A Deep Phenotype Association Study Reveals Specific Phenotype Associations with Genetic Variants in Age-related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a multifactorial disease with variable phenotypic presentation, was associated with 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 34 loci in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). These genetic variants could modulate different biological pathways involved in AMD, contributing to phenotypic variability. To better understand the effects of these SNPs, we performed a deep phenotype association study (DeePAS) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2), followed by replication using AREDS participants, to identify genotype associations with AMD and non-AMD ocular and systemic phenot...

The Progression of Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that leads to progressive and irreversible loss of visual function. Geographic atrophy is defined by the presence of sharply demarcated atrophic lesions of the outer retina, resulting from loss of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and underlying choriocapillaris. These lesions typically appear first in the perifoveal macula, initially sparing the foveal center, and over time often expand and coalesce to include the fovea. (Source: Ophthalmology)

Autorefraction-Based Prescription and Mailed Delivery of Eyeglasses
In the United States, approximately 8.2 million people older than 40 years of age have visual impairment resulting from uncorrected refractive error (RE).1 Subjective refraction (SR) performed by a licensed eye care professional remains the gold standard for correcting RE. However, trained experts often are expensive and underused by poorer populations. Difficulties with transportation, affordability, and coverage gaps are considerable barriers to accessing eye care services among disadvantaged individuals with visual impairment.

Botulinum Toxin A for the Treatment of Photophobia and Dry Eye
Photophobia is a chronic debilitating condition that, in severe cases, causes individuals to become prisoners in their own homes. Despite diminishing quality of life, few studies have evaluated therapies for photophobia. Anecdotally, botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) was reported effective in the treatment of 3 patients with medication-refractory photophobia.1 In this cross-sectional retrospective study, we evaluate the effect of BoNT-A on photophobia and dry eye symptoms in individuals with chronic migraine (CM) and evaluate factors predictive of a positive treatment response.

Modulation of Fibroblasts in Conjunctival Wound Healing
Modulating conjunctival wound healing has the potential to improve outcomes after glaucoma filtration surgery and for several ocular disorders, including ocular cicatrial pemphigoid, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and pterygium. Although anti-inflammatories and antimetabolites have been used with success, these nonspecific agents are not without their complications. The search for novel and more targeted means to control conjunctival fibrosis without such limitations has brought much attention to the regulation of fibroblast proliferation, differentiation, extracellular matrix production, and apoptosis.
