TOPIC: We provide global estimates of the prevalence of corneal blindness and vision impairment in adults 40 years and older and examine the burden by age, gender, and geographic region from 1984-2020. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Corneal opacities (CO) are among the top five causes of blindness worldwide, yet the global prevalence, regional differences, and risk factors are unclear. METHODS: Abstracted data from the published literature and surveys were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Vision Loss Expert Group...

OBJECTIVE: Increased disease-specific mortality has been observed among patients with local recurrence (LR) from uveal melanoma, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if copy number alterations of chromosomes 3 and 8q, at the time of diagnosis, increase the incidence of LR and if disease-specific mortality among patients with LR depends on the chromosome status of the primary tumor. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study SUBJECTS: The study included 239 consecutive patients with primary uveal melanoma (choroidal or ciliary body) treated with Ru-106 brachytherapy, from January 2009 to December 2019 at a single national referral center...

TOPIC: Understanding approaches to sustainability in cataract surgery and their risks and benefits CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In the United States, healthcare is responsible for approximately 8.5% of greenhouse gas (GHG), and cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Ophthalmologists can contribute to reducing GHG emissions, which lead to a steadily increasing list of health concerns ranging from trauma to food instability. METHODS: We conducted a literature review to identify the benefits and risks of sustainability interventions...

PURPOSE: To report 2-year results from the Archway clinical trial of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) for treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). DESIGN: Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-comparator trial. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with previously treated nAMD diagnosed within 9 months of screening and responsive to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. METHODS: Patients were randomized 3:2 to PDS with ranibizumab 100 mg/ml with fixed refill-exchanges every 24 weeks (PDS Q24W) or intravitreal ranibizumab 0...

Adolescent Hispanic children were more likely to report vision impairment, while adolescent non-Hispanic Black children were more likely to report unmet vision needs compared to non-Hispanic White children. These disparities persisted across socioeconomic levels and were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

PURPOSE: Genetic variants in regions that include the mitochondrial genes TXNRD2 and ME3 are associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To assess their clinical impact, we investigated whether TXNRD2 and ME3 genetic risk scores (GRSs) are associated with specific glaucoma phenotypes. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study PARTICIPANTS: 2617 POAG cases and 2634 controls from the NEIGHBORHOOD consortium. METHODS: All POAG-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TXNRD2 and ME3 loci were identified using GWAS data (p<0...
