Phakic intraocular Lens implantation in keratoconus patients
CONCLUSION: pIOLs implantation is a valid refractive therapeutic approach for correcting stable keratoconus with moderate-to-high refractive errors, especially anisometropia associated with regular or mildly irregular astigmatism, and good CDVA.PMID:37661651 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231199780 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Study profile: the Genetics of Glaucoma Study
Purpose
Glaucoma, a major cause of irreversible blindness, is a highly heritable human disease. Currently, the majority of the risk genes for glaucoma are unknown. We established the Genetics of Glaucoma Study (GOGS) to identify disease genes and improve genetic prediction of glaucoma risk and response to treatment.
Participants
More than 5700 participants with glaucoma or a family history of glaucoma were recruited through a media campaign and the Australian Government healthcare service provider, Services Australia, making GOGS one of the largest genetic studies of glaucoma globally. The mean age of the participants was...

Optic nerve abnormalities in female-restricted Wieacker-Wolff syndrome by a novel variant in the ZC4H2 gene
DISCUSSION: WRWFFR is an ultra-rare disease with X-linked inheritance by variants in the ZC4H2 gene. This case reports a girl with a novel nonsense variant in the ZC4H2 gene and a severe phenotype; previous reports have identified WRWFFR in females with large deletions and nonsense mutations which could explain the manifestations in the current case report. A complete ophthalmic examination should be considered in patients with WRWFFR to detect the possibly associated optic nerve involvement and other previously described manifestations such as ptosis and strabismus.PMID:37519288 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2023.2237578 (Source...

Ocular manifestations of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT)
This study reviewed diseases associated with the Genomics England CAKUT-associated gene panel for ocular anomalies. In addition, each gene was examined for expression in the human retina and an ocular phenotype in mouse model s using the Human Protein Atlas and Mouse Genome Informatics databases, respectively. Thirty-four (54%) of the 63 CAKUT-associated genes (55 ‘green’ and 8 ‘amber’) had a reported ocular phenotype. Five of the 6 most common CAKUT-associated genes (PAX2,EYA1,SALL1,GATA3,PBX1) that represent 30% of all diagnoses had ocular features. The ocular abnormalities found with most CAKUT-associated genes...

Secondhand smoke exposure and ocular health: A systematic review
The toxicology of secondhand smoke (SHS), along with the harm of its exposure on human health, has been generally acknowledged; however, specific evidence is lacking on the association between SHS exposure and ocular health. In this systematic review (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022247992), we included 55 original articles published by 12 May 2023 that dealt with SHS exposure and ocular disorders such as eye irritation, conjunctivitis, dry eye diseases, uveitis, myopia, astigmatism, contact lens discomfort, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease; that addressed the ocular neurovascular struc...
