Purpose: Currently, corneal blindness is affecting >10 million individuals worldwide, and there is a significant unmet medical need because only 1.5% of transplantation needs are met globally due to a lack of high-quality grafts. In light of this global health disaster, researchers are developing corneal substitutes that can resemble the human cornea in vivo and replace human donor tissue. Thus, this review examines ROCK (Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinases) inhibitors as a potential corneal wound-healing (CWH) therapy by reviewing the existing clinical and nonclinical findings...

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular retinal disease associated with chronic diabetes mellitus, characterized by the damage of blood vessels in the eye. It is projected to become the leading cause of blindness, given the increasing burden of the diabetic population worldwide. The diagnosis and management of DR pose significant challenges for physicians because of the involvement of multiple biochemical pathways and the complexity of ocular tissues. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of DR, including the polyo pathway, hexosamine pathway, protein kinase C (PKC), JAK/STAT signaling pathways, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)...

Purpose: This study clarifies the beneficial effects of MG132, a proteasomal inhibitor, on retinal vascular injury mediated by diabetes-induced oxidative stress through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 ( Nrf2 ). Methods: Diabetic rats and control animals were randomly assigned to receive MG132 or vehicle for 24 weeks, and human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs) were incubated with normal or high glucose with or without MG132. 26S proteasome activity in the rat retinas or cultured HRECs was measured using Suc-LLVY-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin...

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of topical cyclopentolate hydrochloride-induced cycloplegia on anterior segment biomechanics in emmetropic eyes using anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods: Twenty-five emmetropic eyes of 25 volunteers were included. All underwent central corneal thickness (CCT) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements. Anterior scleral thickness (AST) was measured at the level of the scleral spur (SS)(AST-0), 1,000 μm posterior of the SS (AST-1), and 2,000 μm posterior of the SS (AST-2) in the nasal and temporal quadrants using AS-OCT...

Purpose: The melanocortin receptor pan-agonist PL9643, a potential therapy for ocular diseases, was investigated in a phase 2, 12-week study in patients with dry eye disease (DED). Methods: This was a placebo-controlled study evaluating efficacy and safety of thrice-daily PL9643. Placebo (vehicle) was similar to tears. Primary endpoints were intra-patient changes in inferior corneal fluorescein staining and ocular discomfort after 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints were changes in additional DED signs or symptoms...

Purpose: Ozurdex had shown promising anatomical and functional outcomes in managing refractory Irvine-Gass syndrome over the years. Burgeoning usage of Ozurdex has prompted the study of its related complications, particularly the anterior chamber migration of the implant. Methods: Literature reviews on the anterior chamber migration of the Ozurdex via PubMed, EBSCO, and TRIP databases were searched from 2012 to 2020. The predisposing factors, outcomes, and management of such cases were evaluated. Results: A total of 54 articles consisting of 105 cases of anterior migration of Ozurdex were included in this analysis...

Background: The eye is a highly protected organ from ocularly administered drugs; drug- and formulation-related factors contribute significantly to ocular bioavailability. There has been a growing interest in using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in ophthalmology for treating postoperative pain, inflammation, and seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. A preformulation-assisted design boosts efficacy and reduces dose requirements. Methods: This work aims to study the preformulation characteristics of ketorolac tromethamine to improve ocular performance and future formulation development through developing an high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stability-indicating assay, forced degradation under stress conditions, solubility, as well as partition and distribution coefficient measurements...

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of bevacizumab in 3 different application methods, subconjunctival injection (SCI), hyaluronic acid retardant (HAR), and eye drop (ED), on attenuating scar formation in the filtering bleb. Methods: Trabeculectomy (TRAB) was performed on New Zealand rabbits. TRAB rabbits were intervened with bevacizumab SCI, HAR, ED, or mitomycin C, respectively. Intraocular pressure (IOP) of 1, 7, 14, and 28 days after TRAB was recorded, and the bleb survival rate was analyzed. Bleb height, area, and vascularization were evaluated using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) at 7, 14 and 28 days after surgery...

Purpose: This article aims to describe a preclinical proof of concept for a novel once-a-day (OD) brimonidine ophthalmic nanosuspension. Methods: The preclinical proof of concept was established using New Zealand white rabbits as animal models. Dose-finding, multiple-dose efficacy, ocular pharmacokinetic, and hemodynamic studies were performed in normotensive rabbits. Steroid-induced ocular hypertension model in rabbits was used to study efficacy in glaucomatous pathophysiology. The test (0.35% OD suspension) and reference (0...

Purpose: Dry eye disease is attributed to impaired tear production and/or evaporative dry eye. Evaporative dry eye is frequently associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). The objective of this study was to identify clinical study endpoints related to MGD. Methods: This 22-day, noninterventional, case-control clinical study involved three cohorts with increasing MGD severity: no MGD, mild/moderate MGD, and severe MGD. Symptoms were assessed with an ocular symptom questionnaire grading blurred vision, eye burning, eye dryness, eye pain, light sensitivity, eye itching, eye foreign body sensation, and overall ocular discomfort...

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a growing class of chemotherapeutic agents for the purpose of treating cancers that often have relapsed or failed first- and second-line treatments. ADCs are composed of extremely potent cytotoxins with a variety of side effects, one of the most significant being ocular toxicity. The available literature describes these toxicities as varying in severity and in incidence, although with disparate methods of evaluation and management. Some of the most common toxicities include microcyst-like epithelial keratopathy and dry eye...

Purpose: The systemic and ocular pharmacokinetics (PK), and ocular toxicity of benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free TearClear latanoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.005% formulation (TC-002) were evaluated. TC-002 is designed to selectively capture BAK at the time of drug administration; therefore, the dose delivered to the eye contains no quantifiable level of preservative. Methods: The systemic and ocular PK of TC-002 were compared to a BAK containing reference listed drug (RLD, Xalatan™) over a 24-h period, after a single topical ocular dose to 1 eye of male Dutch Belted (DB) rabbits ( n  = 3/timepoint)...

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease affecting 5% to 50% in different populations. The most severe cases of DED are often caused by aqueous deficient dry eye disease (ADDE) due to lacrimal gland (LG) hypofunction. Many patients with severe ADDE do not experience adequate symptom relief from topical treatment, severely reducing their quality of life. The focus of this review is to describe the surgical interventions presently being used or investigated when topical treatment with eye drops is insufficient...

Purpose: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus eye drops following topical instillation in rabbits. Methods: The study included 2 experiments. In single-dose pharmacokinetic study, rabbits received a single bilateral instillation of 0.05% sirolimus eye drops (0.5 mg/mL, 50 μL/eye). In repeat-dose pharmacokinetic study, 0.05% sirolimus eye drops (0.5 mg/mL, 50 μL/eye/time) were instilled into both eyes of rabbits four times a day for 6 consecutive days and one time on day 7...
