With the advent of new, more nuanced research about the various ways #DryEye symptoms develop, some are asking if it’s time to update the nomenclature. Read the full feature here: https://t.co/xOXCxk46cL #Optometry #DryEyeDisease #MedTwitter

Lenslet-ARray-Integrated (LARI) lenses with positive and negative power lenslets effectively slow myopic progression and axial elongation (AE) in children, according to new research in the journal Eye and Vision (London). Compared with the first year of wear, the control effect

Approximately 1 in 3 highly myopic eyes without preexisting retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy develop macular neovascularization (MNV)-related atrophy within 2 years of MNV onset, according to new research published in @RetinaJournal. The findings highlight the

The use of models to determine axial length parameters according to the age, sex, and race/ethnicity of myopic children may be beneficial in the future for research and clinically for judging the efficacy of treatments, according to the new data published in the journal Optometry

The use of #Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody, to treat atopic dermatitis (AD) may result in ocular surface disorders such as #Conjunctivitis, according to the new data published in the journal Eye & Contact Lens. Older individuals had a higher frequency of symptom onset and

#DryEye expert Cecelia Koetting, OD, reviews the TFOS DEWS III report’s findings on epidemiology, prevalence, risk factors, and burdens. See here: https://t.co/EhD8FD7oEo #Optometrist #EyeCareProfessionals #DoctorOfOptometry

A substantial proportion of patients with #PrimaryOpenAngleGlaucoma may experience a clinically significant myopic shift shortly after starting omidenepag isopropyl (OMDI) 0.002%, according to a new study published in @JOGJournal. In the study, more than 1 in 8 patients

Defocus soft contact lenses with a concentric bifocal design are an effective treatment for slowing myopic progression in patients with a small-angle intermittent exotropia (IXT), according to data published in the journal Eye & Contact Lens. The lenses can improve eye position

Machine learning models can predict the risk of hyperopic shift (HS) after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (PE+IOL) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), according to research published in @JOGJournal. Learn more here:

Children with albinism demonstrate faster and more efficient visual search performance than their peers with other visual impairments, despite having comparable levels of visual function, according to a study published in @OPTVISSCI. The findings suggest that nystagmus may

Clinical trials have shown that intravitreal injections can improve retinal anatomy in patients with geographic atrophy (GA), but not necessarily functional vision. According to research in @JAMAOphth, a patient’s confidence in the improvement of their functional vision is key

Head-worn and handheld visual assistance devices demonstrate similar efficacy for completing tasks, according to a study published in @OPTVISSCI. Learn more here: https://t.co/PUmlgmhvmF #LowVision #VisualAssistiveDevices #Optometry

Repeated red light therapy (RRLT) significantly reduces axial elongation and slows myopic progression spanning 2 years in children with premyopia, according to a randomized controlled study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. However, discontinuation of therapy

Aspheric orthokeratology lenses can reduce axial elongation by changing the power of the central cornea, according to research published in the journal Eye and Vision. Corneal topography shows an increase in the spherical power and asymmetry of the corneal with aspheric lens

Many studies have shown the efficacy of wearing defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) lenses to slow myopic progression; however, little was known about their effect on a child’s binocularity. According to the data published in the journal Clinical Optometry, wearing

Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diabetic retinopathy screening (DRS) integrated directly into primary care clinics may improve eye screening rates and follow-up care among medically underserved patients with diabetes, according to a new trial protocol published in

Individuals older than 65 years of age who have home care do not seek or attend eye examinations at recommended intervals, according to results of a cross-sectional study published in @OPTVISSCI. Read more here: https://t.co/uN2WGsVaXw #VisionCare #EyeExams #EyeHealth

Exciting updates from Vision By Design 2025! Stacy Zubkousky, OD, shares the latest breakthroughs in myopia management, from lifestyle factors to new FDA-approved specialty lenses. Watch video here: https://t.co/DdSYiuvsQP #VisionByDesign #VBD2025 #MyopiaManagement

Boys and children with parents who have myopia are more likely to develop myopia themselves, suggesting that they have an elevated need for myopia monitoring, according to data published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry. Read more here: https://t.co/ZNWSVbU1TD #Myopia

Breastfeeding is correlated with retinal thickening in preterm infants with #RetinopathyOfPrematurity, according to an investigation published in @ARVOiovs. Perinatal adverse events and maternal smoking were both associated with thinner retinas in the same patients. Learn

Patients with #Glaucoma experience earlier onset of #Presbyopia than those without the disease, according to research published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry. The findings suggest that glaucoma or its treatment may accelerate the progression of presbyopia. Read more
