Visual Loss in Geographic Atrophy

1403-09-24 in /by

This study analyzed data from the lampalizumab phase 3 trials and an observational study to examine factors affecting visual loss in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration. The researchers assessed correlations between baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), GA lesion area, growth rate, foveal involvement, and focality with changes in BCVA over […]

AMD and Ultra-Wide Field Imaging

1403-09-24 in /by

This longitudinal study used ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging to examine peripheral retinal abnormalities in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) over 5 years. The study included 265 eyes from 137 participants in the OPERA ancillary study of AREDS2. UWF color and autofluorescence images were taken at years 5 and 10 and graded for macular and peripheral AMD features […]

Pupillometry and COVID

1403-09-24 in /by

This study evaluated the use of virtual reality-based infrared pupillometry (VIP) to detect long COVID. It was a prospective, case-control cross-sectional study involving 185 participants aged 20-60 recruited from a community eye screening program. Pupillary light responses (PLR) were recorded using a virtual reality head-mounted display in response to 3 light intensities. Nine PLR waveform […]

https://doi.org/10.1097/iae.0000000000003909 This retrospective cohort study evaluated the risk of retinal redetachment in women after vaginal delivery versus cesarean delivery. The researchers analyzed 967 women diagnosed with retinal detachment (RD) who later gave birth at a tertiary medical center, with 66 patients meeting inclusion criteria. The mean age at RD diagnosis was 22.64 years for the […]

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Age-related Macular Degeneration

1403-09-24 in /by

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ophtha.2024.12.005 This study investigated the potential protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using both a prospective cohort study and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. The cohort study included 258,350 AMD-free individuals of European descent from the UK Biobank, with plasma omega-3 and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) measurements. Over a 12.9-year follow-up, 5,068 […]
