Prosthetic capsular bag shows potential in scleral fixation of IOL in eyes with no capsular support

06 Aug 2026

Researchers have developed a prosthetic capsular bag (PCB) for posterior scleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes without capsular support, with a recent study demonstrating its viability.

Older age, ocular hypertension predict glaucoma in eyes with PXF syndrome

06 Aug 2026

Perimetric glaucoma may develop in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) with or without ocular hypertension (OHTN), suggests a recent study. Factors such as older age, OHTN, higher cup-to-disc ratio (CDR), and phakia are associated with incident glaucoma.

AI-OCT for DME secondary screening cuts false-positive referrals by 45 percent

03 Aug 2026 by

An AI-based optical coherence tomography (AI-OCT) system for add-on secondary screening of diabetic macula oedema (DME) reduces false-positive DME referrals by 45 percent vs standard screening by fundus photography alone, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Hong Kong has shown.

GLP-1RAs up risk for ischaemic optic neuropathy in T2D patients

23 Jul 2026

The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) results in an increased risk for ischaemic optic neuropathy (ION) at 18 months when compared with the use of sodium‒glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is), reports a study.
