The event highlighted research aiming to enhance the detection of eye diseases using AI and maps of the retina, alongside emerging science addressing macular degeneration, glaucoma, myopia and more. The post USC Roski Eye Institute marks golden anniversary with forward-looking symposium appeared first on USC .

ObjectivesThis meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of botulinum toxin (BTX) injection versus surgery for acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE).MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China Biomedical Sinomed, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies comparing BTX and surgery in AACE. The primary outcome was motor success rate, and secondary outcomes included …

A treatment designed to strengthen a structurally weak cornea was not expected to become an antimicrobial therapy. Yet that is precisely the path that led to PACK-CXL.

A University of Minnesota Medical School research team has been awarded a 4-year, $2.2 million grant from the National Eye Institute to better understand the underlying causes of retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and develop new treatments that could benefit patients.

BackgroundAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a severe eye disease that affects the macula, the central area of the retina. Current treatment consists of intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors. However, some patients remain refractory to treatment even after maximal anti-VEGF dosage. We longitudinally analyzed angiogenic and inflammatory biomarkers i…

Modern eye surgery has become one of the safest medical procedures available today. Millions of people undergo cataract surgery and other eye operations every year and recover successfully with improved vision. Advances in surgical techniques, sterile equipment, medications, and training have dramatically reduced the risk of complications. For most patients, eye surgery is routine and […] The pos…

Revolutionary devices, age rewinding, and cell regeneration: scientists are finding multiple promising approaches for curing blindness, and even for stopping vision loss before it starts.

Trial results will help inform policymakers in the UK, say researchers Low concentration atropine eye drops are a safe and effective treatment for  short-sightedness (myopia) in UK children, although the effects are small, suggests a clinical trial published by The BMJ today. The researchers say the drops led to small but significant reductions in myopia progression compared with ...

Low concentration atropine eye drops are a safe and effective treatment for short-sightedness (myopia) in UK children, although the effects are small, suggests a clinical trial published by The BMJ today.

Off-label practice is often needed in ophthalmology, due to the limited number of drugs approved to treat several ocular diseases and to manage challenging ocular surgeries. The aim was to analyze the off-label drug prescriptions issued from January 2014 to December 2024 at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital of Catania (Italy). 233 off-label prescriptions, comprising 13 dr…

IntroductionTo evaluate the efficacy of a novel eye drop formulation containing hyaluronic acid (0.2%) and butyroyl-glutathione (GSHC4, 0.4%) in glaucoma-associated ocular surface disease (G-OSD), and to explore putative mechanisms of action through in vitro assays of corneal epithelial wound healing and cytokine modulation under basal, inflammatory, and oxidative stress conditions.MethodsIn this…

For many people living with diabetes, vision problems are among the most feared complications of the disease. Diabetes can damage the eyes slowly over many years, often without causing obvious symptoms at first. By the time vision changes become noticeable, significant and sometimes irreversible damage may already have occurred. Researchers around the world have been […] The post Scientists Disco…
