Regulation of ophthalmic ocular hypotensive drug approval in the US over the past 140 years
Legislation passed by the U.S. Congress is often reactive to events, rather than proactive in preventing such events. For example, the Securities and Exchange Acts of 1933 and 1934 requiring financial disclosures were reactive to the “Black Monday” stock market crash of 1929, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandating corporate responsibility was reactive to the Enron corporate scandal in 2001. In the same way, much of U.S. Food and Drug Law has been, reactive to public health events. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Corneal Guttae Alone Do Not Make A Diagnosis of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
We think that the observation of scattered corneal guttae on slit lamp examination does not necessarily indicate the patient has a diagnosis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). But somehow, over the years, the finding of cornea guttata alone has become synonymous with this diagnosis. In our opinion, this is wrong and even cavalier.

Ultra-Wide-Field Optical Coherence Tomography and Gaussian Curvature to Assess Macular and Paravascular Retinoschisis in High Myopia
High myopia (HM) is a severe form of nearsightedness characterized by a highly negative refractive error (usually -6 diopters or worse) and eye elongation.1 A meta-analysis conducted in 2010 reported a global prevalence of HM of 2.7% among individuals aged 15 and above.2 However, this prevalence is projected to increase in the coming decades, with an estimated 938 million people affected by HM by 2050, which would be approximately 9.8% of the global population.3 In HM patients, the progressive elongation of the eyeball can lead to various retinal abnormalities, such as myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS), characterized by t...

Comment on Large Language Models in Ophthalmology Scientific Writing: Ethical Considerations, Blurred Lines or Not at All?1
Salimi and Saheb demonstrated the impressive capabilities of ChatGPT 3.5, a Large Language Model (LLM) that “co-authored” the opening 10 paragraphs of their article on the significant impacts and ethical problems with using LLMs in Ophthalmology scientific writing1. Our correspondence explores how the technical processes LLMs use to produce content are incompatible with the scientific method, research , and academic publishing.

Anterior chamber cholesterol crystals in stage 5C retinopathy of prematurity
A 1-year-old girl was referred for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with total retinal detachment and flat anterior chamber in her right eye (Figure A). The lens and preretinal fibrovascular tissue were then removed. Examination showed clear anterior chamber and open-funnel retina with subretinal cholesterol crystals six months after surgery (Figure, B). Five months later, sparkling substance was seen in the eye. Examination revealed anterior chamber sparkling crystals (Figure, C). A procedure of intraocular lavage was performed. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)
