From Establishing a World-Renowned Eye Institute to Integrating Ophthalmology and Optometry in China: The Story of The Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University
This article reviews the history of development of the Eye Hospital and elaborates its spirit of “making the impossible possible”, which has guided it all the way through from an unknown regional to a renowned top-tier hospital with national and global recognition as a first-class institution.

Eye Diseases Direct Interest to Complement Pathway and Macrophages as Regulators of Inflammation in COVID-19
Many of the risk factors for developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are also risk factors for eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). During the past decades, macrophages and the complement pathway (as a part of the innate immune system) have been identified as important contributors to the development of AMD, and we suggest that these mechanisms are of similar importance for the clinical course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Based on the experience with AMD, we discuss how behavioral factors such as diet, smoking and higher body mass index, a...

The Next Generation of Ocular Pathogen Detection
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing is a powerful method for pathogen detection that combines advanced genome sequencing technology with cutting-edge bioinformatics to analyze microbial populations. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing has the potential to identify uncommon, unculturable, and even previously unidentified pathogens from a clinical isolate. Of particular interest to ophthalmology, this robust data extraction can occur from very small volume clinical samples. Here we discuss the opportunities and limitations of this technique and their current and future application to ophthalmic diagnostics. (Source: As...

Recent Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Uveitis Prevalent in Asia-Pacific Region
The role of infections in intraocular inflammation is being increasingly recognized across the world. The Asia-Pacific region, being the single largest and most populous geographical entity on the planet, is home to a wide variety of such infections. Not surprisingly, there has been an explosion in the literature on infectious uveitis emerging from Asia-Pacific countries. In this review, we have covered recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and pathogenesis of common forms of infectious uveitis from the Asia-Pacific region. Much of the literature is focussed on the diagnosis of these infections by clinical criteria ...

A Review of Local Therapy for the Management of Cystoid Macular Edema in Uveitis
Uveitic macular edema is a significant cause of visual impairment in most uveitis types. Treatment options of uveitis have advanced remarkably in recent years. Up to now, corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment. Nonsteroidal immunomodulators, and recently the biologic agents, which can reinforce efficacy and enable discontinuation or reduction of steroids to maintenance doses, are becoming increasingly popular in the management of uveitic macular edema. Several medications can be used in intraocular delivery and more and more sustained releasing implants are being developed. This review will briefly focus on the r...

Role of Ocular Imaging in Diagnosis and Determining Response to Therapeutic Interventions in Posterior and Panuveitis
This review provides a comprehensive description and careful interpretation of various ocular imaging techniques to visualize the different ocular structures in posterior and panuveitis. This can help in the diagnosis, follow-up, and monitoring the response to treatment in patients with different posterior and panuveitic entities. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology)
