Unhealthy lifestyles have been associated with increased odds for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Whether this association is modified by genetic risk for AMD is unknown and was investigated.

To identify the frequency of human papilloma virus (HPV) in ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and to evaluate differences in clinical features and treatment response of tumors with positive versus negative HPV results.

To investigate the relationship between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and future development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or senile dementia.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe visual impairment. Despite treatment, a central scotoma often remains. The size of the scotoma depends on the lesion size of the choroidal neovascular membrane and significantly affects the patient's quality of life, and the lesion size of neovascularization also affects response to treatments. The aim of this study was to identify genes associated with the neovascular lesion size in neovascular AMD.

The effectiveness of annual eye examinations in diabetic children is unclear. We sought to determine the prevalence and onset of ocular pathology in children with diabetes mellitus (DM), identify risk factors for ocular disease, and recommend a screening regimen for asymptomatic children.

Medical training with manikin-based simulation technology enables students to fine-tune their skills without compromising the safety of patients.1 An Ophthalmic Anesthesia Simulation System (OASiS; Fig 1) has been developed for learning, practicing, and improving the skills for administering ophthalmic regional blocks.2,3 The OASiS consists of a manikin having anatomically accurate orbital and ocular structures with an integrated sensing system to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback to the trainee on the block performed.
