- Robustness of automated Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness without clinical disc margin adjustment in glaucoma. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Automated BMO-based segmentation demonstrates consistent structure-structure correspondence with cpRNFL in healthy and glaucomatous eyes. Manual realignment yields limited benefit in relatively preserved rim sectors and adds little value in routine glaucoma assessment.

- Association between AREDS/2 supplementation and structural and functional progression in macular telangiectasia type 2. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: AREDS/2 supplementation was not associated with meaningful differences in structural or functional MacTel progression over a 24-month period. These findings do not provide evidence that routine AREDS/2 supplementation slows EZ area loss or preserves visual function in this population.

- Association between pupil size and response to atropine therapy in the Atropine Treatment of Myopia study (ATOM2). [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: A larger change in pupil size on treatment was associated with a better treatment response.

- Effect of vicryl 7 - 0 suturing versus diathermy closure on the ocular surface after small-gauge vitrectomy: a prospective randomized study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In primary 23-gauge PPV with routine port closure, external bipolar diathermy was associated with superior ocular-surface recovery and lower discomfort compared with 7 - 0 Vicryl suturing through 3 months, with reassuring short-term IOP outcomes.

- Long-term observation of myopic shift after secondary intraocular lens implantation in children with congenital cataract and its association with preoperative ocular parameters. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative MS was greater in treated eyes of unilateral CC children than in fellow eyes and bilateral CC eyes. Preoperative evaluation of IALD in unilateral CC, AL in bilateral CC, and corneal astigmatism in all CC children may help optimize target refraction and long-term refractive outcomes.

- Efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in glaucoma secondary to fuchs uveitis syndrome: a multicenter study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: GATT appears to be a safe and effective surgical option for achieving sustained IOP reduction and decreasing medication burden in FUS-associated glaucoma. Its minimally invasive and conjunctival-sparing nature makes it a reasonable initial surgical strategy in selected patients.

- Sub-Tenon's triamcinolone bridging to adalimumab therapy in refractory noninfectious uveitic macular edema. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: ADA combined with STTA bridging therapy was associated with earlier anatomical improvement and additional visual benefits compared with ADA monotherapy, without increased relapse risk.

- Retinopathy of prematurity screening and treatment practice patterns: an African multi-country survey. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: ROP practice patterns across Africa remain heterogeneous and are constrained, in many settings, by limited access to laser photocoagulation, inadequate integration with neonatal services, and gaps in formal training. The widespread use of anti-VEGF as first-line therapy across all stages of disease raises concern in settings where loss to follow-up is common.

- Higher order aberrations and visual quality after refractive surgeries for myopia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. [Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: ICL demonstrated superior clinical effects in reducing total HOAs, spherical aberration, and coma. ICL implantation may be considered in selected patients seeking refractive correction, particularly those with high myopia or large pupils, where optimal optical quality and minimization of higher-order aberrations are desired.

- Retinal ischemic perivascular lesions in patients with pulmonary embolism: an OCT angiography study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: RIPL are remnants of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), known to arise due to heightened vulnerability of the inner nuclear layer to ischemia at the DCP level. This lesion has been associated with chronic ischemia in the retina in many studies. RIPL was more prevalent among patients with PE and was strongly associated with it. These findings suggest an association between PE and subclinical retinal microvascular alterations.

- Corneal nerve regeneration and ocular surface restoration following treatment with autologous serum eye drops in patients with paralytic lagophthalmos and neurotrophic keratitis. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Topical 20% ASED improved both functional and structural parameters in patients with PL and NK, suggesting neuroregenerative potential. These findings support the use of ASED as a therapeutic option in complex ocular surface disease, with IVCM as a valuable tool for monitoring nerve recovery.

- Nishida procedure versus single horizontal muscle transposition in monocular elevation deficiency. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Both Nishida and SHMT procedures were equally effective in improving the elevation in monocular elevation deficit. Postoperative vertical deviation was slightly smaller with SHMT.

- Persistent diffuse photoreceptor disorganization: further evidence with potential associations, long-term clinical course and therapeutic responsiveness of a new clinical entity. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: We add further evidence and additional clinical data to the newly recognized disease PDPD. In our cohort, PDPD presents with subacute, bilateral but sequential vision loss, accompanied by positive visual symptoms (e.g. crossfade) and characteristic OCT changes, including progressive blurring of the EZ beginning in the foveola, followed by outer retinal thinning starting in the parafovea. The etiology remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether anti-inflammatory treatment can modify the disease-course, which resulted in severe visual impairment in the majority of patients.

- Long-term observation of treatment strategies for primary vitreoretinal lymphoma in a multicenter Chinese cohort. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of patients with PVRL, combined intraocular and systemic therapy may be associated with longer OS, while no significant difference in CNS-PFS was observed.

- Global, regional, and national burden of glaucoma, 1990-2023: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Glaucoma exhibits a trajectory of rising cases but declining rates, with significant SDI-related disparities. Low-SDI countries require AI-enabled mass screening and access to generic medications, middle-SDI countries need risk-stratified management and laser trabeculoplasty, and high-SDI countries should focus on normal-tension glaucoma in the elderly.
