retinal disruption (ORD) as an early manifestation in early-onset birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR), as seen on ocular imaging.

Eighteen retinoblastoma centers in 13 countries enrolled 1841 patients with advanced intraocular retinoblastoma of categories cT2 and cT3. Risk of metastatic mortality increased with increasing cT subcategory.

This study attempted to correlate predictive factors and visual outcomes following retinal detachment repair for proliferative vitreoretinopathy undergoing retinectomy.

A prospective randomized study of patients with uncontrolled glaucoma after tube shunt placement evaluated the difference in outcomes between placement of a second tube shunt and transscleral cyclophotocoagulation.

Knowing which clinical features indicate high risk for metastases could help determine treatment approach: globe preservation or enucleation.
