The latest clinical breakthroughs, practice management updates, and national advocacy alerts directly from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
To explore the visual acuity and anatomic outcomes over 24 months of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) who showed a delayed anatomic response after 3 ranibizumab injections in the RIDE and RISE trials.
To report the incidence of acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after cataract surgery from 2005 to 2014 in France.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommendations on screening for chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy are revised in light of new information about the prevalence of toxicity, risk factors, fundus distribution, and effectiveness of screening tools.
Choroideremia is a rare retinal dystrophy (OMIM #303100; prevalence 1/50 000) with progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, choriocapillaris, and concomitant loss of photoreceptors. As development of therapies highlights the need for fine markers in this disease, we have investigated a large patient series by examining the cone density and progression of the atrophy in the central islet through adaptive optics and retinal autofluorescence, respectively.
Cataract is a common cause of avoidable blindness in children globally. Gender differences in service access among children are reported for several conditions, but not for surgery for bilateral cataract. In this review we compared the proportion of children undergoing surgery for bilateral, nontraumatic cataract who were girls, using data from high-income, gender-neutral countries as the reference.
To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) features of peripheral retinal findings using an ultra-widefield (UWF) steering technique to image the retinal periphery.
