Disease progression is likely to occur in glaucoma suspect eyes with higher corneal stiffness parameters (SPs) and lower central corneal thickness (CCT), which are indicative of thin and stiff corneas, a recent study has found.
Isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to deterioration in comorbidities and mental health, according to two studies presented at the European Society of Endocrinology virtual conference (e-ECE 2021).
Ocular endoscopy yields significant vision improvement when used to manage ocular trauma and allows immediate prognostication, a recent study has found. This could lead to the early identification of patients with poor visual prognosis.
Adolescents spend about 4 hours per day on their smartphones, and episodes of 20 minutes continuous use appear to lead to more myopic refractive errors, especially among those with low outdoor exposure, a study reports.
Infants requiring rescue treatment for retinopathy of prematurity seem to be at higher risk of refractive errors and see a greater need for glasses by 2 years of age, a recent study has found.
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.
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.
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.
The increasing use of social media and online reviews has made it easier for patients to comment publicly—on Facebook and Google reviews, for instance—on the care they receive. Positive comments are heartening for any healthcare professional to read.
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.
