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.

Primary angle closure disease tied to older age, elevated IOP, shallow anterior chamber

29 Mar 2022

Primary angle-closure disease in Singapore has a 6-year incidence rate of 3.5 percent, with risk factors including older age, higher intraocular pressure (IOP) levels, and shallower anterior chamber, a study has found. On the other hand, late posterior subcapsular cataract appears to be protective.

Low BP ups risk of open-angle glaucoma

19 Mar 2022

Low levels of blood pressure (BP) appear to elevate the risk of developing open-angle glaucoma (OAG), reveals a recent US study. In addition, there is no evidence supporting a differential effect of medically treated and untreated low BP.
