Does cataract surgery raise the risk of developing late AMD?

14 Apr 2022

A recent study has found that cataract surgery does not contribute to a higher risk of developing late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) participants with up to 10 years of follow-up.

Eye layers thinner in nondiabetic CKD patients

12 Apr 2022

Patients with nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (NDCKD) have significantly lower centre subfield, average macular, and average ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses, a recent study has found. All quadrants for the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer, except for its temporal quadrant, were all likewise thinner in NDCKD patients.

IPad-based noise-field perimeter can detect glaucomatous visual field loss

10 Apr 2022

The visual field fast, a free iPad-based noise-field perimeter, can reliably and accurately detect glaucomatous scotomas, a recent study has found. Its performance for localizing and detecting such lesions, however, could still be improved further.

Laser treatment for severe ROP may lead to severe myopia

08 Apr 2022

In the treatment of patients with severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), laser appears to increase the trend to severe myopia, according to a study. Meanwhile, intravitreal bevacizumab does not affect myopic progression and reduces the need to consequently undergo laser treatment.

Continued anti-VEGF use after disease control does not prevent nAMD recurrence

06 Apr 2022

In patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who achieve functional and morphological disease stability, continuing treatment with antivascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF) does not substantially reduce the risk of recurrence, reports a recent study.

Topical difluprednate for uveitis carries risk of IOP elevation

06 Apr 2022

Elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) occur commonly in uveitis patients who are receiving treatment with topical difluprednate, a study has found. This IOP elevation risk is pronounced among children and adult patients with concurrent systemic corticosteroids.

Do sleep patterns contribute to myopia in schoolchildren?

30 Mar 2022 by

Sleep hygiene and duration do not appear to affect the prevalence of myopia among school-aged children, according to a recent Singapore study. Sleep variables are also unrelated to other eye measurements.
