Lipid-based eye drop formulations for the management of evaporative dry eyes
Dry eye disease is a progressive prevalent ocular surface disorder that arises from various factors and is characterized by insufficient quality and/or quantity of tears. The underlying pathophysiology is intricate and can progress to chronic, difficult-to-treat conditions. Multiple strategies and therapeutic approaches are utilized in its management that target one or more etiopathological components of dry eyes, which may include aqueous tear deficiency or evaporative dry eyes. The primary focus of this paper is on treatment alternatives that utilize lipids for the treatment of evaporative dry eyes. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)

Efficacy and Safety of Lotilaner Ophthalmic Solution 0.25% for the Treatment of Demodex Blepharitis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Demodex blepharitis, often overlooked in ocular surface disease, involves Demodex mites, prevalent ectoparasites on human skin. Current treatments may not effectively eliminate these mites, prompting a need for targeted therapies. Lotilaner, an antiparasitic agent, shows promise. This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses 0.25% lotilaner ophthalmic solution's efficacy in reducing Demodex mite populations and its impact on ocular surface inflammation in Demodex blepharitis patients.

Cortical dynamics in visual areas induced by the first use of multifocal contact lenses in presbyopes
A common non-spectacle strategy to correct presbyopia is to provide simultaneous images with multifocal optical designs. Understanding the neuroadaptation mechanisms behind multifocal devices usage would have important clinical implications, such as predicting whether patients will be able to tolerate multifocal optics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the brain correlates during the initial wear of multifocal contact lenses (CLs) using high-density visual evoked potential (VEP) measures. Fifteen presbyopes (mean age 51.8 ± 2.6 years) who had previously not used multifocal CLs were enrolled. (Source: Contact L...

Central and peripheral corneal sagittal height in keratoconus and healthy eyes
Keratoconus is a chronic, bilateral and asymmetric ocular condition characterized by a progressive thinning of the stroma and an increase in the curvature of the anterior and posterior surface of the cornea [1,2]. These morphological changes are often accompanied by increased high and low-order optical aberrations [3] and a consequent loss of vision, with a negative impact on the quality of life of patients [4]. Keratoconus is the most common primary corneal ectasia, presenting an estimated global prevalence of 1.38 cases per 1000 [5], with a similar occurrence irrespective of sex [6] and ethnicity.

Rethinking contact lens aftercare
Patient care was modified during the time of COVID19 in order to maintain safety for patients and practitioners [1]. An introduction of a ‘triage’ type of telemedicine was widely adopted so that valuable patient appointment times were reserved for those with the most urgent needs [2]. In contact lens practice a lot of routine aftercare was postponed and in UK hospital contact lens practice an attempt was made to identify those con tact lens patients that required essential care. One study showed that this telemedicine approach combined with seeing essential cases did not compromise patient safety and no additional adve...
