The Long-Term Effect on Dry Eye of Posterior Approach Ptosis Surgery Vs. Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who underwent MMCR, but not those following upper blepharoplasty, showed signs of dry eye compared to the preoperative status after long-term follow-up. Dry eye signs should be examined before MMCR surgery, and patients should be aware of the high risk of developing dry eye and the need for long-term treatment. Surgeons should carefully consider performing MMCR for patients with severe dry eye.PMID:38221896 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2302546 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Refractive Changes After Horizontal Strabismus Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with high refractive error who undergo horizontal strabismus correction will experience myopic shift. Patients who undergo rectus recession surgery should be fully informed of the possibility of changes in astigmatism preoperatively. For patients who undergo horizontal rectus recession combined with horizontal rectus resection, it is not recommended that glasses be changed within 1 month after surgery.PMID:38223914 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2302543 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Expression of the SARS-CoV-2 Receptor ACE2 and Protease TMPRSS2 in Ocular Hypertension Eyes of Nonhuman Primate and Human
CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and transmembrane protease serine type 2 were expressed widely in rhesus monkey eyes. When compared with controls eyes, the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 was higher in the retinal ganglion cells in ocular hypertension eyes, suggesting that high ocular pressure may affect the patients' ocular susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.PMID:38212998 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2291749 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Reduction of ETV1 is Identified as a Prominent Feature of Age-Related Cataract
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that ETV1 is significantly reduced in human ARC lenses. The repression of ETV1 in ARC lenses appears to contribute to the disrupted differentiation of lens epithelium, which is likely caused by the inhibition of both cell differentiation and migration processes.PMID:38200696 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2302545 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Sex Differences in the Prevalence of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Mini Review
CONCLUSIONS: While most of the population-based studies suggest a higher prevalence among men, the majority of clinic-based studies show no significant difference. Further research with larger samples and standardized criteria is needed to determine whether men are indeed more susceptible to MGD.PMID:38196124 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2301325 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy Demonstrates Pediatric Optic Disc and Peripapillary Strain During Horizontal Eye Rotation
Conclusions: Horizontal duction deforms the normal pediatric optic disc, central retinal vessels, peripapillary retina, and choroid, shearing the inner retina over the choroid. These mechanical effects occur at the sites of remodeling of the disc, sclera, and choroid associated with typical adult features that later emerge later, including optic cup enlargement, temporal disc tilting, and peripapillary atrophy.PMID:38185657 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2295789 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Factors Associated With Laboratory Test Negativity Following a Transition in Specimen Collection in Microbial Keratitis Cases
CONCLUSION: More microbial keratitis associated laboratory tests are being taken over time. Over 60% of tests were negative by 2022. Factors associated with negative laboratory test results included pretreatment with antibiotics and specimens collected with the new collection method.PMID:38179803 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2294700 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Need to Increase the Number of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment Sessions for Patients with Moderate to Severe Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the number of IPL sessions is beneficial for patients with moderate to severe MGD to increase the response rate of treatment, rather than the improvement level. However, there is no need for patients who respond well to a routine number of IPL treatments to undergo additional IPL sessions.PMID:38174380 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2297344 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Mimicking TGFBI Hot-Spot Mutation Did Not Result in Any Deposit Formation in the Zebrafish Cornea
CONCLUSION: This study generated the first zebrafish model mimicking the R124 hot spot mutation in TGFBI-associated CDs. However, evaluations even at 1 year of age did not reveal any deposits in the cornea histopathologically. This study increased the cautions for modelling TGFBI-associated CDs in zebrafish in addition to differences in the corneal structure between zebrafish and humans.PMID:38164916 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2023.2298904 (Source: Current Eye Research)
