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.

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.

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.

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.

Curcuma-based nutritional supplements have the potential to reduce the risk of incident age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or progression to later stages of AMD, according to a retrospective study.

Smoking appears to contribute to an increased prevalence of cataracts as well as a higher incidence of cataract surgery, according to a study.

A retrospective case series at a tertiary hospital in Singapore has shown that the cumulative surgical success rate after phacotrabeculectomy remains high at 89.1 percent even 13 years post-surgery, with success defined as IOP ≤21 mm Hg

Treatment with subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (TA) results in a reduced risk of postoperative macular edema (ME), particularly the 10-mg/ml high-dose (4 mg) group, reports a study. Additionally, the risk of glaucoma-related events is similar to that of topical groups.
