This study compares contact lens-associated and non-contact lens-associated fungal keratitis, highlighting earlier presentation and better medical therapy outcomes in contact lens users versus a more complicated course in non-users.
This study compares retinopathy of prematurity severity in US and Indian infants using an AI-derived vascular severity score, revealing epidemiological and pathophysiological differences that could impact diagnosis and management globally.
This study evaluates the financial feasibility and efficiency of common outpatient ophthalmic surgeries at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) relative to Medicare reimbursement in 2025 and beyond.
A large-scale phenotypic screen of 9,139 knockout mouse lines identified 18 candidate genes linked to retinal and hearing abnormalities, offering promising new targets for understanding and diagnosing Usher syndrome.
This study highlights the superiority of the Holladay 1 formula combined with Wang-Koch axial length adjustment in predicting refractive outcomes in eyes with axial length ≥30 mm, introducing the AL-to-corneal radius ratio as a novel strati
Higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores correlate with worse 1-year visual acuity outcomes in macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, highlighting the impact of systemic health on ocular prognosis.
Lower systemic blood pressure, especially minimum values measured over 24 hours, is associated with accelerated retinal nerve fiber layer loss in primary open-angle glaucoma, highlighting the prognostic value of ambulatory BP monitoring.
This nationwide study examines visual and anatomical responses to anti-VEGF retreatment in diabetic macular edema patients who returned with stabilized vision after being lost to follow-up, highlighting suboptimal gains and implications for
This study demonstrates that prior soft-tissue augmentation using autogenous grafts before flapless implant placement significantly enhances peri-implant tissue dimensions compared to simultaneous augmentation or collagen substitutes, under
A multicenter study demonstrates that interpretable machine learning applied to baseline OCT biomarkers accurately predicts chronicity in central serous chorioretinopathy, facilitating early risk stratification and personalized management.
A 40-year retrospective study of 569 patients with ocular metastases reveals persistently poor survival, dominated by breast and lung primaries, with vision often preserved through treatment despite no significant survival improvements over
This study validates the prognostic accuracy of the 15-gene expression profiling (15-GEP) and PRAME assay in uveal melanoma patients irrespective of confirmatory cytopathology, supporting its use in clinical management when cytopathology is
Corrective lens spending affects nearly 20% of the US population, with half paying fully out-of-pocket, highlighting substantial financial burdens and access barriers. Evidence from clinical trials and epidemiologic studies underscores cost
This study reports durable tumor control and meaningful visual preservation up to 20 years after 103Pd plaque brachytherapy for choroidal melanoma, providing valuable long-term data for clinical decision-making.
A multisociety task force finds routine high-level disinfection (HLD) of reusable ophthalmic devices unnecessary in most clinics, recommends targeted HLD only for higher-risk encounters, and urges alignment of regulations with evidence.
A multi-center RCT assessing the adjunctive use of the Paro-ComPas app in periodontal care found no significant overall benefit, though moderate app engagement showed potential for improved plaque control.
More than one-third of Hispanic/Latino adults with diabetes exhibit diabetic retinopathy (DR), with significant variability across backgrounds. Hypertension notably associates with DR and vision-threatening DR, highlighting the need for tar
A thorough secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial reveals no significant association between cornea donor diabetes severity and graft success, endothelial cell loss, or morphometric parameters at 1 year post-DMEK, supporting the
CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer is linked to increased corneal epithelial alterations, including punctate epitheliopathy and vortex keratopathy, independent of aromatase inhibitor effects or tear film dys
Mitomycin C applied via injection or sponge during trabeculectomy offers comparable intraocular pressure control and safety, with injection potentially yielding more favorable bleb morphology and fewer postoperative interventions.
