The Glaucoma Suspect Problem: Ways Forward
The diagnosis of glaucoma depends upon indentification of characteristic damage to the optic nerve and retinal fiber layer. In many cases, however, clinicians find it difficult to ascertain whether glaucomatous damage is present or absent. These patients are often labeled as “glaucoma suspects,” which creates a subpopulation of individuals without clear-cut disease who nonetheless must remain under surveillance. Most will never go on to develop glaucoma, yet the need for ongoing monitoring burdens clinics and health care systems. In this perspective, we illustrate possible directions and novel approaches that can be us...

Ocular Trauma During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions: There was a reduction in overall eye injuries and substantial differences in the spectrum of ocular trauma during the COVID-19 pandemic. Proper health education and supervision should be strengthened to prevent ocular injuries related to COVID-19 preventive interventions. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology)

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic–Related Lifestyle on Myopia
Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic–related lifestyle on myopia outcomes in children to young adults. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases (with manual searching of reference lists of reviews). Studies included assessed changes in myopia-related outcomes (cycloplegic refraction) during COVID and pre-COVID. Of 367 articles identified, 7 (6 prospective cohorts; 1 repeated cross-sectional study) comprising 6327 participants aged 6 to ...

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is responsible for half of the glaucoma-related blindness worldwide. Cataract surgery with or without trabeculectomy has been considered to be the first-line treatment in eyes with medically uncontrolled PACG. While minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has become an important surgical approach for primary open-angle glaucoma, its indications and benefits in PACG are less clear. This review summarizes the efficacy and safety profile of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in PACG to unfold new insights into the surgical management of PACG.

Oxygen in Corneal Collagen Crosslinking to Treat Keratoconus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Increasing oxygen during epithelium-on CXL improved visual acuity and produced corneal flattening without any serious adverse events in patients with keratoconus. The demarcation line depth was significantly higher with oxygen compared to the control group. Further data are required with a control group and long-term follow-up across a range of CXL protocols for implementation into standard clinical practice.

Corneal Crosslinking: Present and Future
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal thinning disorder that can lead to vision loss. In the last 2 decades, corneal crosslinking (CXL) has emerged as an effective method to halt the progression of keratoconus and reduce the number of patients requiring keratoplasty. The procedure has been adopted globally and has evolved to become a part of combination treatments to regularize the cornea and improve visual outcomes. CXL has even been extrapolated in managing other ocular pathologies such as progressive myopia, infectious keratitis, and bullous keratopathy. This review aims to summarize the current role of CXL in keratoconu...
