Update on the systemic management of noninfectious uveitis in children and adolescents
Pediatric uveitis is a rare but treatable cause of visual impairment in children. Approximately 60% of children with uveitis will have associated systemic disease, most commonly rheumatological,31 and therefore thorough investigation is required in a child without a prior diagnosis. The most common type of uveitis seen in children is juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-U), often picked up on screening of an asymptomatic child.39 In this review, we will use the term pediatric to refer to children and adolescents up to 18 years old.

Amblyopia: A review of unmet needs, current treatment options, and emerging therapies
Amblyopia is a global public health issue with extensive, multifaceted impacts on vision and quality of life (QoL) for both patients and families. Geographical variation exists in the management of amblyopia, with traditional mainstay treatments, optical correction, and fellow eye occlusion most successful when implemented at an early age. In recent years, however, studies demonstrating meaningful improvements in older children and adults have challenged the concept of a complete loss of visual processing plasticity beyond the critical period of visual development, with growing evidence supporting the potential efficacy of...

Orbital and ocular perfusion in thyroid eye disease
Thyroid eye disease (TED) also termed Graves orbitopathy, is a common accompaniment of Graves ’ disease (GD), with a reported prevalence being 40 % (confidence interval: 0.30 to 0.48)34. Visual acuity decline in TED may occur as a consequence of tear film abnormalities, optic neuropathy, exposure keratopathy, corneal ulceration, chorioretinal folds, or transient obscurations due to orbital congestion53. Subtle involvement of the optic nerve (ON) may go unnoticed unless looked for specifically 100 and result in permanent visual impairment in 4 to 8% of TED cases from dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON)14,114.

Preoperative evaluations for ophthalmic surgery: A systematic review of 48,869 eyes
The demands on modern healthcare systems are significant, with projections of a continued increase in healthcare needs in most industrialized and many developing nations.[8,21] As such, governmental organizations continue to seek opportunities to minimize pressure on the healthcare system and reduce costs.

The natural history of untreated ocular hypertension and glaucoma
Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive disease leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated; however, since reducing intraocular pressure has proven to be successful in slowing disease progression, little is known about the natural history of untreated glaucoma. This knowledge can be valuable in guiding management decisions in the era of personalized medicine. A systematic search was performed in Medline (PubMed), Embase, and Web of Science in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRIMSA) guidelines.

The role of near-infrared reflectance imaging in retinal disease: A systematic review
Near-infrared reflectance (NIR) retinal imaging aids in a better visualization of structures at the level of outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. It has multiple advantages, including easy acquisition in association with structural spectral domain optical coherence tomography, more comfort for patients, and enhanced contrast and spatial resolution. It helps in the diagnosis of chorioretinal disease that presents with minimal funduscopic findings and can be used to follow up many chorioretinal conditions. (Source: Survey of Ophthalmology)

Prophylactic intraocular pressure lowering measures in anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The advent of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections (IVIs) has revolutionized the treatment of patients with retinal vascular disorders such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). The average nvAMD or DME patient receives a total of 6 to 11.5 IVIs per year based on real-world data.9 (Source: Survey of Ophthalmology)

Retinal ischemic cascade: New insights into the pathophysiology and imaging findings
Retinal ischemia gives rise to a complex spectrum in which the cumulative profile of ischemia of the middle and inner retina can be highly variable. We reviewed the current knowledge on paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) pathophysiology and accompanying risk factors, the middle and inner retinal vasculature and blood flow, and the vulnerability of the middle retina in vaso-occlusive disorders. The inner nuclear layer (INL) is easily affected by slight degrees of retinal hypoperfusion and ischemia. (Source: Survey of Ophthalmology)

Persistent diabetic macular edema: Definition, incidence, biomarkers, and treatment methods
Intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment has drastically improved the visual and anatomical outcomes in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME); however, success is not always guaranteed, and a proportion of these eyes demonstrate persistent DME (pDME) despite intensive treatment. While standardized criteria to define these treatment-resistant eyes have not yet been established, many studies refer to eyes with no clinical response or an unsatisfactory partial response as having pDME.
