Younger age appears to contribute significantly to poor treatment response to low-concentration atropine at 0.05%, 0.025%, and 0.01%, a study has found.
Corneal confocal microscopy can detect small nerve fibre loss in both clinical and subclinical cases of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), reports a recent meta-analysis.
Older adults with vision impairment are at higher risk of both dementia and cognitive impairment, according to a study.
The use of transparent and cosmetic contact lenses (CL) yields comparable rates of ophthalmic adverse events, a recent study has found. Moreover, such complications are preventable through CL use behaviours.
Patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are at heightened risk of heart failure, with the risk increase seen in both nonexudative and exudative AMD subgroups, a study has found.
Patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) show higher variability in blood pressure (BP), suggesting that such variability may be a novel risk factor for CSCR, a recent study has found.
Visual impairment, particularly if non-correctable, seems to increase the risk of long-term mortality, a recent study has found.
Prescription glasses fall short of preventing the development of amblyopia or strabismus in children with moderate bilateral astigmatism, a study has found.
Singapore researchers have developed a novel polygenic risk score (PRS) patterned specifically after Chinese children, improving its predictive performance for future high myopia (HM) in this population.
Intensive statin therapy may be more beneficial than standard dosing for patients with severe diabetic retinopathy, a recent study has found. In the overall population of DR patients, standard and intensive statin therapies have comparable impacts.
