Corneal Hysteresis May Provide Another Metric for Prediction of Glaucoma Progression
Researchers suggest corneal hysteresis may be predictive of glaucomatous vision loss.
Vision Loss
Monocular Eye Closure May Be Underreported by Patients with Epiretinal Membrane
Patients with ERM often close one eye to improve vision, but it can reduce quality of life scores.
No Binocular Reading Advantage for Patients with Central Vision Loss
Researchers evaluate whether patients with central vision loss experience binocular advantage or disadvantage when reading.
Study: Lapses in Intraocular Injections Can Lead to Irreversible Acuity Loss
Researchers found that, while patients who have a lapse in anti-VEGF injections can regain central subfield thickness after missing 12 months of visits, losses to visual acuity are permanent.
Research Shows Risk of High Myopia Increases with Younger Onset
A 16-year investigation shows that those who develop myopia at ages 7 or 8 have a 50% greater risk of high myopia in adulthood, and that the risk decreases with increasing myopia age.
Slight Macular Changes Not Linked to Vision Loss
Researchers have identified structural changes to the macula that are not associated with functional visual changes in some patients.
FDA: Risk of Methanol Toxicity With Certain Hand Sanitizers
Hand sanitizers containing methanol, or wood alcohol, present a danger to individuals as the substance can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or life-threatening if ingested.
Worse Multisensory Function May Accelerate Cognitive Aging
Faster rates of cognitive decline were seen in association with each point worse in the multisensory function score.
Additional 10-2 Visual Field Testing Only Prudent in High-Risk Patients
Researchers conclude that 24-2 Humphrey Field Analyzer testing is sufficient to diagnose progression in most cases of open-angle glaucoma, and that 10-2 visual field testing is best reserved for patients at the highest risk of glaucoma progression.
