In the treatment of patients with filamentous fungal keratitis, natamycin performs better than chlorhexidine, being associated with more favourable outcomes, including visual acuity, and fewer adverse events, as shown in a study.

A fluocinolone acetonide implant shows good tolerability and safety profile over ≥3 years of follow-up, yielding only predictable and manageable events, according to a study.

Ultra-widefield angiography (UWFA) is able to identify more retinal capillary nonperfusion (RCNP) than conventional fundus fluorescein angiography, particularly in the temporal quadrant. Of note, large increases in RCNP over 100 weeks of follow-up seeme to be uncommon.

In the treatment of patients with uveitis, adalimumab delivers long-term efficacy while having an acceptable side-effect profile, according to real-world data.

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.
