Incidence and epidemiology of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma in relation to the HIV epidemic in South Africa: a 25-year analysis of the National Cancer Registry (1994–2018) (see page 175) There have been considerable changes in conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma incidence rates over the course of the HIV epidemic in South Africa. Declining rates coincide with notable changes in the availability of effective antiretroviral therapy. Intraocular pressure increases the rate of macular vessel density loss in glaucoma (see page 181) Peak IOP, mean IOP, and IOP fluctuation are associated with faster rates of microvascular loss in the macula. Mean IOP is associated with faster rates of microvascular loss, even in eyes with seemingly controlled IOP. Decreased macular deep capillary plexus is associated with functional progression of normal tension glaucoma patients with unilateral visual field loss (see page 188) We...
