Evaluation of anti-adenoviral effects of the polyvinyl alcohol iodine ophthalmic solution
ConclusionSaniode displayed virucidal effects against all tested HAdV types. Currently, with no specific medication available for HAdVs in ocular infection, this could be an option to prevent the spread of keratoconjunctivitis. (Source: Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology)

Measuring macular pigment optical density using reflective images of confocal scanning laser system
ConclusionsThis simplified method can provide accurate and reliable values of the MPOD comparable to heterochromatic flicker photometry. Obtaining the fundus images in this fast and easy way should be suitable for children thus enabling clinicians to determine the MPODs for children. (Source: Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology)

Investigation of satisfaction with short-term outcomes after switching to faricimab to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration
ConclusionSwitching to faricimab with a TAE regimen seems to maintain the BCVA and extend the injection interval in patients with nAMD, resulting in enhanced satisfaction. (Source: Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology)

Lens factor as an underlying mechanism in primary angle closure with gonioscopically-visualized ciliary body processes
ConclusionGonioscopical visualization of ciliary processes may suggest that anterior segment crowding, especially lens factor is the underlying mechanism in PAC. It may provide a practical gonioscopic examination method for predicting the predominant pathophysiology of PAC. (Source: Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology)

Advances in corneal regenerative medicine with iPS cells
AbstractThe cornea is a pioneering area of regenerative medicine, and Japanese researchers have led the world in this field. In Japan, 3 different epithelial sheet regenerative medicine products have been approved for corneal epithelial stem cell deficiency, and the first-in-human studies of cultured corneal endothelial cell suspension transplants, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell)-derived corneal epithelial sheet transplants, and iPS cell-derived corneal endothelial substitute cell transplants were all conducted and reported globally for the first time by Japanese researchers. In the field of corneal epithelial reg...

Accuracy of ultrasound vs. Fourier-domain optic biometry for measuring preoperative axial length in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
ConclusionThe current findings suggest that aOB-AL is more accurate than aUS-AL or fOB-AL in cases of RRD without macular detachment, while aUS-AL or fOB-AL is more accurate than aOB-AL in cases with macular detachment. (Source: Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology)
