Retinal fluid volume variations during anti-VEGF maintenance therapy tied to worse VA

06 Nov 2021

Among patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), fluctuations in retinal fluid volume during the maintenance phase antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy may lead to long-term deterioration in visual acuity (VA), a recent study has found.

Excision of ocular surface neoplasia with 2-mm margins yields low recurrence rates

06 Nov 2021

Excision of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with a 2-mm margin does not lead to high rates of positive surgical margins, a recent study has found. For patients who do show positive margins, adjuvant topical therapy is enough to prevent recurrence.
