Drainage of suprachoroidal haemorrhage effective even without vitrectomy

08 Jul 2021

While suprachoroidal haemorrhage is a condition known for having generally poor prognoses, SCH drainage, with or without accompanying vitrectomy, seems to help improve outcomes, a recent study has found.

Half-dose PDT outperforms eplerenone in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy

08 Jul 2021

In the treatment of patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy, half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) appears to have superior short-term safety and efficacy compared with eplerenone, according to preliminary data from SPECTRA.

Botox injections help correct ocular alignment in individuals with strabismus

29 Jun 2021

Administering extraocular muscle injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) to individuals with nonparalytic, nonrestrictive horizontal strabismus yields a high rate of successful motor alignment similar to that achieved with eye muscle surgery, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Exclusive surgical focus does not affect safety of cataract surgery

24 Jun 2021

Surgeons’ exclusive surgical focus appears to have no impact on the safety of cataract surgery as opposed to moderate levels of surgical diversification, a study has found. However, the risk of cataract surgical adverse events is greater among surgeons dedicated mainly to noncataract operations.

Modest alcohol intake reduces risk of undergoing cataract surgery

22 Jun 2021 by

Low to moderate alcohol consumption may lower the likelihood of incident cataract that requires surgery, suggests a recent study of two large UK cohorts. Furthermore, this relationship is most evident for the consumption of polyphenol-rich wine.

Phacoemulsification-KDB combo safely lessens IOP in open-angle glaucoma

22 Jun 2021

The combination of phacoemulsification and ab interno trabeculectomy using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) can help safely reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with moderate to advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG), a recent study has found.

Macular pigment optical density linked to visual function

12 Jun 2021

In healthy eyes, macular pigment optical density (MPOD) correlates with parameters of visual function such as photostress recovery, contrast sensitivity (CS), and glare disability, a recent meta-analysis has found.

Povidone-iodine eye drops work against adenoviral conjunctivitis

11 Jun 2021

A single, in-office administration of 5% povidone-iodine (PVP-I) proves useful in the treatment of patients with adenoviral conjunctivitis, reducing viral load and rapidly improving clinical signs and symptoms, according to the results of a pilot trial.

UV-filtering intraocular lenses provide slight sleep benefit

07 Jun 2021

Ultraviolet-filtering (UVF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) seem to have a more beneficial effect on sleep than blue-light-filtering (BF) IOLs, a recent meta-analysis has found. Nevertheless, evidence for this effect remains weak; further studies are needed before strong recommendations can be made.
