1+ week, 4+ day ago   (292+ words) Review of Optometry Choroideremia is an X-linked inherited retinal degeneration that causes progressive structural damage, often before central visual acuity declines, highlighting the need for sensitive imaging-based measures to track disease progression Using FAF, this study identified macular preserved autofluorescence…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (276+ words) Patients with the drusen-predominant form of neovascular AMD (nAMD) had worse long-term vision and more complete retinal pigment epithelial and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) than those with pachychoroid-caused disease, according to a six-year study published in BMC Ophthalmology. These findings…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (253+ words) Review of Optometry This study identified two distinct peripheral vascular phenotypes in retinitis pigmentosa: Type 1, or terminal remodeling, and Type 2, or simple atrophy The former type was associated with greater disease severity and worse visual function Click image to enlarge…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (346+ words) Review of Optometry In eyes with intermediate AMD, reticular pseudodrusen appears to be a strong predictor of progression on its own, conferring a more than threefold higher risk of late AMD However, an even higher risk was seen when this…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (551+ words) Review of Optometry It has been shown that vitamin D may influence age-related macular degeneration (AMD) pathogenesis through anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and anti-angiogenic effects. In a recent study, researchers aimed to investigate the association between seasonally adjusted vitamin D levels and…...
