Handheld AI Fundus Camera Detects DR in 60 Seconds
New automated device from Optomed features a 50-degree field of view to detect early-phase retinal changes and flags results as red or green.

Peripapillary RNFL Thickness Predictive of Visual Outcomes
Nerve fibers in the temporal quadrant represent the papillomacular bundle and hence strongly influence acuity, researchers propose.

Check MRW Measurements over RNFL for Damage from Anti-VEGF Injections
The former is a more sensitive marker for evaluating the effect of frequent injections on the optic nerve head.

Experts Propose Four New Parameters to Boost Accuracy of Glaucoma Dx on OCT
Fovea-to-disc distance, location of the superior and inferior peaks of the cpRNFL thickness curve, and estimated axial length all correlated with RNFL thickness more so than age and disc area in a new study.

MEWDS Characterized by Unique Photoreceptor Damage Patterns
The inflammatory retinal condition presented a central-to-peripheral gradient of improvement that may suggest specific peripapillary vulnerabilities, researchers suggest.

Optic Nerve Head Structure Affected by Birth Status
Pre-term kids with worse refractive errors showed greater minimum rim width and prelaminar tissue thickness.

Glucose Control, Renal Function Help Predict Anti-VEGF Treatment Response in DME
Patients with low glomerular filtration rates and high glycated hemoglobin levels fared worse in this study, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring of systemic health.

Academy of Ophthalmology Endorses Teleretinal Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy
While this modality was not as robust in detecting DME, studies show it is both accurate and cost-effective for DR.

Diabetes Patients Experience Choroidal Microvascular Alterations Before DR
This was observed in early cases of the disease without associated retinopathy.

Newly Identified Retinal Biomarker May Reveal Systemic Health Insights
Using AI to characterize the ‘fractal dimension’—or branching patterns—of the vasculature yielded associations with disease prevalence in adults of all ages.
