Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, Jawad Muayad, MD, and Neil Bressler, MD, discuss a US cohort study indicating that patients who had documented nicotinamide use showed lower rates of glaucoma diagnosis, topical therapy, and laser intervention. 🎧 Listen now: ja.ma/4f4EBkQ
After refractive surgery, 18% of patients experienced prolonged ocular pain at 3 or 6 months, with higher risk seen after photorefractive keratectomy and in patients with preoperative chronic pain or greater ocular symptom burden. ja.ma/4yhUInT
Systemic #Nicotinamide supplementation in patients with #OcularHypertension was associated with a lower risk of developing primary open-angle #Glaucoma and delayed need for medical or surgical intervention. ja.ma/4fqmbwa
#Amblyopia is the leading cause of monocular vision loss in children, and early detection & treatment are crucial for the best outcomes. This Special Communication introduces an evidence-derived, web-based amblyopia decision support tool. ja.ma/4b8OJaU
In a patient with classic #Aniridia and negative conventional genetic testing, OGM and lrWGS revealed a small intrachromosomal translocation separating #PAX6 from its regulatory region, resulting in gene haploinsufficiency. ja.ma/4f1fOPJ
For #GeographicAtrophy clinical trials incorporating run-in phases in randomized clinical trials or single-arm designs can improve trial efficiency and decrease sample sizes, exploiting the inherent stability of atrophy enlargement rates. ja.ma/4waCKC5
In a large UK Biobank study, genetic risk scores for #IntraocularPressure were more accurate in older individuals, but accounting for genotype × age interactions did not improve predictive accuracy. ja.ma/4w3UXkH
Following copayment assistance defunding, nAMD patients who switched to bevacizumab had similar 6-month vision & retinal thickness outcomes as those continuing prior therapy, but required shorter injection intervals and faced increased out-of-pocket costs. ja.ma/4uMdQHG
In proliferative #diabetic #retinopathy, brolucizumab was more effective than panretinal laser photocoagulation for preserving visual acuity at 54 weeks and associated with fewer ocular adverse events but increased intraocular inflammation. ja.ma/3SfRDUY
Among #astronauts and bed rest participants, repeat #spaceflight or head-down tilt bed rest did not increase the magnitude of optic disc edema or brain ventricular expansion, with similar structural changes observed after first and second exposures. ja.ma/4xIpeHm

A routine eye scan used in the NICU may help predict developmental delays in very preterm infants, according to new Duke Health research in @jamaophthalmology.bsky.social. The retina may offer a non-invasive “window into the brain”, helping identify risk earlier. More: https://duke.is/c/rw6a

Among three leading ophthalmology journals between mid-2024 and late 2025, STROBE guideline adherence was high for core reporting items but suboptimal for missing data, participant flow, and generalizability in ophthalmology observational studies. ja.ma/43C1hDK
Among three leading ophthalmology journals between mid-2024 and late 2025, STROBE guideline adherence was high for core reporting items but suboptimal for missing data, participant flow, and generalizability in recent ophthalmology observational studies. ja.ma/4dZGno4
📄 This case report discusses a diagnosis of central retinal artery occlusion with gradual reperfusion and improvement in the visual acuity after alprostadil treatment in a female patient aged 67 years. ja.ma/4eCllMs
Swept-source #OCTA biomarkers, including choriocapillaris flow deficit and vessel skeleton density, distinguished normal cognition, MCI, and #AlzheimerDisease dementia, suggesting potential for noninvasive cognitive screening. ja.ma/43sRa48

Among patients with #diabetes in both SEED and UK Biobank cohorts, metformin use was not associated with reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration compared to other antidiabetic medication or no antidiabetic medication. ja.ma/4fum6rQ

Bedside optical coherence tomography imaging at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age in very preterm infants indicated RNFL thickness predicts motor and cognitive outcomes and lowers autism risk at age 2 years. ja.ma/4ocz6Vx
A smartphone-based #AI application enabled population-level self-screening for ocular surface malignancies, achieving specialist-level diagnostic accuracy and identifying rare tumors without enucleation. ja.ma/4x9lEpm
In preterm infants undergoing retinopathy of prematurity screening, noncontact handheld optical coherence tomography caused less behavioral and physiological stress and fewer adverse events than contact fundus photography. ja.ma/4uLdKkv
Six cases of postoperative fungal #Endophthalmitis after #CataractSurgery were linked to Sarocladium kiliense contamination in off-label trypan blue solution, emphasizing the need for sterilization and infection control. ja.ma/4aa31rl
No strong or consistent association was identified between reticular pseudodrusen and #CardiovascularDisease events or mortality in separate analyses from the #AREDS and #AREDS2 clinical trials. ja.ma/4uG4xtq
