Physically active children have healthier retinal vasculature

14 Dec 2024 by

The Hong Kong Children Eye Study in nearly 12,000 local children aged 6–8 years shows that increased physical activity is associated with healthier retinal microvasculature.

Diabetic retinopathy progression lower with empagliflozin vs DPP-4 inhibitor

13 Dec 2024 by

In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), treatment with empagliflozin has a null effect on the risk of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) compared with a DPP-4 inhibitor but may confer protection against DR progression, according to a study.

Baseline IOP predicts treatment response for SLT, PGA drops

11 Dec 2024 by

Primary treatment with either selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or prostaglandin analog (PGA) drops for ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma results in a decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP), and this benefit is greater with higher baseline IOP, a study has shown.

Patients with acute anterior uveitis prone to ipsilateral recurrence

12 Nov 2024

Recurrence in the ipsilateral eye is not uncommon in nearly half of patients with acute anterior uveitis (AAU), while one in four may experience recurrence in the contralateral eye, suggests a study.

Faricimab trumps aflibercept in diabetic macular edema

12 Nov 2024

Treatment with faricimab demonstrates similar visual acuity and greater retinal thickness reduction, with fewer injections, when compared with aflibercept therapy in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), reports a recent study.

Faricimab vs aflibercept for DME in BCVA 20/50 or worse: Reduced retinal thickness, fewer jabs

05 Nov 2024

In the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in the subgroup of patients with baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 or worse, the bispecific antibody faricimab has been shown to improve visual acuity as much as the anti-VEGF aflibercept, with the added advantage of a greater decrease in retinal thickness and reduced injection frequency.

3 cycles of chemo enough for high-risk retinoblastoma in children

04 Nov 2024 by

Shortening the postenucleation chemotherapy regimen containing carboplatin, etoposide, and vincristine (CEV) from six to three cycles results in comparable survival outcomes in paediatric patients with unilateral pathologic high-risk retinoblastoma, according to new research.

During pregnancy, high levels of maternal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) trajectories appear to contribute to refractive error, hypermetropia, and astigmatism in children at 6 years of age, reveals a recent study.
