Nonproliferative may progress to proliferative DR after cataract surgery

14 Jul 2025

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) who undergo modern cataract surgery tend to progress to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) within a year after the procedure, reveals a recent study.

Is cannabis protective against proliferative vitreoretinopathy after retinal detachment repair?

07 Jul 2025

Cannabis users who underwent initial repair for retinal detachment (RD) appear to be at lower risk of developing proliferative vitreoretinopathy and, in turn, requiring subsequent complex RD repair when compared with their nonuser peers, according to a retrospective study.

A turning point in nAMD treatment with high-dose aflibercept formulation

24 Jun 2025 by

Increasing experience among ophthalmologists and patients attests to the durable efficacy and safety of the 8 mg formulation of the anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF), aflibercept, in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). At an industrysponsored meeting, Dr Kenneth Fan of the Retina Consultants of Texas in Houston, Texas, US, reaffirmed the benefits of high-dose aflibercept in nAMD, highlighting how the positive experiences of his patients align with results of the pivotal PULSAR trial.
