Efficacy of Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong evidence about the effectiveness of different HCLs designs for slowing down myopia progression in children, providing all of them good levels of visual quality. However, there is still poor evidence about changes in accommodation and binocular function, as well as in pupil size and aberrometry with myopia control HCLs, being necessary more studies focused on this issue.PMID:37853677 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2271063 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Safety and Efficacy of Brolucizumab in the Treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema and Diabetic Retinopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Brolucizumab is a new drug that has potential advantages in efficacy over other anti-VEGF agents in the treatment of DME and DR. It showed significant improvement in BCVA and CSMT with the possibility of a lower dosing schedule compared to other agents. Although observed in low frequency, sight-threatening adverse effects appear to occur more frequently compared to other anti-VEGF agents. The main observed adverse event was retinal vasculitis which was seen more commonly with the 3 mg dose versus the 6 mg dose.PMID:37849309 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2271095 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Longitudinal Change of Cup to Disc Ratio in Premature Infants with Enlarged Cup to Disc Ratio and Normal Intraocular Pressure
CONCLUSIONS: The vCDR did not significantly change up to age of 2 years of age in premature infants with enlarged CDR and normal IOP. However, close follow-up is needed until other reliable glaucoma examinations, such as optical coherence tomography and visual fields, can be possible.PMID:37800727 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2264381 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)
