A new study published in Archives of Ophthalmology suggests that daily eye drops can significantly reduce the development of primary open-angle glaucoma in African Americans by nearly 50%. The study recommends periodic eye exams starting at age 40 for high-risk individuals.
Women with premature ovarian failure experience higher rates of dry eye due to ocular surface damage, not reduced tear production. Sex hormones play a multifaceted role in maintaining healthy moisture on the eye's surface.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting explored approaches to preventing, treating, and living with macular degeneration. Researchers presented updates on the effect of vitamin and mineral supplementation, surgical approaches, anti-VEGF drugs like Macugen, and visual rehabilitation.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is honoring Dr. Demorest, Dr. Scott, and Dr. Stambaugh for their significant contributions to ophthalmology. They are recognized for their clinical, educational, and research achievements, as well as their leadership positions in the field.
A case report suggests Munchausen syndrome by proxy may be responsible for unexplained medical conditions in infants, with symptoms including bleeding, seizures, and rash. The condition can be difficult to diagnose due to the perpetrator's cooperative nature, but experts emphasize its potential lethality.
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Hospital have successfully treated four pediatric patients with retinoblastoma using a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem-cell transplantation. The study shows promising results, with two out of four patients surviving for over six years without disease recurrence.
A team of researchers used a computer model to simulate the impact of airbag deployment on pilots wearing night-vision goggles. The study found that minimal distance between the eyes and goggles increased stress on orbital bones, while a protective lens reduced impact force but increased surrounding bone pressure.
Researchers found that model mice with pigment dispersion glaucoma had abnormal immune responses in their eyes, which preceded disease onset. The study suggests that loss of immune privilege may trigger the development of glaucoma.
Tiger's eye was previously thought to be an example of pseudomorphism, but researchers have found that the stone's shimmering appearance is actually caused by the presence of crocidolite fibers. The discovery challenges a long-held theory on the formation of tiger's eye and provides new insights into its structure.
Researchers found that treating people with early-stage glaucoma immediately can delay disease progression and slow vision loss. The study followed 255 patients with early stage glaucoma in at least one eye, finding that treatment led to a slower rate of disease progression.
Researchers found that patients with pre-existing dry eye were more likely to experience severe dry eye after LASIK surgery. The study suggests that proper ocular surface management can help mitigate this risk, but patients with dry eye should be warned about potential persistent symptoms.
Nearly a third of surveyed glaucoma patients reported difficulties with taking multiple medications, citing missed dosing and inadequate waiting periods. Physicians advocate for more patient education and convenient treatments to improve compliance and vision outcomes.
A study found XALACOM to be more effective than Cosopt in reducing intraocular pressure by 1.00 mmHg, with fewer reported eye pain and irritation. XALACOM was also well-tolerated systemically, with no taste disturbances reported.
A total of 825 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension showed significant improvements in intraocular pressure after switching to XALATAN. The study found that 83% of patients experienced a reduction in IOP due to inadequate control, and 90% of those who switched due to adverse events maintained IOP control.
A five-year study demonstrated Xalatan's efficacy in managing open-angle glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) sustainably. The treatment was well-tolerated, controlling IOP without surgery in 72% of patients.
Researchers have found that treating inflammation in the trochlea tendon can relieve headache pain associated with migraines. In a study of five women with trochleitis, steroid injections produced relief from ocular pain and associated migraine symptoms within 48 to 72 hours.
Astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory discovered a complex shape of the Cat's Eye Nebula, which is driven by hot gas. The team also found an unexpected X-ray source at the central star, sparking questions about its formation.
The skeleton previously identified as King Philip II has been proven to be one of Alexander's half-brothers, specifically Philip III Arrhidaeus. Researchers used macrophotography and forensic analysis to rule out the original theory, citing normal anatomical features and incorrect reconstruction that led to the mistaken identity.
