Analysis of corneal tomography in select Black and LatinX children
Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral and often asymmetric disease which can progress to corneal thinning and protrusion. Keratoconus in children appears to be more aggressive than in adults. Research on pediatric keratoconus is limited, and treatments rely on research and experience in adult populations. The current study aimed to provide an analysis on the distribution of the corneal tomography measurements in an underserved, Black and LatinX, primarily low-income pediatric population.

Increased submissions to ophthalmology scientific journals during the COVID-19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began at the end of 2019 and quickly became a global issue affecting most countries in early 2020. Lockdowns were implemented by most countries and continued in various forms for around two years. These unprecedented restrictions were elevated and reduced with the pandemic waves within each geographical area, causing many people to stay at home, sometimes for considerably extended periods. Education was often performed on online platforms, and, where possible, people would work from home [1]. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)

Exploring contact lens opportunities for patients above the age of 40 years
Contact lenses offer a good option for patients with presbyopia, especially with improved optical designs available in modern multifocal contact lenses. Due to the ageing population there is good opportunity to increase contact lens penetration by managing these patients better. However, multifocal contact lenses achieve low penetration in the market. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)
