Increasing age, higher IOP tied to primary angle-closure disease in Asians
The incidence of primary angle-closure disease (PACD) in a multi-ethnic Asian population is 3.50 percent over 6 years, a study has shown. Increasing age, higher intraocular pressure (IOP), and shallower anterior chamber contribute to the increased risk of incident PACT, while late posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) is associated with a lower likelihood of developing PACD.
Netarsudil use for glaucoma may cause punctal stenosis
Use of topical netarsudil 0.02% for the treatment of glaucoma results in the development of reversible punctal stenosis, a recent study has found. This inflammation-mediated stenosis can cause tearing and related symptoms and may lead to treatment discontinuation with sufficient severity.
Lutein/zeaxanthin an appropriate substitute for beta carotene in AREDS2
Supplementation with lutein/zeaxanthin instead of beta carotene is safe and does not contribute to an increase in lung cancer risk while having a potential beneficial effect on the risk of progression to late age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to data from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) study.
Treatment outcomes for nAMD, DMO, RVO poorer in clinical practice than in trials
In clinical practice, patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular oedema (DMO), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) see treatment outcomes that are inferior to those reported in pivotal phase 3 studies, according to a recent study.
