Click image to enlarge Systemic high blood pressure has well-documented negative effects on the delicate vascular structures of the adult eye,…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (133+ words) “Incorporating anemia of prematurity into ROP risk stratification may help identify vulnerable infants who warrant closer ophthalmologic surveillance beyond current screening criteria,” the study authors suggested in their paper. The persistence of significant associations in infants born at Because the…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (385+ words) Review of Optometry Research has previously identified an increased prevalence of ocular disease among patients with metabolic, cardiovascular and kidney disorders Because these conditions often occur together and share common vascular, metabolic, renal and inflammatory mechanisms, the American Heart Association…...

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…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (206+ words) According to the results, 68 eyes had ≥mild NPDR, and 40 eyes had no DR/minimal NPDR. Among those with at least mild DR, 55.9% were classified as mild NPDR, 38.2% as moderate NPDR, 4.4% as severe NPDR, 1.5% as PDR and 14.7% of eyes had co-existing…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (280+ words) Review of Optometry This study’s results support a hypothesis in which the faster total area growth rates for fovea-sparing eyes are mainly caused by a concentric outside expansion component of the GA lesion in relation to the foveal center…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (309+ words) Review of Optometry ROP treatment and intraventricular hemorrhage coexist among the most vulnerable preterms Both low vision that hinders binocularity and ocular motor disturbances due to brain damage justify the high rates of strabismus Click image to enlarge Extreme premature…...
