Variance in visual field (VD) damage is substantially driven by five patient-reported symptoms, according to a cross-sectional study.

Patients with nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (NDCKD) have significantly lower centre subfield, average macular, and average ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses, a recent study has found. All quadrants for the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer, except for its temporal quadrant, were all likewise thinner in NDCKD patients.

The visual field fast, a free iPad-based noise-field perimeter, can reliably and accurately detect glaucomatous scotomas, a recent study has found. Its performance for localizing and detecting such lesions, however, could still be improved further.

In the treatment of patients with severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), laser appears to increase the trend to severe myopia, according to a study. Meanwhile, intravitreal bevacizumab does not affect myopic progression and reduces the need to consequently undergo laser treatment.

The XtraFocus pinhole device can help reduce glare and improve vision in pseudophakic patients with irregular corneal astigmatism or intragenic iris trauma, reports a recent study.

Elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) occur commonly in uveitis patients who are receiving treatment with topical difluprednate, a study has found. This IOP elevation risk is pronounced among children and adult patients with concurrent systemic corticosteroids.
